Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines couldn't wait three years for new ships to be built to fill the demand for cruises, so they expanded instead. The ship named Enchantment of the Seas was cut into two pieces and pulled apart!
The ship now has the capacity for 300 additional vacationers. http://wtfurls.com/daily/world-news/588/12-story-cruise-ship-is-cut-in-half -via Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
After that, the construction crew moved the two halves of the ship away from each other, and positioned a huge 73 foot, 2,500 ton section (which contained 151 furnished rooms) between them. Then came the final part – reattaching cables, pipes and everything else – a process that took two weeks.
