Made 3 attempts to get a cappuccino on deck 5 of Piazza. First two got canceled, even though I didn’t remember canceling them. Third attempt was masterminded by @abbydancerwho has more experience with the medallion than I do. The difference was, she caused the app to move to a different screen after the order, whereas I clicked the submit button and let it sit on the same screen. The third order was delivered. I don’t think it SHOULD have cancelled my first two attempts, but I will be more careful based on this experience.

They were testing the website with an ideal "spherical cruise ship in a vacuum" 🙂 I can't imagine them naming a ship "Spherical Princess" 😞

We got to the hotel just fine. Thanks again for the information. The Canadian Govt decided to randomly test one of us, and the email didn’t get through until we got to the hotel. So we had to find one of the contracted drug stores and get tested. That was a scene. Honestly, I don’t think it’s an advantage to test at the near-airport site. It just locates you away from the airport after your test. There probably are taxis and such there, but I don’t know if there are as many options. Could have done without that step if it were up to us.

Thanks for the response. Fortunately we have a nonstop flight to YVR so the bags won't have a tricky journey and our arrival timing leaves us some margin. Once in Buenos Aires we had a 10pm flight out and the ship kicked us out at the usual time. We took a ship excursion to the airport by way of some attractions and we were at the airport at ... 12:30pm. And the counters didn't open until 5 or so because the planes weren't leaving until 8. So we dragged our bags around to two different eateries within the land-side concourse. And it seemed like the entire girls softball (I think) community of the city was going out on our flight, to Miami. Fun.

DW and I are doing this on a different schedule so my questions are different. We arrive on the morning July 29th for a cruise on July 31st, and return in the afternoon of the 7th to San Diego. Backup plan for COVID test-- We are planning to bring a tests with us and use them at the hotel. Is there a place near the Pan Pacific to get a test while we are there? Does anyone know if it is convenient to print paper documents in the vicinity of Pan Pacific? Cabs from Airport -- We are used to taking cabs from JFK into Manhattan; once also within FLL. It doesn't look like the train will work for us because putting luggage in our laps would not physically suit us as it would suit most people. How are the cabs? I assume that "signs will direct" us to where the cabs pick up. Is that accurate? Cabs to Airport -- Where to get a cab and when for 5PM flight on a Sunday? Private Car instead of Cab on either end? We did this once in 2017 and while it was a nice way to see part of Vancouver, any thoughts about cab vs car would be welcome. Our airline schedule on the 7th appears pretty loose so as long as we get to the gate on time it should be okay.
