i've only ever been on one cruise on a large ship, and it's pretty much like being on land. i spent 5 days on a live-a-board scuba/snorkeling boat, and it was a little hard to get used to, but you do get used to it. and then, there is the boats from ko phi phi to ko lipe (Southern Thailand). normally not bad at all. but one time last year heading from lipe to phi phi, we hit a massive storm. boat as usual overcrowded, meant for 50 people, stuffed in 100. barely any life jackets, my girl got one (well, i got it for her), my cousin and are both really good swimmers, so we went out on deck once the waves were crashing right over the hull and windows. we were pretty much really to bail out and take our chances. everyone was screaming and crying, we were just focused on survival. the boat somehow managed to limp into a little natural cove, and it was all good lol.
