Is there a central thread highlighting the benefits of concierge?

We have a MDAS cruise coming up and I'm trying to figure out all of the concierge level amenities onboard so we can take advantage of them and decide if the next cruise will also be concierge or if the next one will be one step down. Are there areas of the ship limited to concierge guests?

I saw the sun deck on deck 12 and the lounge but what about the restaurants for dinner? I also read about "happy hour", is that in the lounge? and is it just for wine/beer? or does it include mixed cocktails? Limits?

Concierge does not have its own dining room. The concierge lounge and sundeck are the only areas restricted to concierge guests.
 
Is the dining room something that changes night to night?
In the reservation is says: You'll be seated for dinner at one of our 3 fine restaurants each night of your cruise.

The movie theater, does it play movies all day or just at designated times? I tried to find a schedule of what might be showing
but I could only find information that says MDAS cruises feature Marvel-centric movies. We wouldn't mind seeing them again
on a bigger screen than ours at home provided it isn't during dinner time!

There are 3 main dining rooms and you rotate through them all with your serving team.

They will be throughout the day. The schedule will be in your app once you're on board.

Which ship will you be on?
 
Happy hour is in the lounge from 5-10pm and includes a wide variety of cocktails in addition to beer and wine. They have a concierge cocktail menu but can make most common drinks. No limits in terms of number of drinks (I assume if you were blackout wasted they'd start saying no). You *can* get a drink made and take it with you to dinner or to the theater.

The hosts should tell you these things but other quick perks:
- Early access to the theater for the big stage shows
- Special character meet and greet towards the end of the cruise
- Generally using the hosts for anything you need instead of Guest Services

Have a great cruise! The Dream's lounge was recently redone and looks gorgeous :)
 
I saw in the list of amenities:
  • Complimentary 24-Hour Wi-Fi Internet Service: Enjoy Basic Surf Wi-Fi for each Guest in the stateroom at no extra charge. (Usage fees apply after the 24-hour package expires.)
Does this mean 24/7 during our stay or a total of 24 hours of logged in time for all devices used by those in the cabin?
I'm asking because of the unusual wording in the parenthesis.

There will be two nights that my wife, who's taking university extension courses for an MBE will need to be online, hence the wifi question, and it takes place during the designated dining time. Can only her dinner be brought to the room? while the rest of us go to main dining? I read in room dining would otherwise use the same server as the main dining room but no one can be in two places at once!

It means you have 24 hours worth of internet time. If you use that all up and need more you'd have to pay for it.

Are you in a suite? There’s regular room service she can order. MDR meals are only available to the suites.

Does she need to be online for class, or just access the assignments? WiFi can be spotty at times, especially for something like a zoom class.

We're in a Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, is that considered a suite?

Spotty as in frequent disconnects (but you can reconnect?) or spotty as in "good luck getting online"?

That isn’t considered a suite. A suite would be one bedroom or higher category.

I haven’t had any issue with the WiFi but i haven’t used it much to be fair.

The entertainment in the evening is designed around the dining schedule like when they have a Broadway show in Walt Disney Theater there’s an early show for 2nd dinner seating to go to while the 545 dining people are eating and then there’s a later performance for the 545 dining people to attend after dinner.

There’s movies that they play in the movie theater but they also use that space for activities like bingo. They also play movies on the funnel vision up on the pool deck.

It means once you activate it, you have 24 hours from that time. So if you need it on multiple days, you’ll have to pay after the initial 24 hours.
 
Okay, that was how I understood it. Her classes are 3 hours so she'll need 6 hours for that.
It is one 24-hour period included, not 24 hours of usage over various days for the course of the trip. So, if she has classes on two nights, say Tuesday and Thursday, the 24 hours would cover one night but not both nights.

Edit with an assist from @OKW Lover below, it is one 24-hour-period per person in the cabin.

Correct. But remember that the 24 hour period is per person. So you could use the other passenger's 24 hours for the second session.
