Engineering Innovation: Lengthening a Cruise Ship to Meet Growing Demand

The video discusses the high demand for cruises and the lengthy process of building new ships. To address this, Royal Caribbean's Netherlands branch implemented an engineering solution for the Enchantment of the Seas by lengthening the ship. This involved cutting the ship in half, moving the keel along Teflon rails, and inserting a new section. The process took three hours to move the ship and will take 12 to 15 days to weld it back together. The modification increases cabin space and passenger capacity.
