Hi James,
A cruise ship with conventional screws and rudder would be an oddity today. Cruise ships have gone to azimuth drives as an economy measure to operate without the need for tugs.
Just because the kiddies want modern cruise ships, but are not willing to develop the skill to handle them, is no reason for VSTEP to go to the expense of catering to their whims.
From the complaints about handling OS, and the lack of many good missions created for her, it seems that the devotees of cruise ships are more interested in looking at them, and walking about their decks, than in actually operating them.
Regards,
Marty
