Yes, it's the same SetSail pass in app and in a browser. The appearance of a muster station or deck doesn't really help till check in at 45 days out when you can get your SetSail pass.
That pattern may not be confirmed until she starts sailing that itinerary later this fall but assume it’s about the same as most other ships 7 night sailings. Look at the current Symphony sailing in the app and assume it will be very close to that.
Even if they did, the advice you were already given are the usual remedies. You may want to check on the Roll Call thread to confirm others have been able to check in.
The deployment for 2025 (with RCI not sailing from Amsterdam) was set well over a year ago so it’s very unlikely any protests would have influenced the decision.
If you filter cruiseplum for lowest cost per day, the list starts with nothing but TAs. The Odyssey TA in Nov is an outlier, like the summer ones via Iceland.
Financially, it makes no sense to get beer with the card as individual beers are usually less than buying with card. Even rarer than that card, RCI may sell a 10-beer card.
If RCI is counting on this project to be completed on time, it may affect the deployment as bigger ships (including O and I class) no longer need to go to Europe:

You have it right. I don’t recall anyone being able to modify the price on an existing planner purchase. In the end it’s the same cost wise technically it’s still a cancel and rebook.
That may vary. Check for availability as soon as you board and then go to the Ripcord desk and ask about the free slots - that is likely the hardest to get.
