Don't let your blood pressure spike over this. They really should just remove the menus (and activity schedules) from the app since they are so often wrong.
A few years ago, we were on a Princess ship that was the first one to use the new terminal in San Francisco. However, the "official" first cruise and the fanfare associated with it was actually a couple of weeks later. Really no big deal.
That rules out the specialty dining and liquor, as those are things you can get better and cheaper at home.
I say spend it on whatever makes you happy. That's the whole point, isn't it?
You will have significantly more room in the Reserve Collection mini-suite. Princess generally has more and better dance floors (important to us), though the bands are usually comparable. Princess also has far superior speciality dining.
The OBC issue can vary. I had a price drop where my TA thought I would lose OBC, but after the repricing, all the OBC was still there. So you should be prepared to lose the OBC, but you may also get lucky and keep it.
From the reports here, it sounds like it may be some problem endemic to the Edge class. I'm glad we have no plans to sail on one of them for at least the next two years.
I was surprised to see move-up offers for Galapagos cruises, but what the heck.
