It depends on the offense. Ultimately, the captain has first and last word of what happens to you if arrested at sea; however, he will be answerable to his actions when he returns to land.
Almost every cruise ship has a brig, or ship "jail" in which a person may be kept until he or she can be turned in to the proper authorities. If the offender is considered a continued danger to passengers, the captain may elect to give custody to the authorities in the next port -- no matter what country you land in. From there you may be extradited to your country of orgin, or the country may decide to prosecute you there.
For less serious offenses, the captain may choose to either detain you in the brig for the remainder of the voyage, allow you to pay a fine, or restrict you from leaving the ship until you can be turned over to the authorities in your country of origin.
