Is Concierge "worth it"?

Sorry I'm confused.

There are are always sharing tables in the MDR and our preffered size is a table for six. We have Any Time Dining pre booked for 6.30 and on boarding, due to my wife's mobility /pain issues,  X kindly let's us have the same table of 6 every night and we share with different people. 

I thought they had stopped having sharing tables for anytime dinning at the restart

We sailed Concierge once on Millennium.  Paid a few hundred extra pp.  Nothing special about it really from a regular balcony cabin.  For some concierge services you can use the Captain's Club host on board.  We never did it again.

It's been available on all the cruises we have taken since the re-start. Many nights we do it to meet new people...but if we are exhausted from excursions we stick to a table for 2.

for the first few cruises  there were lots of restrictions including only being allowed off on organised excursions, leaving spaces in the theatre, not sharing tables in the MDR - all restrictions long gone.

There was a time when on an M class ship, the two cabins in each aft corner were Family View (FV), and all of those between were Concierge Class (C1).  If we couldn't snag an FV, we would sometimes book a C1 for the extra veranda space and the view, but not for any other reason.  We never used the 'concierge' and didn't usually need the canapes. 

 

Now those C1 cabins (apart from the accessible one on each deck) are reclassified to Sunset Veranda, and are priced above the Concierge Class.

 

It took years for Celebrity to figure out that there was a reason that all of the FV cabins and all of the C1 cabins on the stern were always booked (especially the old FV class), and it took until just a couple of years ago for them to start monetizing it.  Now they're Sunset Suites and Sunset Veranda cabins.

Do they still have sharing tables ? 
 

Yes they do and I love having the option to decide if I want to dine solo or with others. If I'm not rushed for time I will eat with others and its always been a good experience.
