    Lifeboats in Central Park seems problematic though.

    You may not fill your water bottle directly from any dispenser, though.  You must fill a glass and pour that into your water bottle.  But, yes, you can do that.

    This is a fan site. You would get more accurate information by contacting Royal Caribbean directly.

    Your parents should contact the bank they had the debit card through.  They will probably just cut your parents a check once the refund goes through.  The funds should still come back to the bank.

    They can ask for any amount they like.  What would be bonkers is for one of the excursions to also have this:

    Alaska excursions that involve helicopters or small planes are up there.
    We didn't book through RC (except one we had to replace last minute due to weather) and I don't want to try to remember what that trip cost, lol, but it was worth it.

    Find a bar that suits you.
    Find a bar tender you like.
    Confirm they work there on a regular schedule.
    Give them a fat tip on day one.
    Now when you go back, odds are you will get priority and stronger drinks.

    If you can find your way to the missing port, you can sail on Vision next week

    There's a lot of variety in travel insurance.  I aim to purchase mine within 14 days of my initial deposit so that I can have Cancel For Any Reason protection (CFAR).  
    You can purchase your insurance up until the time you leave.  It's a good idea to cover your trip door-to-door, which will cover your trip from the minute you leave your house to the minute you get home.  If I get in an accident on the way to the port or airport and can't make the sailing, I want coverage.  It's also important for me to have coverage for major medical when outside the country, and coverage to get me back to the US if something happens overseas.  While my own health insurance does cover me, it would all be out-of-network, and they certainly wouldn't pay to get me back by medivac if needed!
    But not everyone needs/wants that kind of coverage and maybe just want to cover the sailing.  That's why there's no one answer. I like to purchase off of tripinsurance.com, but there are many insurance aggregation sites.  Check out a few and see what works for you.  I haven't found that the insurance provided by the cruise line covers more than the days you are actually on the ship (you may be able to add onto it, but I don't want the hassle), so I always buy 3rd party.

    Wow, it's welcomed for sure. I have rarely gotten onboard credit that I remember so maybe that's why I don't remember it happening to me. Thanks for the info.

    This happens to me frequently.  I never know why (unless my TA is repricing, getting better deals, and just not telling me).

    Thank you very much for your response. I am planning to purchase on the next business day which would be Monday. I'm mad I didn't do it sooner. I read over the protection plan provided by RC and felt it was reasonable. I have my own insurance through work so I just need coverage only for the sailing time. Still debating if I'm going to do CFAR.

    Possibly, although it's also an Interstate Highway.  In any case, no matter whose jurisdiction it belongs to, anybody close would respond lights and sirens and block it off.
