Yuge difference between hotel & cruise ship.
Cruise ship has Vegas style stage shows every evening, unlimited eating all day and night, dozen bars some with live music for listening or dancing, movies, swimming pools, hot tubs, large casino, tax free shops, all without driving and hassles of parking, all in one place just a few steps away. Best if all, it is safer by orders of magnitude than a hotel room. Strangers can not walk into a ship. And now every passenger is certified fully vaxxed and checked for negative covid test within 48 hours of sailing. Land hotels and restaurants do not have such stringent covid protocols.
On a cruise out to sea but don’t see the sea. Sounds fun...
