Thank you for this information! 

Check-in will open at midnight in whatever time zone from which your cruise is departing (so EDT in Florida, PDT in LA or Seattle/Vancouver, etc).
Yes, I was up at 2am my time to secure an early boarding time for my Alaskan cruise. 🙂

And I take TERRIBLE selfies!

I completely agree with @FionaMG.  I have read far too many posts of folks who were already booked in a balcony, then bid and won a RU to a “higher” category of balcony just to be disappointed and feel as if their “upgrade” was no upgrade at all.  My advice is….if you are already in a balcony, do not bid on another balcony category.  Just bid on JS or higher.
I’m sure there are people who have upgraded their balcony room to another balcony category and been delighted with the results…but personally, I would not take that chance.

We almost mutineed with the Adventure Ocean situation last year 😂

Takes the time to create an account, just to complain………….

As you turn into the terminal area, there are workers directing traffic and they’ll point you to a spot to drop off your luggage with a waiting handler. Then pull forward to the entrance of the parking garage. An attendant will hand you a ticket with the advice to ‘not leave it in the car…you’ll need it to pay before you go back into the garage’. Then you park and as soon as you walk out of the garage, the terminal entrance is steps away.

It's easy breezy there don't worry, drop your bags off, drive 50 more ft to the parking garage, park and walk 50 ft back to the terminal.

Agree with 1st Mate....the parking garage is not that far.

As I remember it, you can do either.  If you aren't traveling alone, I'd drop off your party and luggage, park, and return to the pier.  

Has anyone parked at Cape Liberty Cruise Port in NJ. I’m trying to figure out the process, if you drop your bags off before car or park the car and bring the bags to the cruise port?

Good to see you on the boards again, @monctonguy.  It’s been a while

Ugh.  Frankly I’m surprised that they are only mandating this through 1-5-22.  What a PITA

Virtual work has been proven......pay for the wifi and take your laptop 😉
Deduct the cost of the cruise as a business expense for office space.

Lol, so it takes 2 weeks for their systems and/or IT department to catch up and figure stuff out.   Well I have time, My cruise isn't until June 2022.  Allure of the seas btw.

I do have credits. 
You can only see credits if you add something to the cart and right before payment, it's asking how you want to pay, credits or credit card 

That might be a link to the issue. They probably didn't qa their updates against records with credits.

I picture a TV commercial featuring Bubba Gump...
 
There's, uh, almond butter, almond milk, Almond Joy, almond extract, Jordan almonds, almond flour, almond oil, almond paste, marzipan, almond cream..."

Looks like the title needs to be updated...  Alaska is not a total loss.

Right now there are 210 people on-line watching an empty cruise ship come into port. lol

When you sit down at a nice restaurant and wish you could try everything on the menu without worrying you won't like it.

When an alert pops up on your phone and you think "Wait, Celebrity Cruises had a talk show?  For 19 years? How did I not know this?"
 

Since Odyssey is sailing to the US to FL, what about a repo to Seattle via the Canal?

I sit at my computer watching on PTZtv, cruise ships entering and leaving different ports. 

I have to be honest..I have stopped watching and reading and looking.
 
Doesn't matter to me now when it re-starts as wearing masks is a no-go for me. I would say my Nov cruise will be a lost cause for sure.
 
If we need 95% of cruises vaccinated with TWO doses and we still have to wear a mask....that's just insane.
