Aug 2023 I was told I was headed back for chemo days before final payment for Wonder sailing Dec 2023. I got the refund for cruise but, like you, received emails saying no refund on the cruise planner items. I messaged my TA and she said don’t worry about it, they correct in a day or two and you’ll have the money in a week. I didn’t like this answer and called RCI directly to inquire about the emails. I spent less than 20 minutes on the phone, most of it on hold, while the agent chased down an accounts manager and told me the issue was resolved and they were able to get the changes in before the cancelation officially posted. She said this saved me the couple of weeks resolving it afterwards would have taken. The money was returned about 5 days later and I found a new TA. Call RCI and talk to someone.

I will make an attempt to answer the question as asked. The steaming device must be less than 8.5" long x 4" high for any single part. 1. Start by wrapping the device, fully disassembled, in a laptop faraday bag. There are available on Amazon. 2. Purchase a used curling rock and carefully machine it out to a wall thickness of 0.5" 3. Line the inside of the rock with 0.5" of lead. This will leave an area of d = 9" x 4" h inside the rock. 4. Carefully line the lead with plastic wrap using a scraper and a blow dryer 5. Cover the plastic wrap with aluminium foil, SHINY SIDE OUT. This should sound important. 6. Place the item, disassembled, along with any tools required to reassemble the device on the ship into the rock and fill the remaining space with coffee grounds. This will prevent rattling and help throw off the steamer-sniffing dogs. 7. Replace the rock's handle 8.Attach a tasteful little plaque with the words "Earthly Remains of Donald Foley (1929-2002)" The x-ray machine will not see the steamer. Probably. It is left as an exercise for the reader to explain why you are carrying a rock with human remains many times the regulation weight onto a cruise ship. A note on personal safety: I would strongly recommend you do not come within a day's drive of a TSA agent while in possession of an item like this. I may be an electro-mechanical engineering technologist; But I am not YOUR electromechanical engineering technologist; this is not electro-mechanical engineering advice.
