I’m coordinating a 48-person multigenerational group for a late May sailing out of Port Canaveral and trying to keep cabin clusters tight while locking the 8:15 dining and a comedy club block without over-scheduling. If you’ve handled split arrivals (two MCO shuttles an hour apart) and still kept everyone together for sailaway and a karaoke takeover, what’s worked for you — color-coded lanyard groups, a shared chat, or pre-set meet points like Deck 5 midship at 3:30?
We used WhatsApp live location; later MCO shuttle met at sailaway, ‘8:15 dining’ locked via a quick Google Form…
Color wristbands by cabin and a pinned ‘Rally: Deck 12, 3:30.’ One lead booked comedy; smooth despite split shuttles.

Small tweak that’s worked for us: our remote attorney runs a 9 a.m. day‑of‑close ‘gap check’ with title to confirm bring‑down, recording cutoff, and wire instructions — stopped two fundings from slipping. Minor caveat: it only sticks if it’s a recurring calendar hold with @AlexKim’s team.
I’ve had best luck sending two “runners” straight to the dining changes desk at boarding with a printed list of all booking numbers — when pre‑linking failed, they still locked our 8:15 for 44 and we dropped the extras after muster. For split shuttles, we gave everyone a wallet card that read “Rally: Schooner Bar, Deck 6, 3:45 — blue hat,” which made sailaway and the karaoke hand‑off painless; if that bar gets swamped on your ship, pick an open deck rail instead.
For the eight $9,900 deposits, we start at ‘initial detection,’ not alert; timestamped case notes — see https://www.fincen.gov/resources/filing-information/fin-cen-sar-faqs…
