Ships at sea would barely notice a tsunami--since most of the force moves deep along the ocean bottom, on the surface it only passes as a ripple, maybe one foot high. This is not to be confused with a "rogue wave."

When the tsunami reaches the shallow waters of a coastline is when it becomes apparent.

At the time the waves hit Japan any cruise vessels would likely have been in port. Any idea whether or not any ships were docked in the region?

QM2 has passed Nagasaki.

This is unlikely to become clear for tsunami warning.
Consideration for the safety of other vessels in harbor.
