Yes, but you need to call in and request this. It can't be done online

Similar question: We are a group of 8 booked for Allure in October. I've linked the reservations of all couples and we all have selected My Time Dining for 7:00 PM each night, how can I ensure that we all get seated together?

We always stay at Hyatt Place 17th St. Great location and great hotel. You can jump on the sunshine trolley if you want to hit Las Olas.

Over $1750 Canadian for our 8 night cruise in October. Definitely not a sale price. Seems as if they're trying to recoup all the lost revenue at once.

I stayed at tbe Holiday Inn at Port if Miami. The location is great but the hotel is definitely in need of updating. I would recommend if the price is right but be aware there are issues.

Depending on seasonal pricing, the Hilton Downtown and Marriott Biscayne Bay are located right next to each other and can be reasonable.  Close to the port and places in/around downtown.  If you'll have a rental car, some of the Blue Lagoon hotels out near MIA have good rates and accessible to everywhere.

Last time we were in Miami pre-cruise we stayed at the Kimpton Epic, it seemed reasonably priced at the time (pre-pandemic), not the cheapest but not the most expensive.  We enjoyed staying there and would again whenever cruising out of Miami.

Spending 5 days pre-cruise in Miami in April. Looking for recommendations for a hotel for our stay. Don’t want to break the bank, but not a cheap place either. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the message boards.
I've seen sentiment for both sides of the discussion. 
Since refunds or FCC have been granted I can understand the argument against it.  If I had been granted points for my lost transatlantic solo I would have 24 points.  If I then booked a future transatlantic using the same funds I would gain another 24 points for a total of 48 points.  That's a lot of points for the price of one cruise.  If I had been in a suite it would be 72 points.  That's almost granting Diamond status for a single cruise so I can understand the argument against it.  
Personally I think they should have offered points for anyone choosing FCC as a means to motivate people not to seek refunds.  The problem is it becomes complicated for solo or suites and if they start creating rules to cap it or deviate from the normal allotment of points then some people lose and others win creating ill will, animosity and endless arguments.  That's not what a loyalty program is there for.
In the end the safest course of action is to stick to the established policy and rules.  If your head isn't sleeping on a Royal Caribbean pillow you don't earn points, just like the airlines and like most other loyalty programs.  
This pandemic is truly awful and has impacted so many in dreadful ways.  Royal did nothing to bring on the pandemic, it's not their doing.  While I would always enjoy free points I have a hard time justifying an expectation that I should be awarded points for cruises I didn't sail that were cancelled not by Royal's hand but by forces out of their control that required cruise lines to shut down.  

We always stay at Hyatt Place 17th St Convention Center. Perfectly located, restaurants and shopping near by, plus the sun trolley to the beach if you are so inclined.
