Extension of Balmoral cruise ship

Balmoral, formerly the Crown Odyssey and Norwegian Crown, is a cruise ship owned and operated by Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, built in 1988 and lengthened in 2007-08 at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg.

The work included the insertion of a 30 meter (99 ft) midsection, built in conjunction with Schichau Seebeckwerft in Bremerhaven, and floated into Hamburg at the end of October 2007.

The reconstruction added a further 186 passenger and 53 crew cabins, making the ship currently the company's largest. It also introduced 60 new balconies, along with new and modified public areas.

Reminded me of the extension work I've done with massive buildings in (creative mode) minecraft. Same thing, really, except that I saved one half of the building, deleted it, and then stamped the pre-constructed extension in its place. Followed by stamping the deleted part onto the end.

With legos, wouldn't you have blocks overlapping each in order to create structural stability? (Like when constructing a brickwall.) Unless you're cutting through the overlapping pieces with a saw or something, isn't this process more complex?

Ah, an easy engineering feat. I've done this many times myself with a lego set.

I can't buy that. It comes in, seemingly in the evening. Then gets drained in what seems to be morning, work commences on the ship itself where it's split (during daylight)

The new part of the ship is then installed during the evening again, and even IF that was just somehow clever editing, the painting alone takes at least 4 days.

Amazingly, the time lapse seen is the span of a single 10 hour night.

Sorry Sheppard, was joking.
