So we went through the portal process for a 7/3 charter but failed to upload the health insurance cards. Since there's no way to amend a submitted application - will we need to completely re-apply (except for the covid/antibody test)? No. When it's reviewed they will send you an email to upload the test results and fix the cards

For what it's worth, we were down the first 10 days of June with two families from different parts of the country (one Orlando, one Phoenix). Each family did their own submission to the portal, using two separate emails. This was needed for us for some of the same reasons you outline....different travel times, different testing times, and the need to comply with the 48 hour window.
We had no issues having the submissions separated, outside of the normal lag/delay in getting approvals from the portal. As others have mentioned, the most important thing is that each submission is completed with all required info from the outset. As long as you do that, you should be good.

Thank you! Yes, your previous post has been very helpful and I am still referencing it now- much appreciated.
My concern now is that the other family we are traveling with may not have all of their documentation (PCR results, specifically) before 48 hour window to start submission. I have all documentation for my family ready to go. We travel Monday. Because of external timing issues, the best window for me to fill out for my 4 family members is this evening. So I am wondering if it is wiser to just do the submission for my family tonight and have other family do their submission when they are ready and use same email/phone. Just not sure if that will confuse the system.
Sorry if I am missing an obvious solution...
In those circumstances do it now...you might end up travelling light. We have met a few people like that in our travels down here. Herding cats through the portal was a giant PIA. sorry i didnt mean to be short

Update. We are now 36 hours post submission, and 24 hours out from travel tomorrow AM. So far, I have received 7 of 8 BVI approvals and 1 of 8 USVI approvals. My observation is that the BVI approvals have come in batches associated with last names- so all of my families (same last name) came through within 5 minutes of each other about 12 hours after submission. In the case of the other family, husband and daughter share same last name, and their approvals came in together about 12 hours after my families. The wife has a different last name and we are still waiting for her approval. As for USVI, my daughter, the youngest of our party was approved within 10 minutes of Portal submission on Friday night while the rest of us remain "Pending".
So, we are 24 hours out from departure. At what point do I start emailing?
