I can't imagine OSHA would approve this
One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

What about 50 of them? Or perhaps some number between those two numbers, inclusively?
Depends, are the passengers permitted to bring assault-style rifles with high-capacity magazines?

I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could willingly boars one of those monstrosities
It's not just willingly, people pay an exorbitant amount for the "privilege"...

That's cool as hell and I'd love to get on it tbh.

That looks to me like a drawing by the design/architecture team, but there is a real boat like that and it's a pretty close match for the design. Here's a video with drone footage from the launch; 1:39 you can see a view kinda similar to the drawing.

I'm familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.
Most of the weight is at the bottom and you have to have the center of mass go outside of the base to tip over.

In the sense that something designed to carry 8,000lbs can probably actually handle 10,000lbs? Or in the sense that if they both died insurance would still pay out?
The floats are EZDocks, each with a carrying capacity of 3,000lbs, total capacity is 12,000lbs.
The lift is a JLG 3246es, which has a weight of less than 5,000lbs.

Given that's now my field, why haven't I started that comm?! I'll get on it.

Okay, you go on and test it for us then

I have done way sketchier shit than that. That is like a 4/10.

Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.
It just isn't worth the risk. A scaffold could be built in ~30 minutes ( an hour tops) with almost no risk at all. I've worked at a facility with many tanks of water over 90k gallons each and we never would have pulled a stunt like that. Most had a permanent catwalk to service utilities above like lighting and plumbing.

Apart from the terrible environmental effects, they're a blast. I'm not in for slides and shit, but the full experience is generally really enjoyable. If you like to travel, it's also a good way to trial destinations before committing to a long vacation somewhere.
Trial what destinations exactly? Arrive at Island port. Hecklers everywhere. Arrive at next Island. More hecklers. Rinse and repeat.
"Damn, I had a blast!"
I'm telling you, a Euro-trip on rail will net you more adventure and better pacing with vastly more interesting destination. Possibly even comfort, if you take sleeper trains.
I'm hoping they'll ban these cruise ships from the Mediterranean altogether.

Cruises would be pretty interesting if once out at sea they released 30 wild boar.
They'd probably drown fairly quickly though. Unless they were Saltwater Boar.

What you explained is what I'd expect someone who's never been on a cruise before to describe a cruise. Sure, there's hecklers at the port immediately off the boat. Walk out of that area and it goes away, like every tourist destination.
Most cruise stops that I've been on have been around 8 hours, which is ample time to experience a bit of a location. I have only been on two cruises, so I'm by no means a seasoned traveler.
Unfortunately, the Caribbean doesn't have a rail system between the islands, so boating is the main option. While most cruises aren't luxury, and to get a suite is $$$, they are comfortable rides, almost assuredly more comfortable than a train, barring rough seas, which I've experienced once, and it wasn't that bad. They are slower than trains, but they have a dozen floors, 100 bars, pools, live entertainment, and a plethora of other things. I have enjoyed some of my at seas days more than some stops. Finally, vastly more interesting destinations is extremely subjective. There are cruises that go all over the world, so the number and choices of destinations is huge.
I'm not going to argue you least point. Like I first mentioned, they're terrible for the environment. All of my words above are just in response to, "why would anyone get one one of these", not to defend the existence of cruises.

It’s all about the attitude you have going into the trip, my friend. There will be hecklers wherever you go, if you set your mind to look for them.
