In general terms - large size suit cases will not fit through screening machines .
Medium size and smaller ones will .
We check in around 1 and go direct to cabin with bags.

As far as I understand you can get them removed once onboard. You will have to tell them the reason.
No reason required

I was really hoping for Quebec! We did the snowbird migration from Quebec City to Fort Lauderdale in 2019. It was amazing.
Yes we were definitely hoping for Quebec in the mix to go back, but not .
so we booked btbtb

Presumably they just pass the fee on?
That's a decision in the operating model of the business .

Hope that she has been updated like the other Oasis Class ships by then.
Supposedly to be amplified to something better than Utopia which is being hyped up now and not even sailing yet .

I actually remembered enough small details to find the review in question. The pictures posted were from Sunflower Cafe, so going to try to convince the family to go there.
Sunflower can be slow, backed up, and loud

I'm also going through the same decision making process for Sat April 20. Looked into Moody but its attractions are pricey and we likely won't be up for much on a travel day. I like the idea of a hotel that shuttles from IAH and has a good mall/restaurant nearby then uber to port the next day. Hoping someone has a great recommendation!
No hotel shuttles on their own from IAH to the Island . Try Galveston Saltwater Moms for private transfer .

Memorial Day weekend is a holiday weekend . All will have higher pricing in tourist destinations.

I believe there is also a store across from the port that will store your luggage for $5/bag, which would also solve the luggage problem.
Yes there is

Usually warm but can be windy. March is public school spring break for Texas but I agree with you that Princess will have less kids.
Book when kids donot sail free on Royal

We like to get on early. We are all about getting every minute of the cruise we paid for and not give up 3 hours and a nice lunch to haul our own luggage around the ship.
What do you do on ship at 10:00 am

That's too much work for a family- we bring mostly carryons, but still don't feel like rolling them around for 2-3 hours before our room is ready. We haven't had one lost yet and it's nice to get to the room and the bags show up. We don't use the tags, though- just stapling the paper ones on a few times and a piece of packing tape does the job
Check in around 1:00 and you will not cart bags around for hours . No tags needed at all.

I just “snip” my luggage tags and resize them to fit my tag holders. If this is confusing, have your kids do it for you.
We donot use them at all .

If you carry on you do not need them at all .
medium and carry on size bags fit thru screening machines . Checkin at 1:00 and go straight to cabin for card . Drop bags off yourself. You will not lose bags if you carry them on .- 1
