Nice Cruise, But Cutbacks Getting Annoying

Grandeur, GS 8016
First time in a Royal Caribbean full suite! To our delight, we received an email from Francis, our Suite Concierge the week before our cruise.
Complimentary drinks in the Windjammer were self-service. The only drinks the staff offered to bring to our table were for fee drinks. Windjammer was packed the times we visited, couples occupying tables for our. At least one couple said they were waiting for someone, but on the way out, no one had joined them.
Cabin Review
Grand Suite
The Grand Suite was wonderful and quiet. Very uncomfortable furniture with no back support. Could not watch television from the sofa. We found furniture in the Junior Suites on other Vision Class ships much better. They painted our balcony railing which meant I could no longer attach our gorillapod to the railing for long exposure pictures. One of the cabin supervisors examined our bathroom, and told me to always wear shoes or slippers because I could pick up all sorts of germs off the floors. Made wonder if they don’t clean as well as they might. This was our third full suite! The floor plan was better than our Sky Suite on Century. But we liked the floor plan on the Sapphire Princess a lot better. Like the Sapphire Princess, the Grandeur offered a special suite breakfast in one of the specialty dining rooms. We also had access to the Concierge Lounge. The Sapphire Princess got us into the Platinum and up nightly reception, while the Sky Suite on Century offered us afternoon tea brought to our cabin, cappuccinos and the services of a superb butler. Our concierge contacted us the week prior to our cruise and we spoke with him on the phone with some shore excursion questions. The marvelous way he handled our disembarkation was the best we've had in over 20 cruises! We met in the concierge lounge, and he called us to the elevator and brought us directly down to deck one without any intermediate stops.
