While I don't understamd your Holiday Inn Express reference, I do know that on the past three cruises the company has undertaken fairly extensive work - including rewiring etc. - that we have never experienced in our previous decade of cruising.

On one cruise they closed down part of a deck so that they could dismantle some awnings. That ship was then heading to Bahamas for a week for a significant refit, so the only reason for starting work while we were still at sea on a cruise was so they could get a head start and spend less time out of commission.
