If I'm ranking, I'd say Oceanview, Central Park, Boardwalk. Caveat is that I'd book Boardwalk balcony over any deck 14 balcony. Too much noise from directly  above when you're on Deck 14. 

So for comparison's sake, I just did a Canadian passport renewal for my younger daughter, and UK renewals for my wife and older daughter.
For the Canadian passport, I walked into a Service Canada location on July 20. They said that the new passport should be delivered to us by Aug 25. I'll update when I get it.
For the UK passports, I did the application online + sent the digital photo. As there is no rush for these passports, I sent via registered mail on July 22. They are currently in transit to the UK.

Same here. If it's available I'll get it. If it's not it's no big deal.

I've done the drink card thing on a 7-day cruise.  I much prefer that over the drink package which I will never drink enough to make it worth it.  

In that case, @Lovetocruise2002 what time is your pool open these days?

I seem to have forgotten an important one - lanyards.

One year we bought the magnetic dry marker boards (we were in four rooms) and beach toys for the kids when we got to Fort Lauderdale. 
 
At home, at Dollarama, I buy the silicone travel bottles as they seem to leak much less vs the solid plastic ones. And travel packs of wipes - the disinfectant type like Clorox and ones to clean your hands like Wet Naps.

confirmed Canadians can get PCR test on board free of charge out of Galveston.  @Marlena @KWong
 

Who or what is "Super Mario"? The only thing I that comes to mind wears red suspenders and hops on angry mushrooms and flying turtles!

Locate the nearest set of connecting cabins (designated with a double-sided arrow).
"Standing" in the hallway, the room on the right will have the bed near the slider.
The orientation alternates so just go down until you come to the cabin you are interested in and you will know if your bed will be near the sliders or near the bathroom.

Thanks KWong & Linda!

Agree with you on the first line. I found the MDR coffee to be barely drinkable once it got even slightly cooled off, and the stuff in the WJ was no better. But if you're saying that Starbucks coffee (or the Lavazza brand served on some of the ships' coffee venues) is no better than the stuff at Micky-D's, well... we're gonna have to have a LONG talk, my friend. ? 
Believe me, I don't think Starbucks is the best by any measure, and it's definitely overpriced. But at least their blonde roast and the Lavazza brand on board is good enough that I can drink it with a small splash of milk and no sugar, and still be able to drink it without wondering if they thinned the coffee with turpentine or something.

Not that high a bar to clear.

I'm surprised that the 19-20yo crowd hadn't thought of that in order to get into Windsor.
 
Yeah I get the feeling that the feds are working with their US counterparts to get a common set of standards for exit/entry. AZ not being approved in the US could be a sticking point, seeing as a lot of Canadians (myself included) have gotten at least one shot of that.

I've spoken with RCL social media team and they advised they only offer an antigen test on board.  Although I would certainly believe as I you have pointed out that they would have lab capabilities.  

For any other Canadians monitoring the thread I will update as soon as I hear back anything more official as antigen test will not cut it for us at present time.

Let's hope so. Wish the cruise lines would do the tests, and just charge us. Some of the AI resorts I've looked at include tests in their cost, which is nice.
If you need to stay in Houston, go to 100% Taquito at Southwest Freeway and Buffalo Speedway. Ummm, I've got nothing outside of that.
I've got the AZ/Moderna combo, so I'm hoping that won't be an impediment to a) getting into the US and b) cruising.

Our PHO said that there are discussions happening and it looks like all vaccines recognized by the WHO will be accepted, whether they are approved in certain countries or not (she specifically referenced US recognizing AZ)
 
The VAST majority of UK has been jabbed with AZ - so a minority of Canadians that received it (me included) need not worry.  

You should come to Toronto (after... you know) and check out Fishman Lobster Clubhouse. The lobster is expensive, but they're huge.
I'm gonna link to a google search for pics here.

My waiter on the Harmony in 2017 must have realized that I was going to order A LOT of lobsters, so he probably told the kitchen to stop the fancy plating by Lobster #4...

... and just brought me a plate of lobster tails.

If Trudeau will open those borders, I can tell you soon.  I have FR booked for August.  Fully vaxxed and ready to go.  As soon as they open that border!

Just got my second dose in Ontario, Canada, and our proof of vaccination is a pdf from the government. Would these be acceptable? 

Not travelling until January, so I'm sure everything will change between now and then, but doesn't hurt to ask.
