If they're still in stock, you may need to see the Loyalty Ambassador. During the last week of January, (the week the program appears to have changed) we were having an issue with our status being listed as Platinum on some things and Emerald on others (Sea Passes, Stateroom communications, etc.), as well as not receiving our pins.  After a visit to the Ambassador, our Emerald Pins were delivered to our stateroom that evening.

Really? The article states that he has only been with Symphony since December. 

Yes, absolutely.
Keep in mind, also, that if you did not care for your MDR entree or would like something more, your servers will gladly bring you something else from the MDR menu.

"On an average sea day, the former bartender estimated that he made anywhere from 80 to 250 drinks."
I was kind of surprised by this number. Did anyone else think this sounded like a low amount?
I was pleased with how well he was he did financially. Good luck to him in his educational endeavors!

I guess I screwed up while trying to do this on Harmony a few weeks ago.
I clicked to reserve and got a confirmation and letter received an email with a booking number after disembarkation.
My assumption was that my credit card on file would be charged the $200. However, when we decided on our next cruise and called to make the reservation two weeks later, I was told that my booking number was cancelled for non-payment.

I guess we got in just under the wire!
We received our Emerald pins on Harmony after visiting the Loyalty Ambassador during our January 28th - February 4th sailing!
One more until Diamond!

Just as @smokeybandit stated, the menus are just the featured cocktails and some of the bars have their own featured menu.
Since you do have the drink package, here is a quick tip in case you didn't know, always state the brand of liquor you would like in your drinks (i.e Tito's or Grey Goose vodka in your Bloody Mary). A higher shelf liquor will improve your drink quality and does not cost extra with the drink package!

I have to ask...if you were already on the phone with customer service before booking the second one...why not have them do it to ensure there was no mix up again? 🤔

I believe we can all agree that much of the first post by the OP is bogus. Booking for four in a stateroom will NEVER be double the cost of booking for two, unless the comparison is apples to bicycle chains (four person interior on Grandeur to a suite on Icon, for example).
The drive-by bots aren't getting any smarter. 
Note: in the unlikely event that the OP is a real poster with a real problem, I apologize in advance. Just seems too conveniently fishy as a first post to be real.

Drive by in progress?

Just a couple weeks ago, we were dropped off by our Uber in the loop on the east side of the building shown below.
Our driver (experienced in Galveston cruise drop-offs) knew exactly where to go. Luggage porters will be waiting and available.

 

Leaving from a favorite embarkation port. Visiting some favorite ports. Visiting a couple ports for the first time!

From Amazon: Luggage tag holders! Combination Passport/Vax Card Holders (In the post COVID era, the different colors make it easy to know which one is which when getting them out of my carryon)
From Dollar Tree: Towel Clips, Magnetic Hooks/Clips, Small Battery-Operated LED Night Lights (For older ships with no automatic night lights in the stateroom bathrooms) 

For those wondering, UBER was the option we went with and it could not have gone better!
Because we didn't really know how heavy traffic could or would be, be arranged for an 11:15 pick up for our 12:00 arrival time.
Our driver, Gina, promptly picked us up at our Seawall Blvd hotel at 11:15 and we were on our way. I was surprised just how light traffic turned out to be and we arrived at the port at 11:28.
I expected to have to wait until noon after handing off our luggage to the porter, but were promptly waved into the terminal. Security check, carry on x-ray, a quick question from an agent about our health status, followed by a passport check and scan of our set sail passes had us on our way up the gangway.
We were done with our muster station check in and ordering our first drink at the Sand Bar before our scheduled arrival time!

My wife set up the pickup (her account) the evening before while we were at dinner. She entered the date, time, pickup location, and destination then chose a driver from an available list of drivers/prices.

I prefer the sad tuba music that plays when you lose on The Price Is Right! 😆
