I've been following this thread because these changes are going to affect all of us to some degree. I took my first cruise in 2018 and oh do I wish I had started sooner! After my first cruise, if anyone asked me, the thing I would always say that I loved most was being treated like a princess for a whole week. I guess you could say that I paid for that treatment in the form of my cruise fare, extra tips, etc. It just makes me sad to think that my cruises in the future might not be quite as 'special'.
We always make our bed and keep our cabin tidy - but I still love the twice a day service that makes it so crisp and fresh. I'm also one of those people who only uses a towel once, that is how I was raised and it will never change. I can still hear my mother saying, "why would I wipe my face with something I dried my backside with yesterday?" Our next cruise we have a Jr. Suite booked, so the twice a day service should still be there, our cruise after that we will be reduced to the once a day - that cruise will be on Icon so we made the financial decision to go with a cheaper room than a Jr. suite.
Sorry for the rambling, again, it just feels SO sad. I truly don't mind paying more for my vacation - everything is more expensive, I get it. Personally, I wish they would just do a fare increase and not decrease service standards.
