    The perks are available for any type of cabin.  They're not particular to suites.

    I would try to find an excursion on your own instead of the Royal excursion.  Might be a better experience.  
    I think I've posted this before, but here's my son holding one the rays.

    You definitely have a case against the SO.  This person essentially stole from you.
    Dispute the charge on your credit card.

    If you were willing to be part of one of those flash mobs, they sometimes do them on this ship.  You can ask the CD staff if there will be one and you can ask for your proposal to be part of it.
    I've seen videos of others doing this.

    I believe that's a NO then.  But it's similar with an assortment of Italian antipasto.

    A lot of dining package questions can be answered in this blog:

    In terms of motion sickness there are many different solutions and some work good for one person while a different solution works better for someone else. 
    Some people swear by sea bands.  These are worn like a watch or bracelet and are not based on drugs but use acupressure which is appealing to some.  There are several herbal solutions that work for some such as ginger root while green apple works for some.  When it comes to drugs there are some that are fast acting, some that cause drowsiness and some that are less drowsy.  Bonine and Dramamine are two popular choices and are often available in generic versions at popular retail stores.  Bonine is less drowsy while dramamine can cause more drowsiness.  Each of these have considerations you should research such drinking alcohol when taking them which on vacation could be an important factor in deciding which is best for you.  You should talk to your doctor about your situation including interaction with any other medication you might be taking.
    I'm not typically sensitive to motion sickness yet I bring medication with me.  The only time it really got to me was on a small cargo ship converted to carry passengers in the early 80's.  It was a small ship, 1/10 the size of Grandeur and in the North Atlantic off the coast of Greenland in very large seas it was quite an experience.  Years later after my experience in the North Atlantic I find knowing I have something with me, ready and available in my cabin helps to reduce worrying about it because I know I am prepared,  just in case.  I haven't used it since and every few years I have to toss out expired medication and purchase fresh ones but that is a small price to pay knowing I am prepared.  I have sea bands somewhere.  I saw them on sale once and brought them for family in case they turned out be sensitive.  Best to be prepared. 
    The ship store will likely have something but unlikely to be the cheapest place to acquire it or the store might be closed when you need it.    In cases of very large seas sometimes a ship will make something available at guest services but that doesn't happen too often.
