Yeah I cannot imagine the attraction. It's almost literally one of the last things I'd ever want to spend vacation time on.

I talked to a guy who took a week-long cruise that he described as being locked in a prison breathing diesel exhaust. He said there was no place on the ship were you could not smell the exhaust.

He was greatly exaggerating or has an incredibly sensitive nose

When they shut down Wharf 8 in sydney, where I was working, they moved the ships to a temporary location without an onshore power connection for the ships.

Diesel exhaust fume complaints came from suburbs around the wharf.

My issue wasnt the exhaust it was rotten food / human waste smell.

Also the ship I was on used seacreatures instead of level numbers. Felt like walking around an app designed with security by obscurity.

That is terrible and as someone that likes cruises (but only rarely goes on a cruise) you can safely assume that folks who like cruising and go often do not put up with rotten food or the smell of shit. Decent food and reasonably clean spaces are part of the appeal, in fact.
