I was actually going to ask whether you worked for a travel company because you've sold the holiday to me! When are we off? You really captured the thrill and escapism of that cruise and now I feel trapped and depressed that I might not be able to go:) Well done, Barry! Debbie

Lol. Well, the boat has already left the dock, but I am sure we can find another one. Thanks for the review. Cruising is good for sure. Take care and keep on writing. You too can imagine a fabulous trip. I like to combine all forms of transport if possible.
Cheers

Comment from Yusita
This was clever... the way you described such a fascinating experience only to take an unexpected turn and tell us it was but the result of dreaming! Lovely work.

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
That was delightful and then funny. I enjoyed the twist. Your trip was much, much cheaper. No one is hogging the chowline. No boring couple wants you to meet "Madge". She is so sweet, ignore the wandering eye. :-) Karen

Yes, imaginary trips are so much cheaper. Can even have a cocktail while you write. Hope you are well. See you got a special mention in the last story competition. Looks like you had the better twist Lol

Heck, I didn't even know that there were honorable mentions. I got $5 Wow! We can run away to Monte Carlo now. I think they had a lot of good ones and didn't know what to do. Your twist was just fine. I was quieter maybe. Mine tend to draw a little blood. I like how you write, to heck with others. :-) Karen

lol. Yes ,the world is our oyster.What we could do with $5.00. Oh, I am not worried about the result. I had a lot of great comments and It is a good bet it is going to a magazine. Cross my fingers. Thanks for being a bit of a fan. Not sure when the next one is coming along. I will seek your work out. Take care.
Cheers

Comment from Lisasview
Hi Barry, A few years ago Bob and I went on a river cruise from Amsterdam to Bucharest for 27 days and it was rather amazing... Can not wait to take another river cruise again..
You need to do the real things..although dreaming from a book sounds okay too.

Lisa, thanks for the review. Yes dreaming can be great. Much cheaper than the real thing. However, I do like the idea of the trip you and your husband took. I will investigate. Have a great day.
Cheers

Comment from jenintorre
I really enjoyed this poem. I love cruising, I have been many times and it is just as you describe and in excellent rhyme. I hope your dream will become a reality.
You anre obviously a fellow Brit as your cruise left from Southampton.

Comment from Julie Helms
I went on my first cruise a few years ago, and I think your choice of words really captured the experience of it. You do a great job leading the reader along, until the twist at the end.
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing! Julie

Thanks so much for your review. Glad you enjoyed the read. Since the writing of the poem, I have gone on a cruise or two. Thumbs up from me.

Comment from Paul McFarland
I don't think I'll ever get on one of those boats, but I'm glad that you enjoyed the experience. The older I get, the more I just want to stay home.

Yes, I do get more that feeling myself. Nothing better than being at home. I must admit though that the food on the cruises is quite exceptional. Well, that is what I have found. Thanks for the review. Take care and have a wonderful day.
Cheers
Barry.

Sometimes our very own imagination with the joy of reading and writing can take us anywhere and back. Been on three day cruises but I'm not the ship voyaging type. I enjoyed trip you just let me experience Thank you for Sharing this experience.
