Definitely not worth worrying about. If you can't get a reservation in
the specialty restaurant you want, the food in the main dining room will
be equally good (or bad, as a few members of this NG told me when I
asked a similar question.)
Actually, the food in the main dining room was better than in a couple
of the specialty restaurants; we chose the French-themed restaurant for
formal night and it was a horrible, gloppy, over-sauced insult to real
French food. Save your money.
If, as you mentioned, you plan on dining at about 6pm, you will have no
trouble getting a table 'most anywhere.
You are supposed to relax and enjoy while on a cruise, so don't sweat
it, go with the flow. You will not be missing the gourmet treat of a
lifetime if you end up in the main dining room.
