Review summary

Royal Caribbean has seen fit to reduce staff in several areas. One is the wait staff in the Promenade Cafe. One person behind bar to make Starbucks coffee and to serve the food and pastries and keep coffee made in the urns. 

The wait staff in the dining room was reduced and the waiters had more tables to take care of. Service was good but slow. The lines for Starbucks was 10 to 15 in the morning to order and the same amount waiting for their orders. While the line for pastries was also long.
