Idled cruise ships anchored offshore to avoid dock and harbor fees. They send security/maintenance staff out on small tender.
Technically, any boat can anchor for free vs marina docking, but typically in the calmer inland waterways and why you will see yachts pulling a dingy behind them (or mounted on deck), but the waterway channels are too shallow, or bridges too low, for a cruise ship.
