Great Lakes Cruises - Why a Cruise Vacation is Better Than a Land Tour
There are several reasons to select a cruise vacation over another tour.
First, Great Lakes cruises offer a whole different way to see the United States. Imagine arriving in a different port every day. A different place to shop, a different place to golf. And you never have worries about getting a hotel room, you bring it right with you along with your very own restaurant. These ports reflect the culture of the Midwest Lakes region and range from small fishing villages to modern metropolitan port complexes. The Great Lakes are marvelous remnant of the last ice age, with a shore line that ranges from relatively flat to rugged and mountainous. The water, air and shore are alive with wildlife and for the entire cruise, passengers are within United States or Canadian owned waters.
Second, Lakes cruises offer the budget conscious an opportunity to save. With a Lakes cruise, you know in advance what your cost will be. There are no unexpected car repairs to pay for on the road, no worries about finding parking or getting lost on the way through a strange place. Best of all, there are no traffic jams, none of those "orange cone zone" areas that north country road crews are famous for. Just the combined delays from waiting in queue for traffic to move at several of these stops can eat up a major portion of your trip. On a cruise, you leave all that behind when you board ship. No worries about reservations, meals or itinerary. It is all handled for you.
And, third, the ships that ply the Lakes are smaller than their seagoing cousins and usually carry less than 100 passengers. So, you often have the chance to get to know the crew by name. Some, like the Great Lakes cruise ship Clelia II are like living in a luxury hotel that magically moves from town to town and carries you to the best attractions the area has to offer. Others, like the tall ship Manitou provide a link to the past. Second, lakes cruises are generally less pricey than their ocean going kin. This is generally due to the shorter cruise times.
All told, there are dozens of companies offering Great Lakes cruises. These range from simple dinner cruises around one of the bays to major, week long excursions. Don't think that a lakes cruise will always be a simple little trip on a simple little boat, either. Some of these trips cover as much distance as a trip across the Atlantic and ships like the Clelia II are state of the art.
When you consider a luxury cruise for your vacation, consider one on the Great Lakes. The offerings are wide and the trips fantastic, whether you are looking for an outright luxury cruise or a simple day cruise around the harbor.

What is the Theme/message of this poem called WINTER TIME by ROBERT LEWIS STEVENSON
Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.
Before the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark I rise;
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the cold candle, bathe and dress.
Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
The colder countries round the door.
When to go out, my nurse doth wrap
Me in my comforter and cap;
The cold wind burns my face, and blows
Its frosty pepper up my nose.
Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake,
Are frosted like a wedding cake
I need to find the theme because i need to know the theme for this poem dissucsion
The theme of the poem is how when it is very cold outside, being outside is less fun:
The cold wind burns my face, and blows
Its frosty pepper up my nose.
but being indoors is even more fun:
Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
