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.

MSC I'm just learning on. Got my first freebie from myvegas slots, did my usual budget and they approached me with a 30% certificate. That one you have to hit points, the higher the better. But when I got home, I saw they had some excellent deals that you could combine that 30% with. I am booked for mothers day out of Brooklyn 7 day caribbean, premium balcony for 933, plus 200 onboard credit (so 733)
My vegas is 3rd party, you never know when you're going to get a chance to redeem your loyalty points. You play My Konami slots, My Vegas slots on phone, My Vegas classic slots on desktop, My vegas black jack, on phone. And I think MGM slots (not sure). The points all go to one My vegas account. I've been doing it for years. I don't go to vegas where most of the offers are with an occasional atlantic city and other places. I save them. My vegas has a redemption page with all the things you can get within the app. But when the cruises come out, it's a feast. You had better be quick. I've managed, Royal, Carnival & MSC with this. MSC was just this past August. NCL has been on and off for the past 2 weeks. Them I won't get into. I only redeemed one December of 2019. When the shutdown occurred in March, they didn't want to play nice, so I won't give them a penny. So I don't have much info, but you do have to pay admin fees of 20 per day per person on their freebie.
All these free cruises, you pay taxes & port fees, tips, soda & alcohol, and upgrades, unless you happen to come in with a deal for the alcohol & upgrades.
I'm sure others may have something to add with this. There are plenty of FB pages on MyVegas. You can also find casino pages for the different cruiselines to get more ideas.

It's approximately: (914+226)*2*.70 + 226*2, probably a coincidence though.
