No way the very bad gambling offsets a comp'd gourmet charge.
There's been some good rec's on this thread on how to take advantage of ship casino FP offers. Also, Bob Dancer wrote about it last year.
Say the credit oppps amount to $300.
And you can find a 97% play ($5 8/5 JB optimal).
And you have the bankroll to do ~$10K action on high variance.
Slow 300 hands will give you ~90 minutes.
Or you can do the math for $1 6/5 Jacks or Better @95% optimal.

There is no cruise ship casino database. Than there's the question as to whether or not off-shore (but made in Nevada) machines are more likely to be hacked.
Wish there was a database before I got too old to gain 20 pounds in a week so avoid cruises. Not to mention, always made my wallet lighter even with couple hundred $ of comp'd charges.
But I do remember a whole day cruise out of Boston that had $1 10/7/400 Double Bonus 20 years ago :-)
