What changes will we notice -last RCCL cruise was 10 years ago?

[Tudorcruisers]

We last sailed with RCCL approx 10 years ago and enjoyed all the cruises and then itineraries, dates etc has had us cruising with NCL, celebrity and P&O.

 

Out of those Celebrity has been our favourite. We will be sailing on Serendade of the seas in September and I'm just wondering if there have been any major changes we will notice.
