Finding this ‘ship’ (or a perhaps a similar one)
https://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/ships/gp-regal-princess/
docking in my home port of Gothenburg indignantly inspired this verse:

Those cruise ships ascensive
intrusions ostensive:

Floating (so over the top)
huge high rise city blocks
propelled by huge churning prop:
Cruising crescendo rocks!

Railed clueless passengers
grinning & gawking
they’re tourism’s scavengers
while locals mocking

Ship of schlock
please don’t dock!

railed = here: lined up along the ship’s rail
