I find that on the first night there are more people who want to dine in CR and then there are less people in the specialty restaurants so I find service at it's peak. Just my preference for us. We've done that on our last 4 cruises and unless we have dinner plans with others in CR, what we prefer. Last two cruises - WAVE and MUSH - we dined wtih friends in Signatures and it was perfection.
