Dining schedule on Lirica first night

My wife and I are going on Lirica 1/31/07 and want to enjoy sailaway even though we are in early seating. Looking at daily postings on another site it appears no options to the dining room are open the day of sailing after 4:30? Since we probably will not board until 5 p.m., is the only option room service? It has been 14 years since we have been on a ship--and it was 37 years old at the time--with such limited optional dining or hours. Normally this would not be an issue, but my wife is working right up to almost the last minute so we will arrive later than usual for embarkation. Can someone who has sailed recently tell us the hours for the pizza & hot dogs, etc, on the first day?

We are scheduled to sail next Thursday and our TA got her info from the cruise ship that most of the food areas will be open during embarkation, including the fine dining areas.
