You did not state what category room, just Haven. Only the highest category rooms receive included bottles of liquor. The drink packages do NOT include bottles of spirits.
If a passenger is removed from the booking (pre-cruise is helpful to NCL), that person should receive a refund of some taxes and fees.
Have you seen this?

The Sommelier can tell you whatever they want, due to the Disclaimers (tiny print at the bottom of flyer).
I suggest that you read as many reviews of each ship (especially with photos), so you can get a "feel" for each. The Jewel is 5 years older than Epic, is smaller, and, lacks many of the "fun things" that are on Bliss and Encore.
We had a great cruise on the Sky December 2022. However, it has no Haven restaurant, no Haven bar and is missing a Haven Courtyard type area. (Much smaller ship!) Breakfast and Lunch are available for Suites in Cagney's or/Moderno (like on Jewel ships). As for everything else, it is more like Jewel-class ship.
As a SOLO traveler, you should receive 1 free bag of laundry, 2 (total) bottles of FLOW water, and, the standard 2 Latitudes meals.
You might get lucky and receive more. However, the Terms and Conditions are not in your favor.
Yup, the change has been more recently (May, I believe!)

Even when logged into my account, I have noticed this to be the case for at least the past year and a half.
It is a bit difficult as you have said!
"NCL regulars" would likely answer questions you might have about specific excursions on the PORT listings. I read the port posts anyway to get a feel for what sound the same as NCL's descriptions.
Or, you might look for Ship/Itinerary specific NCL posts in this forum and perhaps you'll find info you want. Trying using the "Search" feature (in the upper right hand corner of this page).
