There were a couple of alleged Legionnaire's Disease cases a ways back. Maybe the Purell is in response to that?
I thought the USS Poseidon and Titanic were out of service.
Many have gotten ill, non motion related, so the cuise companies have hand sanitizer throughout the ship.

Who knows what goes through a comedians head, anyway?
I thought maybe you were just channeling the deadpan humor of Steven Wright.

The seas would have to be really rough. The only time I have ever experience this type of atmosphere is when I went on a casino cruise on Sterling Casinos. It was a 5 story boat and about 1/5 the size of a normal cruise ship. I have been on several large ones...Carnival and Royal Caribbean and never had this issue. Went through some sizable storms and barely knew it. You will be just fine.
