Not sure how long this took but time lapse makes it look easy. Makes me think a frame swap / extended cab / 2 tone paint job this weekend should be easy enough..

What is in the new section? I thought at first it was a vid of a re-powering I saw on World's Toughest Fixes.

Wikipedia says they inserted a 30 meter section.
Reconstruction[edit]
Fred. Olsen took delivery of the ship on 7 November 2007, renaming her after the Balmoral estate. The company initiated a major refit at the Blohm + Voss repair shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, before her inaugural cruise on 13 February 2008, to Florida—her base for Caribbean cruising. 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.[7][8]
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, all designed to appeal particularly to the British cruise market.[7][9][10]
