A cruise ship is basically a floating hotel. Depending on the severity of the storm, the crew probably did not want to be dealing with a significant number of sea-sick guests.
It used to be possible to take a berth on a cargo ship to/from Liverpool from/to Halifax. The modern equivalent is a ride on a container ship [1]. They will still avoid really bad storms but you are more likely to see some seas around autumn.

- lolc 8y agoI did a short container trip and it was great. We did get to see the engine too! As with any ship: Bring lots of books.
- keithpeter 8y agoThanks for commenting. I was looking at one of the European multi-port trips myself.
- lolc 8y agoI did a feeder-ship from Rotterdam. While it was interesting to see the logistics and tight schedules, next time I would skip a run and stay at the destination for more than the day it took them to exchange containers.
