Travel Auth Question

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I cannot find it...

We are two families chartering in late June, 7 people total. 4 adults, 3 children ages 17/16/15.

Question is: is Travel Authorization submitted by each individual, or can you submit as a family/group?
Follow up to that is if more than one can submit per Authorization, would we submit as 2 separate families, or as 1 group since we are traveling together?

Again, sorry if covered already, and thank you.

Every person has to complete an application but one person can do all and submit and use one email...I got this from Lynette Harrigan at BVI

I plan to do all for the 8 crew we have Jun 14

Thank you!

Also, note that you can identify other travelers in your party on your application but must pay individually for each traveler.

I completed the online application for both my wife and I. I did my first, then I was prompted if I wanted to add another person. It asks if you are filling it out for you or someone else. On the second entry for my wife, I selected it was for another person. It prompts you for a reason. I select "Other" and entered the reason as "family traveling together". All the authorizations and test results came back to my email address.

Convinced Ratman that, with yesterday's announcement, we need to go down. We've booked for May 25.

Has anyone seen an announcement of a reduction in the $175 fee? I'm wondering when to fill out the portal. We have to do it seven days ahead so they can re-inspect our house (doubt they will), but I know if we do it now and pay $175/each, we would never see a refund if the fee is lowered.
