Yep, I concur. With 4 cruises since 9/2021, 2 Carnival & 2 Princess, it's obvious that the cruise lines are currently all about maximizing profits. The food on ALL 4 cruises was poor quality, poor selection, and child size portions. I've decided to forego any more cruising until some time this Fall, when demand drops and staffing hopefully improves. On my last Carnival cruise (3/22) I was surprised to hear the cruise director publically lament the understaffing on the ship.

I guess we've been very fortunate, then.  I will agree that of the 4 cruises we've taken post-COVID, the first two were really hit and miss on the food (with more misses). However the last two have seen significant improvements, and in fact the Carnival Dream in April 2022 was probably the best food I've ever had on Carnival overall. Supply chain issues and staff shortages are gradually being resolved, it would seem (at least my Pollyanna fingers are crossed!).
