People always talk about quality going down. Nothing is the same as it was pre-Covid, and that seems to be the same on every cruise line.

I've cruised on several different cruise lines and many ships since the restart, and frankly, I have not noticed any reduction in food quality, portions, or taste. I will admit, I only eat what looks gojd, and will rarely experiment with food options, since I don't want to be wasteful of food that I knew I might not like, but wanted to try. I'm not an elitist and will eat whats put in front of me, but again, if it doesn't appeal to me in the description, I won't order it.

It seems food quality has gone down among all the cruise lines. Makes me wish Door Dash had little speedboats to deliver food from the mainland. I'd pay a premium for it!
