I think they'd be very desirable. The first cruise ship company to
build one will make a fortune.

The world of venture capital is open to anyone that has a good enough
pitch to make.

If you're convinced that the scheme is feasible, you are free in our
society to go off and try it. That's the great thing about capitalism
-- there are no central planners you have to clear your idea
with. (Another great thing, which most people don't get, is that you
are also free to lose a fortune -- resources don't remain with those
who can't use them effectively, and instead flow to those with
talent demonstrated in the objective sphere of the market.)

These things could also be used for condos, hotels and theme parks
(imagine what Disney could do with this).. The possibilities are
endless.

I suspect the expense is also endless, as well as the potential
financial losses, while the potential for profit is slight and likely
nonexistent, but again, the great thing about our world is you don't
have to convince us that you're right, you can just go out and prove
it and make (or lose) a fortune in the process.

I suggest that if you're really sure this is an idea worth billions,
you should go out and make yourself billions at it. Nothing proves
you're right about what will make money quite like making money.
