Nope. The cabana protects you from the rain 🙂

You would think it would be more efficient to flip the smoking and non-smoking casinos.  Give smokers a compact space to smoke and breathe each others smoke, give non-smokets an expanded space. 

Yes. Your daily gratuities are for your room steward and dining staff.  The beverage packages (and specialty dining packages) have separate gratuities. This is the way it works on most mainstream cruise lines.

I've never had a problem making them when on the ship, or just walking in for lunch.

This screams "written by the company".

If you go into RoyalCaribbean.com and find the sailing as though you were going to book it, and check "View Ports and Map" or "Explore Itinerary" it will say if it is tendered.  I tried looking for you but I don't see any Odyssey sailings departing on September 26th.
This is the one leaving Sept 27th.

They are usually industrial-sized, thick, 20-30 foot cords.  They may be two-plug cords, butI wouldn't plan on using it for anything else.  Bringing a USB hub is so much more convenient.

Just ignore the % off.  It's really meaningless.  Just look at the price per person, per day.  Do the math and decide if that price justifies getting the package.  At $78/pppd that's basically 5.5 full-priced ($14) cocktails per day.  Vitality Spa juices are included, as well as specialty coffees (not at a Starbucks location).  On some ships it will include shakes at Johnny Rockets.  If it doesn't make sense to you, per day, then just buy a la carte.   I've seen lower prices at 35% off than 50% off (was that 50% off the 2nd guest? I don't remember, but I learned very early on to just look at the price per day on the Cruise Planner).

As a retired zoo keeper, I've always advocated for people to not take part in holding animals on excursions, especially wild animals.  It absolutely does stress them, even if the average people can't see it.    I'm hoping it does become a thing of the past.
