My understanding is that you can't switch back and forth from fixed seating to walk up seating. If you miss your early time, you could go to the Lido or order room service, or make a reservation beforehand at the Pinnacle.
I (a solo woman traveler) did not have that experience on Zuiderdam (Panama Transit Oct). I switched from traditional late to open. Went anytime etween 7 and 8, waited a little with a discount drink, 10 to 4 at a table whereever there was a seat. Met interesting people and had great variety of companions. Remember: like a bycycle: you can always get off!
