Unless you are in the middle of a storm or really rough seas, large cruise ships are so stable that no specific techniques need to be used beyond turning on Image Stabilization. The only thing to watch out for is vibration from machinery if you are using either a tripod or monopod. This would be a case when using IS with a tripod might be worth a try.

If you're talking about a 20-40 footer that is under way, you're going to get a lot of motion no matter how calm the waters. In those cases I use a wider lens so that I can crop and straighten in pp and a faster shutter speed to reduce shake. Oh yes, I also keep the camera on the strap (Black Rapid) so there's no chance of dropping it overboard unless it's following me down.
If you are asking about a ship like a cruise ship, then no special adjustment is necessary unless you're in particularly rough waters.

I've got a 24ft deck boat that I shoot from on occasion. I try to stand as near the center as possible with a wide stance, hand hold and use as fast a shutter speed as practical which might mean using a higher ISO than you sometimes would like. since I'm most often alone when I'm shooting this means operating the boat at the same time or drifting which is usually more bouncy than when underway. Holding your breath when shooting removes one other element of motion. My favorite boat to shoot from when I'm stalking wildlife is a Harry homegrown that allows me to keep both hands free most of the time.

No, none were HDR. Just long exposure. I dont care for HDR really, unless the subject barks out for it. I havent done an HDR in a long time.

I just looked, and I really don't recall using HDR on any of these.
I do recall wanting to, for the Schooner Bar, but i found that my shot i took was better than my output through HDR (which i DID try)
This file I posted needs some POP! looks grey, like a RAW file.
Hmm.

You'll want a wide angle lens for interior shots.
