Interesting that most (all?) companies I've worked for have considered it the company's aircraft - ultimately airport Duty Managers aircraft - until doors closed THEN you can fill your boots as the Captain and Commander.
The cabin is NOT your domain to manage, that's why you have a Cabin Manager. If/when the CM ever needs guidance or assistance or suggestions - and they come to you - then's the time to be involved.
I think you made a very poor decision for whatever reason and it may prove costly - hopefully not too costly.
Cheers.
