Cruise ships are based on practical technology though. If the only use for cruise ships was leisure then it wouldn't be economic to develop them. Airship technology never really got anywhere and it's certainly never became commercially used, so putting in the money to develop it for recreation just doesn't make sense.

I see your point, but Cruise ships have significantly diverged technologically from any "practical" ships some time ago. Also, recreation for recreation's sake is and always has been a driver of technological progress.
