Switched over to duckbill N95 mask. Made in USA (only important for certifications).
I wear both glasses and hearing aids, and this mask has two separate straps that I can put the top strap on the crown of my head, rather than one contiguous earloop. I need this so that the strap/loop doesn't grab my $$$$ hearing aids and send them flying.
BTW, in the beginning of all this, 18 months ago, we were told to wear masks everywhere. When I tried to bicycle, it was like
Helmet Mask Glasses Hearing Aids Choose any three Usually, I took the hearing aids out into case and put them in the rack bag.

ProTIp:
Set your analog watch on your wrist to ship time on embarkation day. Digital watch is OK as long as it does not set itself. All party members over a certain age (8 or so? Depends on the child?) should have a watch. If a member in your party doesn't have a watch, I'm pretty sure that you might be able to find one on board at a reasonable price. Double-check your watch to ship time when you leave the ship for an excursion. There is usually a clock right there.

Small ship person. Majesty of the Seas☹️. RCI had to make the decision they did about those ships. I will have to find a new favorite. That's not a bad thing, I guess.

The last 18 months have changed my perspective on these kind of things. It's now limited to:
Shoes on? Hands clean? Vaccinated? Mask properly worn when appropriate? Other than that, not caring much. 
Also, the robe is better attire than what a lot of people wear anyway.

By description, yes. "Spacious" allows for 4 guests and non-spacious is limited to 3. I would assume that the room is configured slightly different so that the furniture required for 4 guest fits. So, bigger sofa.
In normal, double-occupacy mode, I can't see that it makes a huge difference.

Most Doctors? I currently work in a hospital in Sydney so not a great expert but my brother is a Doctor working in University Hospital San Antonio. He reports twice as many re infections than vaccinated in ICU. Now consider how many people have had Covid against how many vaccinated. MOST of mine and his colleagues do not give the advice you are stating as truth.
 

Word of caution about Amtrak: notoriously known for being late.  Freight trains actually have priority over Amtrak, as Amtrak travels over tracks owned by the major railway systems. Otherwise a very fun way to go.
