Not your usual newbie question. How is the night sky aboard ships?

Giving IMU CET in 5 days.
I was just wondering, I LOVE astronomy.
But dark skies mean on the mainland there are very few places where I can see the sky at night basking in starlight.

And merchant ships travel far from civilization (still on routes, but like much less light pollution I presume)

So sailors share your wisdom, do you see a sky full of stars at night or somehow its just like mainland with barely 20-30 stars max?

I am sorry this next one might be considered a rookie question so please ignore it if you want, how much time will one have to themselves for recreation/relaxation on a ship? i assume it varies wildly. I know the work is super draining mentally and physically so.
