One of the main reasons for the MDR change was to eliminate personal preference off menu special requests that were slowing things down. So no surprise they won't honor non-medically required special requests.

It's whatever their supplier has in stock that particular cruise.

If you check in on the app you can pick a time then do the rest later

5 for me but also numerous other flights for non cruise trips. No issues

If you want to avoid crowds and eating indoors then maybe cruising isn't right for you at this point.

25 years in software engineering. More than enough experience to know what I'm talking about without getting into a resume war.

I hope your test result finds no rats in you stateroom.

If you go on the world cruise, you get your new status on the day you earn it. So there's that.

Soda stream cylinders aren't that small. Their echo on the xrays could easily flag that bag for further inspection.
