By the end of this tutorial you'll have a first-class, five star hotel up and running in no time!

Finished layout:

Your hotel will of course need a reception:



It's the first thing your passengers are going to see before they embark on their long voyage, so it needs to look fabulous!



Make sure to use the living room tileset to give it a warm, comfortable feel. To create the reception desks, use a combination of desks and storage tables to create the counter tops before placing the receptionist chairs. Next, decorate the room with a ♥♥♥♥ ton of holoscreens or house plants, and add a rug or two.

Now onto the most important part of your ship, the cabins themselves. Let's start off with the room corridors, you will want to use the living room tileset and add rugs along the floor to create a carpet so the guests feel at home.



Once your corridors are in place, you want to fill the main section of the ship with as many rooms as possible. It's important to keep a variety of rooms, because some of the dwellers will pay more for the larger cabins and some will come in families or couples.



As you can see here, the main bulk of the hull is taken up by the smallest rooms, which will hold the hordes of peasants and keep them happy.





As a general rule for the small rooms, and the others, they must each have at least one bed,
bathroom (equipped with a shower), dresser and a holoscreen so they can appreciate the magnificent views of space on their journey.





In addition, you must have at least one double-bed room fitted for two couples or individuals.









Having two larger rooms for rich individuals is also a good idea.







Finally, a master bedroom for the wealthiest of them all, or yourself of course.

I lied when I said the most important part of your cruise ship was the cabins....

Because yer always goin' to need a pint or two, or tree, when ye arr alone... out in yeol' space with no'errr to go and no-one to talk to ye, ye need HELlp, YELp me... lad' .. ut . a

so 'ere ye ♥♥♥♥♥♥' go have ye bar:



ye put yersellf some stuf' all over it and make it look ol' pretty and luvely .. an' jubel..y

Nobody likes public bathrooms but they're necessary to completing your cruise ship and it's nice to have a backup in the case of a breakdown.



Make sure to cram in many cubicles, which you can make simply as 1x1 rooms with a door.

To ensure your guests don't get bored during their stay, it's important to have a library to satisfy their reading pleasures.



Fill up your library with archives, computers and desks.

The last room we'll be covering is a nice small holoscreen room in which our guests can relax and enjoy the views of space (the cockpit can just be crammed into the space at the front of the ship).



I also find this room is perfect for contemplating your life decisions, such as spending two hours on a cruise ship that will be devoid of all life for eternity, THEY LIED, THEY'RE NOT HERE. THEY LIED TO ME, THEY LI-
