There are a number of problems with the assumptions made
1. Cabins dedicated to cast member rates are very limited. I don't know there would be 100. Let alone 100 who knew each other and want to hang out together. After all there are disney employees from their many divisions all over the world, including retirees vying for those cabins.
2. The cast members I've known were taking family on a cruise not going on a cruise to party with other cast members
3. Cast members and their guests are under scrutiny even if not working.
4. I've heard some cast members prefer to book as regular passengers because as a cast member they don't get treated quite as well as other passengers. So getting all the good tables and reservations doesnt fit what ive heard. Not a common complaint but some.. On the other hand there is immediate connection when they discover a cast member. Plus you never know that person could end up as your boss someday. So there is friendliness but out of line partying I'm not sure about.
5. Assuming a group of young people are cast members is a mistake. Our 4 kids 8 to 15 years old are all platinum and know the ships well.
6. I agree a sign of a cast member is constantly winning at trivia.
7. I have never encountered a cast member who was disrespectful to other guests while on Disney property even if they weren't working. But I have encountered a lot of guests....well...
The Op may be right. IDK, but it hasn't been my experience.
