With the prices they are charging it woukd not surprise me to see them keep the tribute bands on this ship.
There are many things that are different than other ships thst obviously have added expenses for the cruise line. A couple examples are the additional free venues, not only the food vast but all the extra staff and they ate open later. There are at least 8 towel stations, all open and staffed all dsy unlike Oasis which has 4 but usually only one is open.
People talk about differences between suites and regular cabins on ships, this is very similar only comparing ship to ship with a higher level of service and staffing on this ship compared to others. Hopefully it will last and not fall to the same cutbacks that have hit other ships.
