No, you may get some free food (more likely you carry it in from elsewhere) in there but it's not the paid version of the menu.

Also, if that 11:30 is the earliest, then you are first anyway and can show up as early as you want (after terminal opens for check in)

No food benefits and free drinks during happy hour in the Suite Lounge.

The same as if you booked that cabin directly.

Check back - very unlikely anything earlier was available and gone in such a short time - earlier slots may become available later.

A few of the newest ships (since Spectrum) were advertised being able to use your phone to open the cabin door (Digital Key) but not sure that feature is in use now.

I don't think denials were based on inventory - they seemed to all come 4-8PM on sail away day with the pre-denial mentioned by @Tree_skier (a separate message) a couple of days out. Maybe the on board Royal Up wins (very rare anyway) were too much of a hassle (and perhaps folks complained about it) and RCI did away with them.

Folks reporting that are likely either using older cups (very unlikely you could use one from say 5 years ago) or some ships may have a limited range of cups they allow in their Freestyle machine.

Look at the current sailing in the app for that info.

That has not been the experience for most people - as long as it's not too old and has not been activated, you can use it on most ships/sailing. The expiration is from the date you start using it - not tied to your sailing/ship.

Yes.

Denials are coming the day before sailing now?

Many one-offs happen on P heavy sailings- not reported on any other ship.

And if your device happens to change MAC addresses on subsequent connections, you can use it a few more times during a sailing.

The app may work once you connect to the ship wifi but if you are already on board, just go to the MDR and arrange in person.

Many probably have taken them on RCI as well, but policy prohibits them - the only question is whether yours will be caught/confiscated.

Welcome to CC. Yes, Adventure Ocean should be open but you may want to browse the Grandeur threads (drop down list on the main page here in the RCI section of CC).

Yes and No.

Look for some video reviews on any of the "regular" Q class ships (Quantum, Anthem, Ovation).

Not from RCI and unlikely from a local vendor either - you could ask in the port of call section as well.

Yes and a couple of USB.

You may want to ask this in the port of call section. Also, RCI leaves from Ravenna, which is pretty far from Venice.

What goes up, sometimes comes down.
