Sent mine in end of May got it back 8-20 the day of embarkation! Had to go to the post office and pray it was still there and not on the delivery driver's vehicle. Lucky me got my passport with just a few hours to boarding time. Talk about cutting it close!!

Mailed my kids passports to be renewed on July 20th. (Being minors under 16 we had to go in person to the post office ect like a new passport.) Paid for expedited and we recieved their new passports in the mail on Monday, just one day shy of 4 weeks. Of course, now that our late October cruise on Radiance is cancelled so we won’t need them until early next year…At least we are ready for the next 5 years now. 

I have a few, but was told “what happens on the RC Blog group cruise, stays on the cruise ship”!

45 days out on our Indy sailing and getting same thing. I was able to get it all done on another sailing that’s 80 something days out. Seems to vary. 

Got Approved today, should be here by 8/22. Seems within range discussed here.

Simple adult renewal, didn't expedite as promised times were normal back then, mailed May 7th, check cashed June 7th and went to IN PROCESS status until approved last Friday the 13th of August and was received in today's mail.  So a mere 100 days or 14 weeks plus a smidge....  ?

My older daughter just got her UK passport today. Application was July 20, mailed from Canada to the UK on July 22, and just received via DHL today (Aug 17). So exactly 4 weeks, which seems pretty good for a non-expidited overseas application.
Meanwhile, my wife's was just approved so I should see it next week.
As for the younger daughter's, nothing yet.
I should also note that HM Passport Office has been emailing every time we've gotten a step further in the process. Radio silence from Passports Canada. Definitely like the UK process better.

UPDATE
Grandson's passport arrived on Monday August 16th.  27 days total from the day we had our appointment at the PO.
Its a new passport, he's never had one before and we did pay the expedite fee.
Can't believe the difference in processing times for a passport.  And there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for the process.
His mother had her appointment at the PO on August 4th and as of yesterday it says processing so we shall see how long it is for her to get it.  she also is getting a first time passport.  I wonder if because he is a child it somehow is a faster process?  
 

Approved and should receive by 08/20!

Fixed that for you...

HI;
My son's passport had expired. He sent the old passport and required paperwork in on July 6. NOT expedited. It arrived on Aug 13!  Not bad.
Also my son-in-law's passport is due to expire in Sept. He sent his in expediated and it took about 3 weeks from start to finish.
