If a person who takes airplane trips a lot is called a frequent flier, is a person who takes cruises a lot called a frequent floater?

Lol... In normal conversation, "frequent cruise taker" is what I would use. Your analogy exposes the inaccuracy of someone saying "I'm flying," which really is shorthand for saying, "I'm aboard a plane that's flying..."

Only if you tend to make bad choices in cruise lines.
See "Costa Concordia"

If you do make a bad choice, would folks regard you as "well grounded"?

I believe that term would refer to a bad electrical choice.
