What you describe is impossible. You cannot have people in different cabins on the same PNR; the system simply doesn't work that way. At some point -- perhaps on the outbound -- your PNRs were split. That also explains why you would have had to check each person in separately. If they were on a single PNR, you wouldn't have had to do that.

Once the PNRs are split, all bets are pretty much off in terms of who gets priority within the travel group.
