So if I go on an ocean cruise I'm a Sailor?

  The analogy is tough because as far as I know there isn't an official definition of what a sailor is. Nor is there an internationally recognized registry like the "Fédération Aéronautique Internationale" which keeps track of people it considers Astronauts/Cosmonauts/Taiknonauts, etc.

    There is an official definition of what a seaman/sailor is. Admiralty law is a thing [1][2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaman_status_in_United_States_admiralty_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaman_status_in_United_States...

  It seems like you can clearly delineate, by whether you are being paid to be there, or you are paying to be there.
