Sounds like you understand, at least. Glad you're able to pull it off.
Still spend my days in 'metro' mode, so the opportunity to go 'cocoon mode' isn't all that common. Doesn't just shut down for a week or two of cruising, though of all the environments, a cruise ship would be one that would really justify it. Not always so with certain port stops, though, since we like to get off the tourist track and actually experience many destinations.
