Yep, as long as you specifically bought the ones that come with the proctored service like we did you'll be just fine.

We still have the Navica app on our phone from last year. You can still download the app without issue. Set up your account ahead of time and when ready to begin the test, just scan the QR code on the box (don't open it), connect and go. We're using these for our Odyssey TA on the 31st. Very easy process and no appointments necessary.

I buy my coffee by the 2-3lb bag at Costco in whole bean but don't buy the fancy stuff so know exactly what you're talking about! Although once a year I do order a pound of Kona from Hawaii as a treat. Included coffee onboard isn't great, but perfectly fine and I'll happily drink it all day long.

The current window is open until I believe Tuesday but they've already announced they're not going to attempt in there. Next window technically runs 19 Sep-4 Oct but there's a manned flight scheduled for the 3rd and they won't mess with that. Looks likely for the window opening 17 Oct now.

If you sign up for the four device plan, you setup a login and are allowed 4 devices connected at any one time. You are free to keep it for yourself, share it with friends, or share it with a complete stranger if you'd like. Nothing against the rules there at all so feel free to go for it.

In theory they charge you $10 or similar if you order multiple entrees, however, reports vary widely if that is enforced.  Other possible extras are ordering "premium" options (lobster and a few others in Chops for example) or going over your allowance per visit in venues like Playmakers/Portside BBQ ($20 per visit, per person) and Izumi Sushi ($35 per visit).
We have had UDP multiple times and always ended up with a $0 receipt at the end.

Agree with @twangster.  Flying down next Thursday, need to test Friday/Saturday for a Sunday sailing.  I have the eMed proctored kit for my hotel but made an appointment at a CVS down the street from my hotel as a backup for a rapid test.  They had a ton of open slots and if no issues with the eMed I'll just cancel.
Lots of places in the area, and many like CVS/Walgreens will let you schedule online in advance.

I use Kayak for broad searches but like Ray, use the links to buy directly from the airlines.

Looking forward to those days.  Flying into Miami 3 days early for Oasis and my packing list now includes:
Passport
Masks
2 EMed Covid tests...  not much extra stuff, just remembering it all.

I know water is very subjective, but even with the DBP I routinely still drink the tap water in both dining venues and in our stateroom and find it just fine for my tastes.  Still use a fair bit of bottled for workouts, walking around the ship, etc but not beholden to it.
To the OPs question there is flavored waters, juices (from machines), black coffee, some basic teas and the like.  These are widely available throughout the ship and CocoCay without having to purchase any sort of access to venues or packages.  Same goes for food on the island.

I bought a similar style to this for my last deployment and they're priceless.  Will definitely come in handy when we go to Rome for the Odyssey TA next fall.  Normally onboard we bring our multi-port charger and it's worked well. 

Depending on seasonal pricing, the Hilton Downtown and Marriott Biscayne Bay are located right next to each other and can be reasonable.  Close to the port and places in/around downtown.  If you'll have a rental car, some of the Blue Lagoon hotels out near MIA have good rates and accessible to everywhere.

Bearded Clam is our favorite but Pirate Republic is very good as well.  Both are fairly close to each other so try them both!

I had an ex back in high school who worked at an ice cream shop and could do something close to that, it was impressive!  Sadly, as others have mentioned I don't find that the machines onboard hold up to that sort of engineering marvelry.

Yes and I see that and have seen that for a while now.  
When you listen to the experts and remove the political noise the experts are warning that may not be the case.  
Ten years from now we’ll all be back to old ways talking about what a son of a gun this pandemic was.  
Five years from now we should all be back to old ways talking about what a son of a gun this pandemic was.  
Two years from now we might all be back to old ways talking about what a son of a gun this pandemic was.  
One year from now we will still be dealing with this thing talking about what a son of a gun this pandemic is.  

What's the difference between a canoe and a Canadian?  A canoe tips.  
Canadian myself who happens to live in the US so I understand the tipping differences between the US and Canada.
Far from a bar fly I've spent enough time at bars that I do see them slammed at times, no different than a popular bar on land compared to a ship.  Hang around a bar long enough and there are times any bartender can chat, on land or at sea.  
I've rarely found the MDR bar service to be better than elsewhere, possibly never.

You mean we finally get to eat food that hasn't been touched and put back by kids and some disgusting adults?  The amount of things you can observe in just a minute or two in the buffet line (anywhere not just a cruise) is absolutely disgusting.

Pretty sure there hasn't been a definitive plan announced yet.  However, if I were a betting man, I don't believe we'll be serving ourselves anytime soon.  What that will look like or form the WJ will take is anyone's guess.  I've heard suggestions of a modified food court style eatery which I'd be interested in.  

We used the UDP on Navigator back in November at Playmakers as soon as we boarded.  There were a few people getting drinks in there, but almost no one getting food.  Other than our server being a little unfamiliar with the UDP it was a very pleasant experience and the food was good.

That's awesome news!
