Group of 18 Adults, 14 were previous cruisers. Married and singles with ages ranging from 24 to 64. While we were a very diverse group we enjoyed a major passion of Ballroom Dancing.

We used a Travel Agency for booking. Travel Agency did group reservations for the shows and dinner (individually we could change any reservations we didn't want or add reservations on the RCI website). We had Main Dining Room early seating, 6 p.m. We had a table of 10 and a table of 8 next to each other. We would rotate people around the tables so we all had an opportunity to sit with each other sometime during the cruise. It was no problem getting reservations for a group of 18 approximately 3 months prior to sailing. Because we had a range of cabins, we could not get all the cabins co-located.
