Get rid of them. Their only value is to create lotz and lotz of unneeded traffic.

Do you use mods ? lf so , please list them here

In your Budget panel you could reduce your boat/ship budget.

A small plaster, but sometimes better than nothing. On my previous map my cruise ships were not as bad as yours, but they were still over regular and bunched and overlapped each other. with 100/100 on one ship and 0/100 or 1/100 on the ship behind it from the same off-map place.

Sadly this gauge affects all shipping and boats; cargo ships, ferries and passenger vessels. Along with many other budget sliders this cross-over is something which is hopefully remedied in CSLII.

I'm not going to bother with cruise ships anymore.

Interesting point of view.

So, do you prefer workshop maps with no ships at all? I've been thinking about that lately, adding no more than one ship path, same with planes, just one.

[WBKotter]

Ship paths do not create ships they are just the paths that all forms of ships follow. If you don't want cruise ships just don't build cruise or passenger terminals. Also I have heard of people building separate local lanes or paths that were not connected to sea lanes. Couldn't say if that works or not. Like I said in my original post here the cruise ship tend to create a steady stream of bumper-to-bumper traffic which can quickly cause major traffic issues so I never build passenger terminals any more. with one exception and that is to feed an isolated island tourist attraction. Even then you have to be careful with placement or the crafty little peckerwoods will transport their selves and their cars over to the mainland.

Maybe I used the wrong term. Anyway, I was talking about incoming/outgoing ships connections, no matter if cargo or cruise.

[WBKotter]

Same Same. Although cargo ships don't produce as many vehicles they are also produced as per terminals meaning if you have no terminals you'll have no cargo ships. Also meaning that the more terminals you have the more ships you'll see. With cargo your export and imports can also effect the number of ships.
Also the number and location of alternate forms of transportation can effect number of ships. If passengers or goods can get to airport or train station quicker than ship terminal they will do so and you will need and have fewer ships.

Yeah, I see your point. Thanks a lot for the explanation, will keep that in mind.

Yes, I do understand your remarks. And although they are intended to OP, I consider them as a good source of information for any other player, present and future.

I see no disrespect on your comments.

When choosing a map I would prefer at least two of each (air and shipping) so I have options, but that isn't my main focus or criteria for map choosing. I just want one that looks nice with minimal extra assets required, preferably none. Fairly flat, mountainous backdrops, nice and interesting shoreline and at least 50% buildable.

I don't care about tourism or commercial. I just want bodies to work in my Industry areas so I can focus on building as much industry as possible and play with the traffic. I like cargo planes, cargo trains, cargo ships and heavy traffic. Minimal public transport, people can walk or drive. I love Snowfall and Industries DLC's. May favourite map to-date is Grimsøy.

Apologies to the OP for drifting off topic.

Thanks for the answer. Also, I apologize with OP for the minor off-topic. However, some interesting things has been said and they may be useful for OP too.

Now, talking about the OP, I would like to know if he was able to fix his problem.

[WBKotter]

Nothing about the ongoing conversation prevented OP from providing useful information or answering BucketBrains request for mod list or asking additional questions if needed.

Actually, they're used to bring the tourists.
Make sure all the tourist hot spots have sufficient public transportation

Have you tried bulldozing the harbour and then replacing it again? Passenger Harbours can do some funky thing when they start messing up.
Replacing the harbour was the only thing that fixed these Pirouetting ships.
