I've just hit the platinum level and have a question about boarding. Previously I paid for Priority Boarding and the order was 1. people who needed extra assistance, 2. higher latitude levels, 3. priority boarding, 4. group 1 etc. Does Platinum get me into the second group or is it just even higher levels ? Also, if I am sharing a cabin with someone who isn't platinum, can they board with me or do I have to abandon them in the waiting area ?
Also, with the two extra speciality dining options, do I just make a reservation and then say that I want to use my Platinum reward ?
Thanks for any guidance.
