Grand Suite on Indy in Jan 19. We had Chops breakfast daily (including disembark day) and there was a reserved area in the Windjammer for suite guests for lunch. Lunch was not free at Chops.

I'm going to second above the bridge wings on Deck 14. Great spot. Bring a drink cause it's not next to any bar.

Probably not, only because I've never heard of it. What does/did it include?

I've heard that some of the escape rooms allow booking through the cruise planner, but the two ships I've been on that had them didn't do bookings until embarkation day. You'll definitely want to book early, as by the 2nd day there were only two time slots available to us.

I don't think you'd be able to solve the room with just two people. The puzzles are pretty good, so more minds will help, but most importantly, several of the puzzles are designed to require co-operation with 3-4 people. For instance, on the Independence there was a puzzle that required two people to sit in alcoves on the opposite sides of the room, and then a third person had to be in the middle to relay messages between them. They will definitely fill up the remaining slots with other people, but we've always had fun working with other random people.

Most recent cruise for us was January. We redeemed points in November and purchased excursions during the Black Friday sale with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We've always redeemed our credits through the BOA website and they show up a couple of days later. Always months before we sail. Maybe the addition of talking to a human adds a layer of complexity to the process that prevents these credits from appearing sooner.
