There may be a wait if you get there when they first start serving as a lot of people get the hurgry panic. Relax. It's a cruise vacation to enjoy. On NCl you has a choice to sit alone or with others. We went to the same resturant most of the time, had the same wait staff (actually the ships dining manager over all the food service) and had great service. The nice thing about it is that you aren't rushed to get to the dining room. You have to really mess up to miss a meal.
