what is a head steward?

Leads the team who cleans your cabin daily. S/he will introduce themselves to you on the first day of the cruise.

It's like $250 for an hour long massage

There are other cheaper treatments. I usually go for a shave or facial. They also will discount services at various times on board or while the ship is in port. I don’t drink, either, so I look at that as my alcohol bill.

Is it easy to just get to the beach somewhere and snorkel?

---

Depends on the port. Some ports don’t have much to do nearby. Others can be sketchy which is why I book with the ship sometimes.

I booked all of my excursions through the ship my first time because I wasn’t sure what to expect.

do all of the boats of casino's? I don't recall seing any mention of one on our boat, Mariner of the Seas.

---

All RCCL ships have casinos. Most lines do. Those that don’t advertise as such and cater to cruisers who don’t like the casino atmosphere.

Look up a deck plan map or check out a ship tour video on YouTube.

If i buy liquor in Cozumel, can i bring it back on the boat? I assume you can and they just keep it until the end of the cruise

Yes. They’ll drop it off to your room the last night of the cruise or designate a place to pick it up.
