I've been on K'dam twice, early fixed dining both times. We were on the upper level, so we didn't have to deal with the line for open seating. With so many people wanting the early dining time, I don't know why HAL doesn't make early fixed available for more people. If early fixed dining uses the whole upper level, why not use some of the lower level, too? 

We have sailed on both the K'dam and and Niew Statendam.  Both times we had early fixed dining, both times we were seated on the lower level, and both were excellent dining experiences.  We have also had early fixed dining, seated on the lower level on other classes of ships. Never been an issue.
