The game is passable though crass in places. Example: The woman greets the male exchange student with "How's it hanging?" REALLY?????? What woman has ever said this when greeting a man, much less a total stranger???? What the heck were the developers thinking?
Other than that this game is a very lame attempt to copy the top quality lavish Vacation Adventures games. It fails miserably.
I don't recommend this game.
Dig into these brain-teasing match-3 challenges! Match crystals of the same color - the more items you collect, the bigger the explosion!

I bought it hoping this would be another or the fun dig the ground games. Nope. This one is sea critters and water. Little challenge. Quickly becomes boring.
I don't recommend this game.

Yes, there are repeated features, same layouts, same colors from game to game. But, goodness sakes, what game isn't repetitive? Has there ever been an HOP game in which the mail box wasn't locked, or a zipper broke when touched?
I will continue buying every new ClearIt because I know I will enjoy the entire game.
I recommend this game!
Complete unique and colorful matching puzzles with multiple levels of complexity.

There is always some thing new added, which keeps it fun. I enjoy the continuing challenge of each version of ClearIt and have purchased each one including this version.
I recommend this game!

... and doughnuts, and pizzas. Too many of the same type items makes this game too boring to purchase. And that's from a woman who usually enjoys clutter games. This one is too boring.
I don't recommend this game.

I'll second what she said. This game is different from the same ol' boring fare offered for far too long.
I struggled with the small screen and determined that to be a no buy decider. Then, by simply clicking on full screen option, after reopening the game for the 3rd or 4th time, got a full screen. Would have been nice if they had fixed that feature before releasing or had given instructions on it at the beginning.
The Gamma slider (wish every game had this feature) works the opposite of the slider in Elephant games. Sliding all the way to the left provides the lightest screen. Perfect for my dark monitor.
I'm buying this game for all the reasons Pennmom mentioned. Hooray, for creativity!!!

As others have said the game is too dark and items are too tiny to be seen. There was so much junk in the scene I wanted to break out a broom, dustpan, and trash can. I lasted through the first scene than was done. Terrible game!
I don't recommend this game.
Reprise your role as Cruise Director and enjoy a worldwide cruise of a lifetime while finding hidden objects and completing clever mini games.

Not happy with "Collector's Edition" which offered no new content.

Like others, I love these games and immediately purchase them. However, I expected extra scenes or puzzles since it was labeled as a Collector's Edition. Nope, the "Collector's Edition" option is to simply to replay the game in extreme mode. I do not play any timed games ever! I'm irked that I paid extra money for an option that I do not like and will not play.
I recommend this game!

I do NOT play games with limited moves, period. There is absolutely no reason to put this restriction on any game unless other choices are offered. 2 big thumbs down on this game.
I don't recommend this game.
