David, are you the David on this cruise?? I think the intention is to share the bookings among the 13 LCTers on this cruise, at least to some extent, or as Greg says, fill the table with those on the wait-list. I like that idea, since it's nice to dine with a group most evenings, and making an individual reservation, you can't do that. Of course, once on board, they may ask for those pesky room numbers.

I don't intend to make any bookings, until I find out all the cordon bleu events. And we want to book La Verandah on one of the formal nights (to dodge it), and you can't book that online.
