Agree. I don't think my wife and I are alone in thinking the quality of food has decreased over the years. Now granted very few main dining room eating experiences have ever been Michelin star experiences, at least not since we started cruising in 1994, but it was better once than it is now. For instance, and I'm assuming they weren't lying at the time, Holland America once used to frequently serve Dover sole in their main dining room. They still serve sole occasionally but rarely is it Dover sole. We've also seen a cutback in the size and quality of beef dishes. Four years ago we switched over to luxury lines and the quality increased a bit but even then old timers on those lines bemoan "it's not as good as it once was". Marry food cost containment with staff reductions and we've lost a little if not a lot over the years probably across the whole industry.
