Yes, taste is subjective but the quantity of things is also at issue. Truth be told Carnival has always limited the portions of seafood, one way or another. When we first started sailing them the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were positively tiny, but as I recall they are at least a more decent size now. It's not like we are sailing on Oceania and paying quadruple or quintuple the fare and the food on Carnival has always passed muster with me.
