But did any of them comment on how it was strange for the floors to be worn out, and quickly covered up with carpet to hide the fact that they were actually aboard the doomed ship Olympic, and not the actual Titanic?

Here's a debunk of that theory.

One key piece of evidence can be found in the construction of the ships. Each had a distinct construction identification number, also known as a yard number, that appeared on many of their parts, including their wood paneling. It is well documented that the Olympic’s yard number was 400, while the Titanic’s was 401. Multiple artifacts bearing the number 401 have been raised from Titanic and items auctioned off after the Olympic was retired in 1935 feature the number 400.

And I have read the opposite to be true of their wood stock. It's as though they have taken the theories key talking points and simply flipped it.

The RMS Olympic's keel was irreparably damaged from the collision with the Hawke. How did they fix that damage that rendered it not seaworthy? The damage was so catastrophic, it twisted the propeller shaft.
