The menu has changed with far less options, and the food went from amazing in November to just okay. They are REALLY pushing the paid dining options, and I think a strategy is to make the free main dining experience less appealing.
There are generally three people who help you with your cruise: a main server, an assistant server, and a room attendant. In the past they have been fantastic. I am wondering if Royal issued a pay cut to employees because all the workers seemed just plain sad, and the service was pretty bad. Moving around the ship, the morale of the crew seemed really somber, too. Not the typical smiles and greetings, and some crew would even mutter stuff under their breath as we passed by. Several times I heard crew making fun of or hating on "Americans".
The cruise was also woefully crowded. Not a seat to spare, and despite there being signage to not save seats or deck chairs, everybody still did it without so much as a prompt from the crew. It was impossible to sit anywhere but your room, and lines for anything were unbelievably long. That's typical on a cruise, but this one was over the top.
Two other things... the ship constantly smelled like weed. There are smoking sections, but nobody cared to follow that rule, so every inch smelled like nasty, skunky weed.
Then at night, 12 am to 3 am, somebody in a nearby stateroom was blasting loud music. After complaints from several nearby staterooms, the crew did nothing to stop it or help.
I used to love cruises... now I don't think I'll go on one again.

That's not to say you can't find a deal if you are a persistent shopper. The main thing is to cruise when demand is low .. when school is in session, when it is the height of hurricane season, when the ports of call are out of high season, etc. To understand this, note that the least expensive time of the year to cruise is the first half of December. The most expensive time of year to cruise in the last half of December. Otherwise, same cruise.
Cruise ships (which still need planes, trains, and automobiles to get too) are a million-to-one more wasteful than any other type of vacation. Or do you think a floating city with dozens of 24/7 buffets and daily linen changes all powered by diesel fuel is 'green?' Heck, you could probably go to edge of space with Bezos with less of an impact on the environment and landfills.
Not against cruise ships but try to think your point out a little better next time.
