a steel cruise ship with 1,000 people on it.
Anything will float if you make it the right shape to push enough water out of
the way when it's in the water.
Floating is a factor of density not weight, a boat is less dense than the water around it. A ballon is less dense than the air around it. Obviously the more a vessel weighs the larger it has to be to keep it's density less than that of the water it is floating in. Exam if enough people climb aboard a small boat the density of the boat + the people comes closer to that of the water and the boat sinks.

Because they weight of the water they displace is more than they weigh themselves. in another way: for something to float the density of the object has to be lesser than the density of the liquid it's submerged into.

What is a heavy float in a carburetor?
The float is heavy because it has leaked and filled partially with gasoline or it has become saturated. If the float is heavy it will not stop the flow of gas into the float chamber at the correct level. This will cause the carburetor to dump a rich mixture into the combustion chamber. The engine will foul the spark plug quickly and use more fuel than expected.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
