Unlock the Port

Requirements:

8 Seafood Salad

6 Starfish Mirrors

8 Caviar Toast

20 Fish Tacos

You now unlock a map of the World where you can trade designated items.

This is an unfinished post.  I am just working this out.

NOTE THAT THE ITEM NEEDED FOR THE THIRD ROW TRADE WILL CHANGE!  IT CAN BE ANY OF THE SPECIAL REWARD ITEMS AT ANY PORT.

Now even Support acknowledged this is confusing.  With only two ports unlocked, simply fill the trades demanded at BOTH ports and the ship will set sail for two hours.  You must fill the demands in order, doing the first row before the second, but the ship can set sail with only the first row filled at both ports.  It is the second row orders, however, that randomly give the special items as rewards thst are required to fill the third row orders.  Note, however, that the third row rewards never are anything special.  They are Seaside aids like Power.  What the third row does give is more Coins thsn the first or second

I do not recommend paying RC for that.  The Port is a slow, long term option in the game.  Do not allow it to stress you out.  If you cannot fill tje orders displayed, you can refresh to change them for a small amount of TC.

You start with New York and Rio de Janeiro unlocked.  By performing the required trade voyages and paying out Maritime Coins, you can unlock Cairo and then...

Rio de Janeiro is unlocked as well as a destination.  You will see three trades possible at each location.   The trades you execute determine your rewards.

The final third row requires special items only obtained through executing second row trades.  Without these items, you can pay RC to complete the order.  The only significant reward from the third row is more Maritime Coins than given by the first two rows.  This is not worth spending RC.  The significant order always is the second row and it only RANDOMLY gives a special item as a reward.

The third row in New York trades required the Bear Soccer Players you earn randomly by filling the second row of Orders in Rio.   Filling my second row New York orders today gave me two Statuette of Liberty.  Claiming the reward from the book gave me 100 Maritime Coins.  Those statues can be used later I expect to complete Orders for another port.  Later, I received 10 of the Bear Soccer Players from Rio.  I was able to use those in New York.  Now, however, the third row in both ports requires the Boomerang from Melbourne.

Support has not explained any of it to my satisfaction, but I will keep on.  The ship will be launched automatically when you activate the destination.

Essentially, the action is as follows:

With two ports and three trades for each, fill as many of the orders as you can at both.  They must be filled in order.  First row, the second, then third.  It is seldom you will have the special items required for the third trade at this point.  Do what you can and the journey will be activated.  It lasts almost 2 hours.  Keep trading and travelling until you can unlock Melbourne.

It really is not worthwhile to pay RC to execute the third trade.

The rest of the ports are unlocked as follows:

Cairo

36 Trade Voyages

9600 Maritime Coins

Shanghai

18 Trade Voyages

4800 Maritime Coins

Melbourne

9 Trade Voyages

2400 Maritime Coins

Bremerhaven

67 Trade Voyages

18000 Maritime Coins

You then have to unlock and furnish cabins by purchasing furniture, a bit like Darryl's House.

Note that in four voyages, I only earned 340 Maritime Coins.  Stupidly, I allowed the tutorial to dictate the expenditure of the Coins given initially.  I now have a Modern Sofa I really do not want!

The reason I write this is to show that the whole business will be a slow process.  I have 4 Voyages and 340 Maritime Coins.  I believe it is not be having them that anything us unlocked but by spending them to unlock a new option.

Unlike Darryl's Adventure, it does not appear that any Rewards have any effect on the main Seaside game apart from giving small rewards in the form of Power and such..

The furnishing of the ship cabins reminds me a little of the Room Renovations activity, except that there is no time limit.

You do need to make the trade items for the first and second row orders in Seaside.
