JFK-DXB in C, what to Expect?

I'm traveling JFK-DXB-MRU on 8/18 on the 340-500, and every review I find is of Y or F, so does anyone have any idea at all what its like back there in cattle... I mean economy class?

Does the ICE have the same programming as in Y and F? Is there a power port for laptops? Is wi-fi operational?

I'm not really as interested about the DXB-MRU runs, because those (8/20 down and 8/26 back) seem to be on older aircraft and they're overnight and it seems like they're not much to speak of one way or the other.

What's the meal service on these flights though? Leaving at 11:30PM I would assume there's just breakfast and then lunch, but it lands at 8PM DXB time so is there Dinner too to combat jetlag? How about to MRU, leaving at 2:55AM and arriving at 9AM? And on the return, MRU-DXB leaves at 11PMish and arrives at 6AMish, so is that like breakfast or nothing? And DXB-JFK at 8AM, Breakfast then Lunch?

I tried to look this up online but the flights seem sold out so I couldn't do the first class trick.
