The opening narration of volume 1 said that Grimm attack people and the things that people build. Negative emotions just attract them even more.

In World of Remnant: Vale, Qrow implies that aquatic Grimm are a thing: "Its front is protected by steep mountains, and its back is against waters too shallow for any real threat to pop out of. Not to say I haven’t heard some crazy fish stories." If I had to guess, Salem wanted there to be types of Grimm for everything - land, air, underground, and water.

So, the ship has to defend itself somehow, just in case any Grimm do try to attack it.

As for Weiss and Blake...

Weiss' family is rich, and Yang said that Jacques actually showed up to get Weiss. We saw that Weiss and Jacques were in an airship together, though it looked more like an airplane. Maybe Jacques took a private airship/jet to pick Weiss up personally.

Blake, meanwhile, may have traveled on foot to whatever dock she boarded the ocean liner from, and one ticket likely costs less than four. That said, RNJR probably did the same thing Blake did: Travel on foot until they got to a dock where they boarded a ship. Though, they may have gone to a different dock than she did.
