I saw the documentary. I got the impression it would cost significantly more than 500 mil. The head of Norwegian Cruise said there is a chance the ship could be rehabbed but he would not bet on it.
The ship isn't your typical ocean liner. It was secretly commisshioned by the navy. If there was ever a WWIII the ship could carry 15,000 soldiers. It is twice as fast as a typical love boat. The engines are unique and they don't have anyone with the current skills to even work on them.
