I worked for the cruise ship (US based) for 7 mos. In DS230 Q#30 asks about places you have lived for at least six months. Do I have to put the cruise ship or I can just skip it and put my country of residence?

Did you keep a residence/home during that time? If so, you can probably just put that place down. If not, I definitely would not recommend leaving the City/Town line blank, as it could lead to an RFE. Remember that you can attach additional sheets for continuation or explanation of responses, so you could write "(Please see attached sheet)" or something like that and then write the question number and your explanation of your situation during those dates. Just make sure that you put your name, date of birth, NVC case number, and form number (DS-230) on the attached sheet.
