This guy thought robes made him "the man":

Note that I used words like "can result" and "subject to". A guest won't necessarily always be charged, but neither should guest be surprised nor object to a charge if it happens. Checking in early at the terminal will often mean the wine table is not setup to process excess bottles. Although an unmarked bottle can be charged in the DR by your waiter, they might not do so every time. Guest is charged at the time of opening bottle in DR, SD locale, or bar. Guest is not charged if later bringing same open bottle to dinner next night or to another location.

Nothing to do with the packages. Also, neither package has a corkage fee waiver benefit. It is true that bringing a bottle or two of wine back to ship from a port will rarely garner any attention at all and guest can simply proceed with it to their cabin. That said, bringing said unopened bottle to dinner can result in being assessed a corkage fee.

Incorrect. Guest may bring on much much more than 2 bottles (IDK if anyone knows what the practical limit would be). All bottles >1 per guest are subject to a corkage fee of $20/btl.

It was yesterday afternoon and you can find it on Carmen Roig's YouTube page. It was more of the usual rah-rah sales gab. I didn't see all of the questions answered either, nor many of the issues raised here addressed. That would not be in line with the rah-rah session style.

Don't be surprised if they manage to rig up some of the gauze "sails" they use on other ships. IMO, it doesn't do much at all on Royal Class, so I wouldn't expect a lot of coverage for Sun Class, but they'll make an effort I expect. I also expect there will magically be more pads on loungers that didn't have them before.

Never seen such a thing, nor anything close to it. ETA: Someone mentioned robe. I can see someone coming in from pool deck and using a standard terry robe as a cover-up. That wouldn't be alarming IMO. I do agree should be wearing footwear of some sort (that's a rule).

I do not see PCL guessing at all. They have realized a significant number of guests want to continue with TD and they are adding that back into the mix formally (it really never left if one was aware of things and requested it). OTOH, they will make it easier since guests can request that option upfront and it is done outside of DMW App which could not handle TD at all. Guests can still make custom reservations or do walk-up (a.k.a "anytime"). It's the best of all worlds if they can pull it off smoothly. DR Mgrs have been dealing with making adjustments to whatever gobbledy-gook DMW delivers them.

Not on their public webpages. They may have hidden or member pages that will indicate discounts. Some have the discounting baked into their booking engines if you get access to those webpages.

That one is a no-no to mention specifically and has been deleted in the past. It does have several participating subscribing travel agencies and acts as an intermediary advertising platform in effect. You should find non-specific wording to refer to this website like posters who reference the "Big Box". I have advised posters to look for a website where agents compete for your business (or similar).

As for Canadian fees, we probably have higher hotel tax rates than many are used to. BTW, those $300 - $400 US room rates are well over $500 in Monopoly money (er CAD funds).

I think the Fairmont chain is Canada's top line of hotels.

No, they don't transfer funds. See my post above which aligns with your final sentences.

No. You cash out casino winnings/balance at the cage. You then visit GS and hand over the cash and ask them to deposit it into your cabin account.

I agree that the absence of a public AO section for open decks is a miss. That said, as long as I don't have to sit under or near the noisy MUTS screen, I don't mind a few kids and we wouldn't generally be sailing in prime school holiday periods.
