I didn't have the State menu problem with this site, but I have had it in the past, although I can't remember where. It turned out that I was autofilling the spaces for name, address, etc. (as Chrome likes to do) and when I went back and manually entered the information, the state menu appeared. Sigh ...
Also had trouble taking my husband's picture on the site - it wouldn't save it. I uploaded one for me from my computer easily so I guess I'll do that for him too. Can't get the Boarding Passes without it apparently.
As for the embarkation time, I was given the time of 12:30 (only choice) and we're on the GV. I figure since we're being taken there from the hotel, I'm not worried about it.
