are these calculations correct?

It is pretty close to the first of April.

Ship gets lighter as more fuel is destroyed. Ship gets heavier as it gets closer to light speed.

At 90% of light speed, the ship’s mass would be around 2.3x its rest mass.

I haven’t looked at your calculations in detail, but you seem to be missing that important point!
