A cruise-ship really? What do you think powers those diesel engines? What powers combustion engines in general? It's not that easy to look and drill for oil okay? So... you know.

100m people appearing in the Indian Ocean in our world that needed food imports would cause some problems due to supply shock & it would take to shift food shipments and ramp up new food production(likely, we'd have to treat it like a country had their infrastructure wiped out by a tsunami or such), but I bet our world would manage somewhat okay for them and our existing supply needs (a sudden ~1.5% increase in worldwide population)...

But a medieval/renaissance tech world would have massive problems ramping up food production to support having a sudden 20+% increase in worldwide population needing food from the nearby nations (1500s Earth had ~500m people worldwide; comparatively, we would certainly have a problem with 1.5b people showing up suddenly). Japan would probably have more people than all the nations around them combined. You can't just double agricultural production in a week.
