Family cruise (27 of us) dining questions

[tiderfan]

I probably should have asked this awhile back. There are 27 of us sailing on the Elation in mid-October. I booked all seven cabins directly w/Carnival. At time of booking, we were all having to waitlist for early dining, confirmed late. I had cross-referenced all bookings. Now I go online to learn that 7 people from our group (2 cabins) have cleared the waitlist. We really wanted it to be all or none, if possible. I thought I read that is how that did it-all or none.

 

Any ideas on how I should handle, or what I can do? Obviously would love to have some large tables. Thanks for your input!

Call Carnival directly - tell them you want all moved to early - or none. Double check that everthing is linked to ensure tables together.

 

Good luck.

We have 20 of us on the Spirit in Oct and we got our table right next to each other but it was an ordeal to do it but we had to contact carnival directly to do this...
