Lots of changes.

Fewer wait staff in the dining room -- used to be that the waiter and his assistant had 16 people -- now they have up to 26.

Two cabin stewards can have anywhere from 26 - 30 cabins to do.

Down to 4 shrimp in the shrimp coctails.

Fewer deck hands to clean up the towels etc, around the pools.

We Delux suite guests used to have a suite dinner on cruises of 10 days and longer.

Now have a Captain's Welcome Aboard toast -- no standing in line to meet the captain and have you picture taken with him.

No live music in the dining room on formal nights.

I might think of more later.
