Tangent- how did you get sons girlfriend in cabin by herselfb if 19? They would not let us book our 19 year old without an over 21 (although they told us we could switch once on board).
A 19 yr old should be ok as lead on a reservation as long as there is nobody under 18 booking into the same cabin. Unless something has changed, passengers age 18-19-20 can be booked into a stateroom with others of similar age. Minors (under age 18) must be booked into a stateroom with someone age 21 or older. The exception is if the minor(s) is a child of the young adult under 21.
OP, I'm not sure if your complaint refers to online check-in or checking-in at the terminal for embarkation. If online, go ahead with your advanced check-in date; have the others check-in on the appropriate (gold, newbie) date and try for the same activities you have booked. If you are concerned about adult dining, they can almost always work that out especially since it sounds like you aren't a large party. If your complaint is in reference to actual embarkation day, I honestly wouldn't worry about it. You can always ask if the other cabin could check-in and board with you, but as others have pointed out as long as they have an early PAT it's literally a matter of a minutes between Platinum boarding and regular boarding numbers. While I can understand your frustration, I wouldn't stress over it.
Enjoy your cruises!
