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. 

How is the groups department contacted? We have a group of 20 sailing in December and want to arrange MDR seating.

PVP

I had been thinking about booking Rudi’s for our cruise. It looks delicious! We always love the steakhouse and teppanyaki so deciding if we should do a 3rd specialty dining.

So it depends how the cabins were booked.  There are amenities that come with group bookings, but not when you book them as individuals.  I would contact your PVP and ask.

Outstanding meal, the best we have had at sea.  Upscale, and each course was excellent.   This was our 6 time doing this restaurant (on MG and Cellebration).  Highly recommend it…do it.
