That is probably so variable you won't know until you are in Central Park.

It should be the latter.

The 45 day out availability is not set in stone, even if others on your sailing have been successful.

Again, the issue is not canceling, nor keeping the cabin, it’s canceling just one person and expecting a refund (including the cabin fare) for that person. If you try to cancel for COVID for a refund, it generally requires canceling the entire cabin/booking.

Yes, though the heaters on some ships work better than others.

The Flowrider is generally open any time the ambient temperature is above 50F (10C). Biker, who enjoyed it alone sailing out of Juneau.

The issue is not exposure, but the possibility of only one person on a booking being able to cancel for COVID reasons (with a refund )- not usually possible.

Not sure what they see even at this level.

Wifi calling, including texts, should work on any ship in the RCI fleet using Voom.

From the same filing: Recent Developments Bookings Update The Company’s demand remains strong, with bookings significantly outpacing 2019 levels. The Company announced the easing of testing and vaccination protocols from most itineraries on August 23, 2022, resulting in an immediate positive impact on bookings for both 2022 and 2023 sailings.

From a cumulative standpoint, 2023 remains booked within historical ranges at much higher rates.

That or try again in a few days as that restriction may lift.

You'll want to bring an HDMI cable and hope you can hook it up to the TV, like you would need to do on the other 23 ships which don't have the feature Odyssey has (wireless streaming to the TV).

A very rare C&A IT error.

On other Q class ships, the double occupancy cabins are roughly the same size though all are not the same configuration inside.

That might work - when they show up for dinner just have them use your cabin number. This assumes you will use your 3 night package on some other nights. If you want to join them, it might get more complicated but you should be able to arrange on board.

You have it right, though I wouldn't count 100% of that service being available - your back up plan with Uber is good.

Compared to some of the novels written by some, you did fine.
