Would someone who needs kidney dialysis still be able to take ship cruises? is that doable?

If the cruise ship has facilities for dialysis or if patient is on peritoneal dialysis then yes. It also depends on how frequently person needs dialysis.

Yes, it is doable. Most major ocean liners offer both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis services.
