Not available for your cruise yet. When it show ups it will be under the departure port. I think it showed up about 6 months before our cruise and doesn't sell out immediately.
Change happens. It isn't the guest's fault.
If your cruise begins today and the ship isn't there, do you assume just another cutback or do you bother to ask someone?
It can be a brunch, lunch, just cocktails, whatever. No flat iron these days.
In the good old days it could be a bridge tour or even coffee on the bridge.

It is true that many people have forgotten about personal hygiene and gone back to their dirty ways. On my Antarctica cruise the Captain had to given daily lectures over the PA and there was still lots of noro, covid, and God know what. It took about two days into the cruise before Lido stopped being self-service. Those who forget the past...
A bi-directional money grab. They tax liquor in transit not destined for the state.
Texas doesn't apply the tax (they are careful not to call it a duty) to people relocating to the state. That limit is unlimited.
It won't help on your first cruise, but spend some time in the casino and maybe you'll start getting casino offers from almost free staterooms, free drinks while playing, maybe even free drinks anywhere.
