No life support so gets double cabins.
No computers or radios. Uses heliographs.
Lacks automation so workstations increased by 3 But HT13
Nautical lines to account for balloons' massive surface area.
Top Deck
Assuming endurance similar to fuel cells but at 1/50th the output leads to a maximum time of 51 hours leading to a maximum range of 882 miles between refueling.
100 cabins may seem like a lot but this thing lacks the automation to pilot itself during the night, so 8 hour shifts for everyone.

Total Workstation 33 Control Crew 6

$36.95 Million plus Plane Prop Cost, undetermined 8/9 system, and consumables
