Not really, it's up to the discretion of the staff. 

I have always used the Suites check-in line when I had a JS.  If the Set Sail pass says “Suite” (which it always has) then you can use the suites line.  Nothing else though….

I'm so uncomfortable around water that I got drunk enough to put my toe in the water last cruise and my family took pics and made memes about it.  Not enough alcohol in the world to get my in enough water I'd need an oxygen tank😜

My husband dove at CocoCay once, each time he has tried since the excursion has been canceled.  He got a bit sea sick during that dive, but I'm sure the big breakfast he had prior didn't help! He is scheduled to do it again in 3 weeks, hopefully it actually happens. (If you ever are near Disney and haven't done it yet, he raves about the dive at Epcot.  It's called Dive Quest, and he has done it about 10 times now)

I will be on the Christmas cruise.

That'll be easy.  Let's just pick a time and place to meet !  Last year I had a great meet-up with @fireclan.  I wish I had included you in that one so I apologize for forgetting that you would be there !!!  We won't let that happen again....🥰
...and OBTW, that photo is nearly 20 years old.  I really MUST replace it.  🙄

Not going to lie, I was actively watching people trying to figure out if I could spot you based on your profile pic.  This year I will try harder to find you!  

Definitely has to be 21 in North America.  We are unexpectedly adopting an almost 18 year old, and thankfully have a large group going on our NYE cruise.  I had to borrow an adult from another room to switch into his room reservation because despite him being 18 by then, the rule is 21 (my husband and I were already in separate rooms because we have 4 other kids).  Had we been able to get him a connecting/adjoining room it wouldn't have been an issue because his age wouldn't matter, but GTY was cheapest so we needed an adult.

We will be on AD for Christmas and NY (again) this year !

On a recent sailing I was leaning over the rear of the ship admiring the wake. I was approached by the Captain and given a Stern warning.

We just did Christmas on Adventure 2023, 11 of us total in 5 rooms.  We were given 2 round tables next to each other in the dining room.  I linked everyone to my app and got us all the check in time.  For shows if you want that many to sit together you need to show up EARLY.  We did it every man for themselves for shows - I was not going to try to hold seats for that many people (there was a Christmas ice show that 2 of my kids went to with me.  We all went and found seats, then they went to get milk shakes.  It was rough keeping people from taking the seats for the brief time they were gone, I can't imagine trying to save more than that!
For Labadee I got a Cabana (they sold out within a couple months of the cruise going on sale, I'm thankful we booked as soon as it opened up) and we tipped the attendant extra and he let everyone use it.  It was great having a nice area for all of us to hang out.

I have a large family (5 kids) so we always have multiple rooms.  Each room's OBC pops up individually, not as one pot of money.  So your parents and kids will each have their own $100 to spend, as well as you.  Happy cruising (and spending!)!

My Citi Costco card is 3% back for travel, I get the money every February to use as I please (my cash back is always over $300 so it qualifies to be direct deposited into my bank account.  Super easy).

Many of these people have a family back home, who still need a place to stay and to eat.  So I would say a decent portion are still paying for a place to live in their home country.  Our server on Adventure was single, but was in the process of building a house because, as he told us, in order to get married he had to prove to a woman's family (there was no specific woman yet because he had no home yet) he had a place for her to live.

Also remember that unless the crew member wants to impose on family or friends,  he  or she must keep an apartment on shore even though it isn't used very much.

The wonky pricing per guest was super annoying with FCC during the COVID shutdown.  Making sure each person had the right amount, and then using the credit for a new cruise was like trying to pass Advanced Calculus🤪

Last cruise we signed up for a Learn to Play option via the Cruise Planner.  I think it was $20, gave us $20 worth of chips (whatever the cost was that was the value of chips we received), and 2 free drinks.  It disappeared from the cruise planner not long after we booked it, and I haven't seen it offered on any of the Cruise Planners since.  I keep hoping it shows up again for our future cruises, because it was a great deal!  Even if it doesn't come up again, I will definitely go to the Learn to Play sessions anyhow.  It was nice to learn in a relaxed environment - I'm too chicken to play when people are around.
