#The cruise ship model doesn't fit the feel of Nicolet Bay?

The vanilla model of the cruise ship is kinda bad, and it just stands out even more in the setting of Nicolet Bay.

A gigantic deep ocean going "Carnival cruises" style ship that looks like it holds 5000+ passengers and crew, on the Great Lakes? Going to a town of maybe 1000 people?? (Like yes, there are some cargo ships that make the routes through the Great Lakes but they're built differently than a cruise ship)

Not to mention the ship actually only has a capacity of 100 (classic weird design choice)

I think it would be a prime candidate for having it's model changed out for something more appropriate for and to scale with Nicolet Bay.

Or am I overthinking it ?

#

I've also been sifting through the Workshop trying to find a replacement for it (instead of just being a lazy armchair critic), but I can't even tell if the ones I've found so far are of a more reasonable size!

I think CPP is trying to keep most of the assets vanilla, so it’s easy for others to play along, without having the RAM eating 1000’s of assets like CWC would have

We are actually starting to see cruise ships doing Great Lakes tours in the last couple years, at least out to superior west.
Granted they aren’t quite the size of some of the ocean going ships, it isn’t really all that out of place

#

This one is supposed to do multiple runs between Milwaukee and Thunder Bay I believe

The one that is a bit more out of place is the container ships...those should 100% be [slightly] smaller bulk cargo freighters...but finding a Great Lakes freighter on the Workshop is an impossible task...I am really trying to see if I can find something even remotely close...

Need something like the Boblo Island boat.

These look more appropriate

#

A plopable version too

#

Maybe?

#

But dang, no one in the steam workshop actually cares about the cruise ship. Pickings are slim to none

not sure if there's one on the workshop but jet express passenger catamaran would be cool
