Breakfast is complimentary on Oasis class ships.

 

Would I be wrong to think that Johnny Rockets would also serve breakfast on Voyager class ships as well, like the Mariner?

No free breakfast in Johnny Rockets  on Voyager Class.

Thought I covered that above, but JR does not offer breakfast on other than Oasis class ships.

Drink prices way up and food quality way down - those are the major changes for me. You will also notice that the MDR menus have changed in that there are a lot less choices and many repeat daily. I've basically given up on the MDR.

Pre-cruise reservations for entertainment on the biggest ships.  Fewer views to the outside from public venues on Oasis class ships.

I strongly agree with both of these.

Are these made to order omelettes?

Egg white omelets are a great alternative

While cruising is still awesome, and we will never give it up, there have been a few changes possibly since you went. The biggest, for me, is that big lounge of open windows in the front  (unless it is the back)  on a top level of the ship that used to be a quiet place during the day of open seating in front of all windows is now a lounge for only suite or high level cruisers. 

 

If sitting quietly and reading while watching the water is your favorite thing to do, you will have to get a balcony. 

 

There is no more bar service walking around and coming to you, you have to go to the bar to order. 

 

The food in the main dining room is not as good as it used to be, but the menus have changed recently and I have not tried the new ones yet.

 

The Allure is our favorite ship. The central park garden is a nice place to sit and the ship entertainment is fantastic. 

 

Check ins and boarding is way easier. You may be able send your luggage directly to your airline and not need to bring it yourself.

 

Regardless of changes, you will still love your cruise!

Thanks for the info. We will be on the Allure for the first time in November. My favorite breakfast is an omlette stuffed with extra veggies.
