Not?

You still pay the fees incurred by Carnival, no matter what reason you use. I think it is about $800 pp.

You should search these forums for posts by Heidi13 and chengkp75. Both provide excellent insight. For example-

Older ships have an issue when balcony doors are left open

Many times... Love the forward portholes You will heat the anchor if deployed and certainly the thrusters during docking. Less noise on Deck 2 than Deck One. Trade off is little to no foot traffic, the further forward. Coming on board at port is wonderful, short walk.

I love A1s as a solo.

You also risk no longer getting casino offers. I haven't seen it tested for a solo but there is new language saying "no shows" will be charged under "Terms and Conditions"

Very, very, very rarely. Most offers say for "New Bookings Only" The casino offers now come with a "non-transferable" "nonrefundable" statement. The days of booking Early Saver then immediately switching to a casino offer is gone.

2. Not true at all. 3. Also no longer accurate.

Upsells aren't random. They are based on your booked cabin type and location and the desire for the cruise line to sell you into a under selling category then resell your cabin. If you actually mean a free upgrade, that is a myth sold by clickbait authors who have never sailed.

Drinks at Princess Cays don't count

Doesn't that shuttle in the background run from the entrance to the castle? Seems I was able to get on a shuttle at the castle down to the grounds entrance before?

Better?

I am traveling with two mobility impaired seniors who would love to see the forts and maybe another place or two in San Juan. Since the free hop on/off trolley isn't running, what options are there?

The pop up free play is new this year. They are cracking down on the cashing out game including locking people out permanently from room charging in the casino.
