Possibly going solo on Celebrity Reflection for a 4-night out of Ft. Lauderdale on 5/20. I’ve only cruised with others in the past and have only done my time dining. Just looking for a short getaway. I definitely want to have dinner with others. Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts on which would be better, a fixed nightly seating or my time at around 7:00? If I do a fixed time which would mean the same people each night, is it possible that they may put other solos at the same table if they are doing the same seating as me being that they would have this information in advance, or would I be better off doing my time and sit with different people each night?

Fixed times. You are very less likely to be seated with others at an "off" time than the fixed seatings. You will very likely be seated at the same table each night, unless you request an change. They use algorithms to put folks together who have commonalities: age range, country/preferred language, etc.  In the dark ages, they used to ask for occupation, religion, and level of education and factor in those too... Guessing that yes, solo cruisers will be seated together when possible,
