Thanks to the OP for the compiled information. We are onboard Ruby Princess headed back to Galveston as I type this. We have sailed on Carnival in the past with no issues related to bringing, storing and using my Mini 2. The UAS stays in the cabin and in its case at all times unless we are...

The optimist in me wants to believe it is in the FAA's interest to make doing the right thing as easy as possible. Glad to hear they actually took time to understand what you really needed and you got more than you expected!
