Linking dining times

We are booked for the seaside again next year. We will be travelling with 2 other groups. One is booked in a wellness room, the other in a fantastica.

We are currently booked in a fantastica but are contemplating changing it to get a drink package.

We may book an Aurea room and have the drink package included but then we would not be on the same deck as our other two parties.

We could drop down to s Bella balcony and purchase the drink package (thinking we don’t need the 12 drinks per person then)

Has anyone travelled with someone in Bella, fantastica and wellness and been able to link dining times together?

Other than the 12 drinks I don’t see a benefit for the fantastica rooms. We used room service once which we could have gone without. They also say fantastica has better located rooms which I could argue differently. On deck 10 the Bella are mid ship and fantastica are forward.

The only other issue is dining but last cruise even with fantastica we did not get our selected dining time and had to change it.
