This seems like something that would be super fun at first, then it would just be a pain in the ass after the novelty wore off.
Let me put it that way: me father was a seafarer for seven years, and he never got rid of his sea sickness. My guess is, the novelty wears off pretty fast, especially if you're constantly working below deck.
Still funny af too watch though. :-D
Longest I've been on a ship is maybe a week, but it took about that long for the feeling being at sea to go away. This was a huge ship in fortunate weather too, so I never really got thrown around much; Despite that, it was still very strange stepping back on land, especially at first. I can't imagine what it'd be like after months or longer.
