Good idea here (vacation on a cruise ship?) but the details are too remote to connect me to a feeling of letting go. I'd rather be focused on one person in a lounge chair that trying to take in the whole scene.

This composition needs more people present, particularly in the foreground, to make it more pertinent and interesting.

something about this... you use unsharp mask? what makes me ask is the coloration of the water... you'll get that shading effect with unsharp mask.. i haven't decided what i really think of it.

looks like a holliday snapshot. No clear point of interest.

Hi greetings from the CC, i find this challenge very hard to critique to be honest, because they are asking us to shoot something of no aesthetic value IMO, which I think you have done well in terms of subject it is tacky. I find the composition a little too central to be interesting using the 1/3 2/3 rule would probably help compostionally, perhaps moving the subject over to the right a little. The lighting is also a little too reflective IMO finding something that is slightly more indirect may have helped, tho it does have that christmas tree glow to it. i agree also with the comments below, shot would have been better without the added border. It is a clear in focused shot tho, good job for a tough topic to make look good.

Very crisp shot with nice focus - and preeeety tacky too. Well done ( although blue border is too heavy).
