It's not a cosmetic change honestly, it's actually a system change overall.

Things to do on FFXI's Ferry:

(aside just taking in scenery from city to city)

XIV's airship won't have..anything (confirmed) at initial implementation, so there are indeed important things to do first, but it's not a mere cosmetic change, the ferry is pretty...underutilized and done all around.
