How it's used
While 船上 is perfectly understandable, native speakers often prefer using 喺船度 or 喺船上面 to describe being physically located on a vessel. Using 船上 can sometimes sound slightly more formal or descriptive, similar to how one might use 'aboard' in English. It is frequently used in written contexts or when emphasizing the specific location relative to the ship.
