RetiredRay - Royal is the same way. Apparently what the cruise lines are providing now is the new normal. I am definitely not a fan of the changes.

Agree voyageforever, my last trip I was almost wondering if I was on a Carnival trip with a much more mature clientele. Between the app and the cutbacks, I am going to explore other options.
