Nieuw Amsterdam drydock results?

My family just finished our cruise on NA from Jan 6 to 13.  BB King has been officially rebranded as Rolling Stone Lounge.  Billboard on Board is not a room, but an area off the hallway, without any wall,  right across from the casino, which doesn't have any wall either. They use the area for trivia during the day, but the noise from the casino makes it hard to hear.  At night, when the pianos are going on at BOB and the slot machines are going full throttle, it's not a pleasant place to be for your ears.

 

Also, during our week, the ship was plagued with bad odors.  Something must have gone wrong with a broken pipe or something.  Deck 2 and 3 midship had a strong sewage (human waste) smell.  The carpet in the hallway was stained and the maintenance crew were there everyday.  Outside, on the walking track around the ship on Deck 3, at a certain section, there was a strong smell of garbage (spoiled food). Same smell at a certain spot on Deck 10/11.

We spent 2 weeks on NA after the dry dock.  There is new carpet in many locations but it’s getting ruined by the numerous water leaks all over the ship.  Morimotos is new and our dinner was spectacular!  The food was incredible and service was excellent.  We were very impressed with the whole evening.  Morimoto was on the ship right after dry dock to train the staff.
