This is a very usual system, it's called offshore.

This is nothing new for Canadians living on Vancouver Island. Several vessels in our car ferry fleet have not only been lengthened in this manner, but have also had an additional deck added vertically.

Well, I wasn't scared at all when I was aboard her. My only complaint was that the food wasn't as good as NCL's.

I'd be scared silly thinking that at any moment the ship will break into two.

It seems clever (the planes too, that RNB mentioned), but wouldn't that be a weak spot in the structure?

I'm sure they've dealt with that. Still, I'd be scared stiff in rough seas.

Not too different from the way the Air Force and Lockheed-Georgia turned C-141A cargo planes into C-141Bs.
