World Cruise - Revised From This Afternoon

Who wouldn’t want to take a lovely cruise
Over blue waters with all your cares to lose,
Relaxing on the upper deck and dancing every day?
Land ahoy! You get to leave the ship and see great views
During stops of interest along the cruise ship’s way!

Caribbean or European. Any of them can be such fun.
Royally you are treated! You really ought to take one!
Unless you are allergic to the sunshine and the sea,
It’s simply a no-brainer. Travel lounging in the sun!
Start on any coastline ; tour the world extensively.
End up tan and happy with a lasting memory!

I'm definitely enticed. I once priced it -- not so bad.

No world cruise for me Andrea, but I've taken a few shorter ones. I enjoyed them greatly as I enjoyed reading your Acrostic poem.

Nice words. My own seem to have dried up, have just had four weeks off -very busy time- but still not a complete poem. Oh well, that's enough about me. Best of luck in the contest.

This is a very well crafted write my friend! I enjoyed reading the rhyme scheme of this illustrious poem here this morning! It is a fascinating piece, written as though you have been on a cruise! I've never been on one, and don't really have a desire to...I'd get too sea-sick! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!
