Day 1[]

The players are greeted in the pool by the crew boy Jack. After welcoming the players onboard, Jack suggests the players explore the cruise ship. Cruise Bucks are scattered around the cruise for players to spend on Buffet items.

After some time, Jack calls the players back to the cruise and starts a Scavenger Hunt around the cruise. After three rounds of this, he starts a game of Dodgeball.

Night 1[]

After the game of dodgeball, it became night time. Jack instructs the players to go to the Buffet for a free slice of Pizza, then has to go to the Staterooms and sleep, instructing the players to go there too.

In the middle of the night, the players, unable to sleep, discuss how they all got free tickets, and were suspecting something wrong with the deal. Suddenly, a ghost pirate ship rises out of the water, to the players' horror. The cruise's electricity then goes out, prompting the players to go outside for assistance.

Jack in the halls near the Electricity Room. After conversing with the players, he asks them to find the Keycard the unlocks the room, located in the Bathroom. After finding it, he opens to the door, and the players take on the Electricity Challenge.

Once the power is back on, the player attempt to alert Jack to some graffiti on the bathroom walls, but it had disappeared by then. Jack then has the players go back to sleep, reminding them of the upcoming Dinner with the Captain.

Day 2[]

The players wake up after the power montage. After getting dressed for the dinner, the players go to the Arcade to look for Jack. To their confusion, he has yet to arrive, so they decide to use the arcade machines to pass the time; 10 Tickets from the machines allow a player to obtain a Baseball Bat.

Suddenly, the machines start glitching and the lights go off once again. Outside the door is the pirate Green beard, who yells, "I SAID GIVE IT BACK!" before summoning Ghost Pirates to attack the players, initiating the Battle Challenge. After some time, the Ghost Pirates are recalled, and Green beard gives one last warning to surrender a Golden Necklace before he sinks the Cruise.

The confused players head to the Dining Room for dinner. The Captain introduces himself as Edward Smith and explains Jack could not attend because he was sick. He then allows the players to grab and eat some Roast Chicken, which the players find out is poisoned.

After informing Smith about Green beard and his looking for a Golden Necklace, they notice one around his neck, but he refuses to surrender it. The players are knocked unconscious.

Night 2[]

When the players come to, they are locked in a Jail cell. Jack is in an adjacent cell, explaining he found the necklace in the Captain's Cabin, only for Smith to notice and lock him in jail. He then gives the players a Stick to reach the Yellow Key to their cell. After opening the cell door, the players find the Blue Key to bust Jack out. (Behind one of the objects there is a Green Keycard, which is used for the Secret Ending)

The party then leaves the Jail, entering the Pipe Room. Green beard is standing inside. After telling them to regret their greed, he causes an explosion, causing water to leak out and start sinking the ship, as well as locking the players in, forcing them to complete the Hydraulics Escape Challenge.

The player exits the Pipe Room and enter a room containing security camera monitors and technical controls. Jack stays behind to control the flooding and instructs the players to fetch the Red Key from Smith to unlock the Lifeboats.

The players then head up to the Captain's Cabin. Smith allows the players to take the Red Key if only to allow him to stay with the sinking ship. The players must vote on the outcome of the first Endgame to either take the Red Key or the Golden Necklace. If the player unlocked cabin 100 using the Green Keycard, it will initiate the Secret Ending.

If they take the Red Key, the players then unlock the Lifeboats, only for Green beard to appear and initiate the Final Battle Challenge, before the players may achieve the Bad Ending.

If they take the Golden Necklace, the Smith chooses to fight the players to death to keep it. After being killed, a player then grabs the necklace, and the group heads to the rudder. The player must then decide the outcome of the second Endgame, between either the Good Ending or the Evil Ending.

Trivia[]

According to Ponchokings in his YouTube video, Cruise is set after Airplane 2 and before Airplane 4: One Last Flight.
The Carnival Cruise may be a reference to the main setting of the 1997 film, Titanic, and the cruise's captain is named after Captain Edward John Smith.
Jack, the deuteragonist of this game, is named after the protagonist of Titanic, Jack Dawson, which also alludes to the Carnival Cruise being based on the ship.
