Not a very good one.
Hydrogen density is too low, there is more hydrogen in things like ammonia or methanol. All of these are potential solutions to fossil bunk fuel or LNG, but all have issues and there is no clear winner yet.

Would this be a viable option for cruise or cargo ships as well?

The only real green option for oceangoing cargo ships at the moment would be nuclear plants. Since small nuclear plants generally require highly enriched uranium suitable to making bombs, I don't foresee it being an option, however.

Nuclear cargos exist. Or at least existed. URSS then Russia had one for reach a port in the north. It was an ice-breaker.

Idk how expensive these reactors are tho. The US Navy operates dozens in their fleet between CVNs and SSBNs, but that dwarfs the rest of the world.

Or back to wind.
