I think one of the big factors is what cabin are you booked in, what are you bidding up to, how many are bidding on your current cabin and how much revenue will 3 move ups generate, vs one. (I know, more than one factor but you get the idea.)
Passport or certified birth certificate and photo 🆔. Credit card. Express pass can be printed or on your phone. Luggage tags are on the last page of the cruise docs.
Ours was one of the 1st ones to be laid off and she had worked for RC and Celebrity for years. We were never assigned a new one and never pursued it because we have no interest in booking another cruise any time soon.
They might enjoy the show and food at La Petie Chef. If you want to do the Chef's Table book it as soon as it is available on line. Usually it is only once per cruise and sells out, especially for a holiday sailing. Most of the dining for a holiday cruise takes a while to show up on line and they didn't offer the dining packages on these sailings.
New Years Eve will be a chic night and there will be parties throughout the ship.
I noticed a sign at the taxi stand at Port Everglades about inter terminal transfers. I think it had a cost posted, not that the taxi drivers follow the rules.
Check in time for retreat is the same as other classes. However, you can board at anytime once boarding begins. For example if you have a 2pm boarding time you can ignore it and arrive at 11am.

There were people there before us.
Be careful cancelling and rebooking. Make sure you have a refundable deposit, the price is not higher, and the perks are the same. You should be able to change cabins as long as it is in the same class.
We expected the Caribbean to be a lot hotter in early September than it is in the winter months but that was not the case.
We are more concerned about travel from PA to FL.
