I think it's a neat idea. People go on cruises... why not this?

I wouldn't be surprised if this idea really gains some attention. It’s new and seems like it would be cost efficient. But as stated above it may have some
safety issues and also it would be an easy target for terrorism.

Anything is a target for terrorism... I'd be much more concerned about how such a craft would survive storms/severe weather. It's not like you can just land and tie something that big down... but then again they somehow managed to do it with the blimps/dirigibles of old...
