The rules apply slightly differently to the ship or to passengers. For the ship's store of alcohol to serve in their restaurants and bars, they will have limits typically based on the number of people aboard.
There could be many sources of rules for bringing alcohol aboard.
(1) The nation where the ship is registered may have laws that the passenger vessel must operate under.
(2) The company that owns the vessel may have policies in place.
(3) The visiting nations will have laws about bringing alcohol into their waters.
(4) Within the constraints of the first three, the captain's word is law on board. Even if the above three say it's alright, the master of the vessel can prohibit passengers bringing alcohol aboard.
If you are allowed to bring your own wine aboard as a passenger, it will likely be no more than 1-2 bottles. It's best to check with the cruise ship company to clarify. (Tobacco also)
There are quite a few restrictions on certain cruise ships, and quite a few benefits on others when bringing children on board. I found this blog on a cruise website recently when I was researching the same question, and found out detail on each cruise line! Very Helpful!

The ships are built in drydocks which can be flooded to float the ships out.

No. When you board a Disney Cruise Ship, everyone gathers into the auditorium for a safety lesson similar to the ones on airplanes.
Which ship? Or do you mean the total of all the cruise ships in the world?
I don't know that any cruise ships have permanent dialysis units on board. However a group call Dialysis at Sea (see related link) does offer select cruises that will allow patients that need dialysis to take a cruise.
The sizes vary from small ships to large ships, though the size of ships ranges from 2074-6360 passengers, though specific tonnage and capacities can be found on wikipedia.

Look for "Friends of Bill" on the activities bulletin board, or ask a crew member. All cruise ships have meetings.
