what exactly are your expectations, may I ask?

1) friendliness - this is highly subjective. Perhaps you expect constant smiles and uninterrupted chit-chats. But they are doing their job (and rest in between) they aren't paid to chat with you, if that's what you mean

2) food is a rush - you aren't in F doing degustation course. What's the rush? The fact they brought your food in 1 tray? This is not J.

3) take off and landing "mad rush" - I didn't get it. Do you mean you didn't get your welcome drink and hot towel? I got mine on recent SYD Y+ on both ways.

4) no clue member walk through you - if I needed a drink I walk to galley. But even so on a day flight from SYD to HK (cx162) I had drink served on tray every 45minutes, if I recall. I think that was the MOST number of drink-runs, even more than J.

So no I don't share your feeling that service deteriorated. Maybe I was just lucky.
