Cruise Line Tycoon V1.22.0 — Advanced Paint & Summer Items

V1.22.0 is the latest highlighted Alpha release for Cruise Line Tycoon from Quality Studios—the Roblox ship builder distinct from Cruise Ship Tycoon. This patch pushes advanced paint tooling further and adds more summer items captains can place along guest promenades. It builds on structural groundwork laid in V1.20 and V1.21, which overhauled modular structures, modular bar pieces, and early summer décor. Read this page after scanning the Updates hub when you log in post-patch.

Headline changes in V1.22.0

Advanced paint expansion. Finer color control for hull accents, interior walls, and brand themes—useful when screenshotting Somnio Class (~6,775 tiles) or theming Imperial Class decks before Barcelona shipyard runs. Advanced paint rewards layouts that already function; it rarely rescues ships missing toilets or food.

More summer items. Additional seasonal décor—lounges, plants, beach accents—boost decoration scores when placed on loops guests walk between cabins and amenities. Scatter items on main promenades, not dead-end observation decks nobody visits.

Pair cosmetic additions with the dedicated Paint and Customize guide for workflow order: structure lock first, palette second.

Context from V1.20 and V1.21

Before V1.22.0, captains saw a structures overhaul introducing modular bar assembly and refined placement rules. V1.21 continued summer item drops and quality-of-life building tweaks tied to modular pieces.

If you skipped those patches:

• Read Modular Structures before repainting bars you cannot refund cheaply.
• Retest guest pathing around modular corners—collision fixes often ship across multiple Alpha versions.
• Verify G, F, and R behavior on new item classes from Controls.

Structures and paint patches stack: modular bars from V1.20/V1.21 are the canvas V1.22.0 colors.

What to retest after updating

Run this captain checklist within one session of installing V1.22.0:

1. Decoration baseline — Apply advanced paint to a removable test section; sail Qanaveral → Nassau and compare rating movement via the Rating Checklist.
2. Summer item placement — Confirm new décor pieces rotate with R and refund with F without orphan collision on narrow Somnio Class decks.
3. Performance on large hulls — Dense props on Imperial Class (~35,000 tiles, 13 decks) stress clients; watch frame drops on promenade walks.
4. Food and toilets unchanged — Cosmetics rarely fix starving galleys; audit Restaurants if food rating dips unrelated to paint.
5. Fuel and supplies — Paint sessions should not creep into engine neighborhoods—cross-check Fuel and Supplies after moving décor near tanks.
6. Mission progress — Re-read Missions text; shop-visit objectives like First Class Indulgence are independent of paint but share voyage timing with refit sessions.

Hull-specific notes

Hull	V1.22.0 focus
Starter	One cohesive palette; skip rare summer items until loops work
Somnio Class	Themed promenade plus pool accents after path audit
Aurora Class	Warm interior colors for cold Hailmar and Whitecap Cove routes
Imperial Class	Repeatable deck themes; mirror wings only after single-side proof

Aurora Class buyers using the Hailmar 20% discount should fund propulsion and crew before flagship paint spirals. Nuclear adopters (~20 MW) gain tile flexibility but still need rating redundancy across thirteen decks.

Islands and routes unchanged—but verify

Core island roster remains Qanaveral, Nassau, Seabrook, Palm Key, Northaven, Cozumel, Whitecap Cove, Hailmar, Barcelona, and Maravela. V1.22.0 does not automatically invalidate routes—still compare fuel margins on familiar loops with the Fuel Planner after any patch.

Codes and co-op status

No verified active Codes shipped with V1.22.0 hype threads—ignore generator sites promising free Imperial Class hulls. Co-op remains planned, not released; solo fleets must stay viable. See Roadmap for future intent versus shipped truth on the Updates hub.

Official-first patch literacy

When Discord screenshots conflict with your ship:

1. Observe live Roblox behavior after update.
2. Read Quality Studios posts linked from Links.
3. Match Trello cards to actual changelog lines via the Trello guide.
4. Update personal notes; fan summaries—including this wiki—summarize but do not replace primary sources.

Long-term impact

V1.22.0 is primarily a cosmetic and seasonal patch layered atop V1.20/V1.21 structural tools. Rebuild propulsion or galley decks only if separate notes touch those systems—not because advanced paint launched.

Captains who retest decoration on removable sections outperform captains who repaint entire Imperial Class flagships before confirming food, toilets, and paths still work. Function first, V1.22.0 palette second—and revisit Paint and Customize whenever the next Alpha season drops.
