This was discussed in DN community a lot. Cruise ships are useless for slow internet.
Cruise ships are slowly being outfitted with high speed spot beam internet access. A friend working on RCCL's Quantum Of The Seas can pull 50-60Mbps off hours.

The internet on cruise ships are super slow and very expensive. So I don't know how to programming on the cruise ship would work if you are connecting to a server.

The free food, balcony, and exploring the ports were my favorite parts. I don't drink, or party, so that wasn't part of the fun for me -- but it seemed like most of the other people on the ship were there for that reason.
The only thing that I didn't like were the people on the ship, and I felt bad at how lowly paid the crew were.
