We did the ship booked excursion in March of this year, in St. Martin. What they did was to monitor air, then shuffled partners according to consumption rates. The first pair went up at 500, with a DM escort to the up line. DM then returned to the group. 10 minutes later, my partner hit 500, (started with my wife, then finished with the husband of the couple we cruisd with.) and I, and finally, my wife and our friend. Worked well.
The only bad part I could see was being partnerd with someone you don't know, just lucky that out friends have near identical SAC's as ours.
