Complimentary restaurants - reservation?

[Carol Loves to Cruise]

First time on NCL - very excited about the large number of different dining options.  I’ve made reservations at 2 of the specialty dining.  Do we need  to make reservations at the complimentary restaurants like American Diner, O’Sheehan’s Bar & Grill, or is it walk up/wait list?

The main dining room accepts reservations (at least on some ships) but American Diner and O’Sheehan’s/The Local do not - they are strictly first come/first serve.

 

American Diner is rarely busy because many aren’t aware of it, or that it’s complementary (it used to be upcharge).

 You can’t make reservations at the Diner or O’Sheeha’s/Local. Depends on the ship but you may only be able to make reservations at the main MDR that’s at the back of the ship. But unless you have a large group it’s really not necessary.
