When loaded with crew, passengers, and all they need, the center of gravity has to be below the waterline, provided the line is painted at the right level. Otherwise, the ship will flip over. With such a huge superstructure, I have always wondered how they achieve that.
Look at the generators, motors, RO systems, food and waste storage systems, stabilizers and fuel compartments for a city, all below the water line.
All propelled by electric pods that rotate 360 degrees.
Pretty amazing stuff!
I read somewhere it is cheaper to live on one of these year round than here on land! lol
