• World Cruise Story – Aura Guide

World Cruise Story, the most important part, is the Aura of each character, you probably need those aura to pass those King/Queen request.

People may think of, how to get the Aura, i cant make it, or whatever reason.

Here is the tips, and a Walk Though how you going to build a better CRUISE.

Cruise Plan

1. There will total 5 Floor in the Cruise, once you upgrade to the last expansion.  So let start talking about the Floor PLAN..

1st floor – A Maze + Tour Guide. tour guide try to put near the exit if your MAZE is too big.  at late game like Yr 7 onward, u can start placing CABIN at 1st floor.

2nd Floor – FULL of Facilities, all the IN-Door facilities is at 2nd FLoor, you can make a SUITE some where near the side, and put some statue or plant to make the APL higher. This SUITE will let you handle THOSE KING/QUEEN/REVIEWER.  Dont let them RUN too FAR to get to the next facility.

3rd Floor – i call it a STATEROOM Floor, Red Carpet + Stateroom, vending machine as well, left a gap between each stateroom from left to right. and leave 2-3 gap from top to btm, so you can make a walk way + some deco(Plant or Statue) to boose nearby APL, remember to put vending machine between 2 stateroom. the map plan is something like that

|Stateroom|V|Stateroom|Plant|Stateroom|V|Stateroom|Plant|

4th Floor – i call it a SUITE FLOOR, this floor have the highest BONUS APL, So suite room is the best.

5th Floor – the Roof, OUT-DOOR facility + Pool + Hot Tub. this will BOOST all +25 APL Bonus

this is all the PLAN, so you probably get like 40++ ROOM allow this passengers, the problem you will still facing is too many ppl, so placing CABIN at 1st Floor will help you a lot.

** IF you have enough Money, u can try building ATM x4 or more. to reduce the time for waiting.

**All Facilities only need to have 1. except SLOT x2

King/Queen Request

Many people fail at the 6 or 7th king/queen. the problem mostly is not enough QLty of facilities. Try to Boost Your Suite Qlty to 200 Above, and Vending Machine + Restaurant to 120 above. i found that most of the king like to visit this 2. if you Fail, just try to remember which facilities that king/queen visit often, just boost 3 facilities to 120. it will get PASS easily(but better + your MAZE at 1st Floor)

how to make a maze? ok, here is the screen shot. i will explain later if you still dont understand

Ok, got what i mean? There are total 4 Entrance, just block the 3 with any object, do not let those people pass through.  Did you see the pink carpet at top? and beside is the statue and Plant, those statue and plant BOOST the pink carpet to higher ENERGY, so the before the traveler check in to their room, they will have aura on their body.

here is the Floor plan

See the MAZE work? this is just for beginning, while u go to like year 8, the maze will look bigger ^^

Ok, hopefully this little tips will help you people pass all the king/queen faster.

Thanks, been looking for a good guide for this.

hi, just use some Game Cheat to hack the $$. e.g GameCIH, but 1st, you need to Root your Android, or Jailbreak your ios.

how to use gameCIH??

you need to root your android phone/tablet 1st 🙂

Hi! Do you mind posting all the floor plans?

And, how do you get those pink carpets? 😮

How to get pink carpet

How to get a theater too?? I completed all country ang kings and queen but I did nt have any theater

Thanks for the guide. Btw, how do you get more statue (like thinker or angel)? I think thinker and angel is available in limited quantity…

Just wondering, could you post the layout for the other rooms? I get the general idea, but I want a clear visual of how it turns out.

Pictures are fine, but if you feel like explaining the rooms then go ahead!

World Cruise Story

It seems like only yesterday that Game Dev Story was getting smartphone users all excited at the prospect of a management game that was both accessible and deep.

Now it's getting hard to count how many of Kairosoft's Japanese management sims have been translated to English. Six? Eight? It's a wonder anybody has any spare time left.

Whenever a new Kairosoft game pops up, we can always be sure of one thing - it'll be incredibly familiar, and by extension incredibly good.

World Cruise Story doesn't stray from this formula, offering essentially the same game you've played many times over, but on a boat.

You're the owner of a cruise ship, ready to accept passengers at the port and take them on a seafaring voyage full of relaxation, sunshine, and entertainment.

You're presented with a floor plan on which you can place down cabins, attractions, restaurants, shops, and other such money-makers. You've also got multiple decks on which you can place deckchairs and the like for those passengers who want to soak up the sun.

Your boat will routinely dock at ports, letting people off and allowing more to jump on. You can even arrange coach trips for passengers to explore the country in between ship journeys.

It's another great spin on the Kairosoft management style, and works well with the standard menu system, levelling up functionality, and classic visuals.

As with every other Kairosoft title, it expands far beyond this, with new items and opportunities popping up constantly.

You can invest in businesses to get a more diverse group of people joining your cruises a la Mega Mall Story , and even invest in whole countries so that people joining from those regions have more money to spend with you.

You can use items to upgrade facilities, while the usual compatibility guide, a key part of every Kairosoft game, is also present to help you get the most out of your layout.

As you impress your passengers they'll become fans of your cruise service, increasing the likelihood of them coming back. It's cute, it's easy to get into, and it'll leave you playing at ridiculous times in the morning because you simply can't put it down.

World Cruise Story is another great Story game. However, it feels like the series is finally hitting breaking point. If this is your first Kairosoft game, we recommend it wholeheartedly. If you've played them all before, we recommend it with the rather predictable caveat that it's nothing new. It would have been nice to see some innovation.

Either way, Kairosoft continues to dominate the management genre on smartphones, and World Cruise Story is yet again another title that you cannot afford to miss.

“Pretty cheesy, yeah”: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Star Calling Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 2 Cheesy Was the Last Thing on Our 2024 Bingo Cards

T here is a list of great many things on Tom Cruise’s daily planner that he needs to accomplish, preferably before sundown. One of those things does not include being insulted for his already heavily criticized movie – Mission: Impossible II  – 24 years after its release. However, Carrie Coon missed the memo on the subject since it is only now that the actress has started binge-watching all of Ethan Hunt’s magnificent globe-trotting adventures.

Carrie Coon Gives an Honest Take on  Mission: Impossible II

In a recap of her Mission: Impossible watch-along misadventures, Carrie Coon , in a fun June 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter , revealed what she thinks of Tom Cruise ’s nascent days as Ethan Hunt, the super spy. After clearing up her brief confusion on which one of the sequels was considered more “notorious,” she went on to claim Mission: Impossible II as “pretty cheesy.”

Despite His Life Threatening Stunts in Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise May Never Break This World Record by Jackie Chan

With a weak screenplay, poorly written characters, and an unnecessary number of slow-motion sequences, the only saving grace of Mission: Impossible II  was Thandie Newton ‘s seductive acting and the film’s expressive stunt choreography.

What Went Wrong With Tom Cruise’s  Mission: Impossible II ?

Of all the things that could go wrong in a movie – script, casting, direction, or film editing – it is truly surprising when the whole production goes off without a hitch, and yet the movie ends up putting the audience off after completion. Nothing better than erasing such a movie from its very existence would satisfy one’s soul and Tom Cruise’s  Mission: Impossible II  holds a very high rank in this sour list of misfired Hollywood experiments.

“People are going to be floored”: Mission Impossible 8 Star Reveals Details about One Epic Scene With Tom Cruise, Promises Fans Have No Idea What’s Coming

Walking out of the theaters after 2 hours and 3 minutes of pure retinal torture and with one’s skull still rattling from the film’s egregious lack of substance, it is surprising the critics could report back to their workstations and sign off on an aggregate of 56% rating on Rotten Tomatoes . Commercially, however, Mission: Impossible II earned 4.4x more than its $125 million budget by cashing in $549.5 million worldwide [via  The Numbers ].

Mission: Impossible II  is available for streaming on Paramount+

Mission: Impossible 8 is scheduled to premiere on May 23, 2025.

Steven Spielberg Tells Tom Cruise: ‘You Saved Hollywood’s Ass’ and ’Top Gun: Maverick’ Might’ve ‘Saved the Entire Theatrical Industry’

Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise reunited at this year’s Oscar nominees luncheon, where the blockbuster filmmaker praised his “Minority Report” and “War of the Worlds” actor for saving the theatrical movie business with “ Top Gun: Maverick .” Both Spielberg and Cruise are in the running for best picture this year thanks to “The Fabelmans” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” respectively.

“Top Gun: Maverick” was the second movie to gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office amid the pandemic, following “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” With a $1.48 billion gross, “Maverick” ranks as the 11th highest-grossing movie in history worldwide (unadjusted for inflation). The film is the fifth-highest grosser at the domestic box office with $718 million.

Although “No Way Home” grossed more, that was a Marvel movie with three generations of Spider-Man actors in it. Although “Maverick” is a sequel, its success was hardly preordained. Yet the follow-up to 1986’s “Top Gun” became a rare old-fashioned hit that legged out at the box office for months based on worth of mouth. According to Paramount, repeat customers fueled the momentum for “Maverick.” By its fourth weekend in North American movie theaters, 16% of the audience had returned more than once and 4% had returned three times or more.

As Variety’s Oscars expert Clayton Davis previously reported , Cruise was the big hit of the nominees Luncheon. Spielberg was hardly the only nominee who fawned over the “Maverick” star. Brendan Gleeson, Paul Mescal, Baz Luhrmann, Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler and more all made sure to approach Cruise during the event and take photos.

“Top: Gun Maverick” is nominated for six Oscars, while “The Fabelmans” is up for seven. The Oscars air March 12 on ABC.

How west county is growing: Palms West Hospital to build 5-story tower for robotics surgery

Hca palms west hospital already is a florida leader in robotics-assisted surgery. a five-story tower will let it grow to serve international clients..

• Robotics-assisted surgeries perform urologic and gynecological procedures with less blood, scarring and risk of infection.
• HCA Palms West already performs about 1,200 robotics-assisted surgeries per year, an average of three or four every day.
• The hospital's CEO says the move will allow the hospital to become an international destination for people in need of such procedures.

ROYAL PALM BEACH — HCA Palms West Hospital will build a five-story tower along Southern Boulevard in the hope of becoming an international destination for robotics-assisted surgery.

The investment will allow the hospital to specialize even further in the emerging technology, which allows for smaller incisions and faster recoveries, said Jason Kimbrell, the hospital's CEO.

"This is our next chapter," Kimbrell said. "In the long-term, we want patients to come from around the county and the world to undergo robotic-assisted surgery here."

The modern building will be one of the tallest in the Wellington-Royal Palm Beach area and the first building on Palms West's campus, whose footprint will touch Southern Boulevard.

It also will honor the legacy of Mike Pugh, Palms West's first CEO, who championed the opening of the hospital's OB-GYN unit in 1989. Palms West today is home to the only full-service women's and children's center in the western communities.

From EMT to CEO: Jason Kimbrell followed unusual path to Palms West Hospital's top job

Robotics surgery's benefits: Less blood, scarring, infections, and faster recoveries

HCA Palms West already is a leader in robotics surgery in South Florida. Over 1,200 of these procedures are performed every year at HCA Palms West, an average of three or four each day. The hospital has had over 20,000 robotic surgeries since 2010.

In 2022, HCA Palms West became the first hospital in Palm Beach County to be accredited by the nonprofit group Surgical Review Corp. as a center of excellence in robotic surgery.

The center employs 22 robotics-assisted surgeons who operate Da Vinci machines, a robotics system with four interactive arms and a high-resolution 3D camera. The surgeons share six consoles at which they perform minimally invasive procedures involving less blood, less scaring, a reduced risk of infection and faster patient recovery.

Surgeons sit in front of the consoles and fit their fingers into sensors that translate their movements to the arms holding miniaturized instruments that move inside the patient with more precision than the human hand.

HCA Palms West uses robotics-assisted for general, thoracic and orthopedic, gynecologic and urologic procedures that include:

• Urologic: Prostate cancer, Bladder and kidney cancer, Vesicoureteral reflux.
• Gynecologic: Cancers of the cervix, ovaries and uterus, Endometriosis, Ovarian masses and Uterine fibroids.
• Cholecystectomy, Colorectal surgery and Hernia repair.

Tower will honor Mike Pugh, HCA Palms West's founding CEO

The five-story, budgeted at $80 million and scheduled to open in 2027, will include 36 beds for patient recovery. It will also feature a separate entrance, a gift shop, a community education space, classroom, a coffee shop and a cafeteria.

It's a far cry from the scene Pugh saw in March 1984, when he drove his son Eric, then 14, to the middle of a densely forested lot just outside Wellington. Back then, the area had dirt roads flanked by cow pastures and was "a wild, natural Florida habitat," Eric said.

Mike drove past the trees, deep into the middle of the woods, parked the car and turned to his son.

"In a couple of years, there is going to be a hospital here," Eric recalls. "I was like, 'Wow. I can't believe that.' "

Mike, who served 20 years in the Army, was working in Huntsville, Alabama, when he got an offer to oversee the opening of the first hospital in western Palm Beach County.

He relocated with his wife and two sons to Wellington and began assembling the hospital's medical personnel and staff from an on-site shed where engineers discussed blueprints. In 1986, Mike opened Palms West Hospital. Over the next 10 years, he saw a boom of residents and businesses transform the sleepy, rural area into busy suburbs.

"In the early years, there was such little population that if he had 20 beds filled it was a good day," Eric said. "The population growth over the years made the hospital a success because it eventually had more business."

In 1989, Mike launched the OB-GYN department, making Palms West the first hospital in the western communities where women could deliver their babies.

Archives describe Mike as an energetic leader, who always went out of his way to make conversation or share a joke. Growing up in Wellington, Eric says people always stopped him to offer anecdotes about his dad. When Mike retired in 1997, over 300 people from doctors, nurses, and staff showed up to his farewell party.

"He was like Elvis Presley in that hospital," Eric says between laughs. "It was a huge celebration and a testament to how widely loved my dad was among all the people."

HCA Palms West expands as Palm Beach County's western suburbs grow

Over the last five years, HCA Palms West has invested millions to expand hospital departments to meet the demand of the growing population of Palm Beach County's western communities.

"When you look where the growth is happening, it's going west," said Kimbrell.

Kimbrell said the hospital had narrowed its focus on pediatrics, women's health, and specialized surgeries with robotic assistance.

Last year, HCA Palms West unveiled a $6 million 18-bed, Level-3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a $16 million pediatric and adult emergency room expansion, and a $22 million operating center.

Kimbrell and Mike met last month for the first time. Kimbrell walked him outside to the middle of Palms West's packed parking lot, stopped between two cars and turned to Mike.

"In a couple of years, right over here, we will have a five-floor tower for the hospital," Kimbrell said. "And, none of it would've been possible without your legacy."

"Five floors?" Mike asked with a laugh. "Wow. I can't believe that."

Israel-Hamas war latest: Hamas 'wants written guarantees from US' before agreeing to ceasefire deal; Israel ponders 'extensive' response to Hezbollah rockets

Hamas says it wants written guarantees from the US before agreeing to a ceasefire deal - as Israel mulls its response to scores of rockets fired from Lebanon following the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in a presumed Israeli airstrike last night.

Wednesday 12 June 2024 16:45, UK

• Israel-Hamas war

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

• 90 missiles fired at northern Israel from Lebanon after 'massive' alerts | Further 70 sent in second barrage | IDF strikes back
• Israel 'has not decided' whether extensive reaction required in Lebanon
• Hezbollah claims responsibility for strikes after commander death
• Confusion remains over Biden ceasefire deal
• Explained:  The three phases of the deal and what key players have said
• UN finds war crimes committed by both Israel and Hamas in early months of war
• Live reporting by Emily Mee , Mark Wyatt and, earlier,  Ollie Cooper

A blame game appears to be taking place between Hamas and the US today, with both sides accusing the other of causing problems with the ceasefire proposal. 

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan has been discussing the proposal this afternoon, after the US said Hamas had proposed "unworkable" changes. 

"Many of the proposed changes are minor and not unanticipated," Mr Sullivan said. 

"Others differ more substantially from what was outlined in the UN Security Council resolution." 

Mr Sullivan added the US will work with Egypt and Qatar to bridge the gaps in the proposal. 

Hamas earlier denied it had put forward new changes to the potential deal.

Firefighters in northern Israel have brought fires sparked by Hezbollah rockets under control, according to a report in the Times of Israel.

More than 160 rockets were launched at Israel from southern Lebanon, after Israel struck and killed a senior Hezbollah commander overnight.

No casualties have been reported.

Teams are still working to fully extinguish the blazes in the Birya Forest and the Kadita, Ein Zeitim, and Zivon communities.

A Hamas official has denied the militant group put forward new ideas for the US-backed ceasefire proposal. 

Osama Hamdan told Al-Araby TV that US secretary of state Antony Blinken was "part of the problem, not the solution" in the conflict. 

Mr Blinken earlier blamed Hamas for the lack of a deal, saying it had suggested numerous changes - some of which were "unworkable". 

The proposal was initially outlined by Joe Biden at the end of last month, but has so far failed to produce a deal. 

We're just hearing from our Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall on the latest developments in ceasefire talks. 

He says Hamas has always stuck to its position that there will be no deal unless a ceasefire is made permanent from the outset, while Israel has always refused to countenance this. 

Israel says it wants to keep fighting Hamas until "total victory". 

"That gap has never been bridged between the two sides," says Bunkall, adding that compromise will be needed from one of the parties in order for a deal to be done. 

US secretary of state Antony Blinken is putting the blame at Hamas's door for the lack of deal, saying everyone else is signed up to the most recent proposal. 

But Bunkall says he is "not entirely sure that's true" as there is "disquiet" in the Israeli cabinet, particularly on the far right. 

He says it's possible the "ultimate outcome" is that the two sides keep fighting but with Mr Blinken in the region visiting the major stakeholders in this conflict, there will be a "push" to get a ceasefire deal closer.

A little earlier we brought you comments from US secretary of state Antony Blinken on Hamas's proposed ceasefire changes. 

We can now bring you more on what he said on UN findings that both Israel and Hamas committed war crimes in the early months of the war. 

Mr Blinken said the US continues "to do the work to make our own assessments" on whether there have been violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. 

He said he had not seen the findings "but of course we'll look at that". 

"We continue to look very carefully at international humanitarian law, laws of armed conflict, human rights," he said.

These images show fires raging and smoke rising from northern Israel, following hours of Hezbollah strikes.

No casualties have been reported, but firefighters continue to tackle the resulting blazes. 

A short time ago, Antony Blinken began a news conference alongside Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al Thani in Doha. 

At the beginning of the conference, he discussed the latest developments with the ceasefire deal outlined by Joe Biden at the end of May. 

The US secretary of state said Hamas had proposed a number of changes to the framework put forward by Washington. 

"We discussed those changes last night... some of the changes are workable, some are not," he said. 

He then outlined where the deal stands. 

"A deal was on the table that was virtually identical to one that Hamas put forward on 6 May... Hamas could have answered with a single word: 'Yes'."

"Instead, Hamas waited nearly two weeks and then proposed more changes, a number of which go beyond positions that it [had] previously taken and accepted." 

"As a result, the war will go on," he said, before adding that he would do everything he can to get a deal done. 

He believes the gaps between the parties are bridgeable. 

"Look, Israel accepted the proposal, Hamas didn't... if Hamas continues to say no then it will be clear that they have made a choice to continue the war that they started."

He insisted that the deal was still on the table. 

"We'll have to see over the coming days... [but] the longer this goes on, the more people suffer," he said.

He also said that the coming weeks would see the US State Department come up with key ideas for the potential "day after" policy. 

"Hamas cannot and will not be allowed to decide the future for this region and its people," he concluded. 

The Hamas-run health ministry says at least 37,202 Palestinians have now been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October.

A further 84,932 have been injured, it added.

The figures reported by the ministry do not differentiate between fighters and civilians.

As we've been reporting, Israel has faced a volley of some 160 rockets fired by the Lebanon-based Hezbollah throughout today.

This video shows Israel's air defence system, the Iron Dome, intercepting rockets as they fly over northern Israeli territory. 

Hezbollah has vowed to increase the intensity, force and quantity of its operations against Israel. 

Hamas wants written guarantees from the US over a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza before it signs off on Joe Biden's proposed truce deal, sources have said. 

Two Egyptian security sources told the Reuters news agency that Hamas would only accept the plan if the guarantees were in place.

Egypt is thought to be in contact with the US about the request.

"Hamas wants reassurances of an automatic transition from one phase to another as per the agreement laid out by President Biden," a third source with knowledge of the talks said.

Hamas's concerns seem to centre on the the transition from the first phase of the plan into the second, given a lack of detail. 

What is the proposed deal?

The first of the proposed three-phase deal would be a ceasefire lasting six weeks, during which Israel and Hamas would negotiate a permanent end to the fighting in Gaza, Mr Biden said when outlining the plan at the end of May.

If the negotiations take longer than six weeks, the ceasefire would continue for as long as it takes to strike a deal, he added.

Phase two would involve Hamas handing over the remaining hostages and Israel withdrawing all of its forces from Gaza.

The final phase would be about a "major reconstruction plan" for Gaza, according to the president.

It was backed by the United Nations Security Council on Monday.
