We have been on elite cruises both pre and post pandemic. I will say post pandemic, the elite events are seriously lacking. Pre covid, there was usually 2-3 elite only events per day, where you could win freeplay, gifts, chefs table, etc. You were almost guaranteed to get called for at least one event per cruise. Now, there is one event per night. sometimes only 1-2 people called. It was kind of disappointing, especially when you know what it used to be.
