When we normally lead groups, prior to the cruise, we work with the groups department on seating (number of tables, size of tables), things like that. On this cruise, we had a bunch that were doing ATD and (16 of us, mostly our family, and some friends) that wanted late seating (not my favorite, but cruising with family, so what the heck).
We had asked foe two tables of 8, and when we got on we found we had not gotten that. We went sown to the Palm restaurant and met with one of the asst maitre’d and they told us they would take care of it. They did.
