The Raptor has 2200 kN thrust for the vacuum version, and is "only"
throttle-able to 40% of that.

But the steel cruise ship weights a lot so needs more fuel/thrust to
land and then take off, and more fuel = more weight. Add to that the
elevator, freight elevator and escalators needed from the top of the
Starship to moon ground :-)

On Earth (6x the lunar gravity), 1 Raptor is able to lift a substantial
portion of that mass. It doesn't get up to lunar escape velocity down
here, but I think you overestimate the stainless penalty in the lunar
environment.
