Was on the 2/24 sailing of the Adventure of the Seas. Previous cruise was same ship, 2/23/2020. The difference in food quality was obvious and the crowd control for the Windjammer was an issue on the cruise last month, although I will say that breakfast each day was very good and there were plenty of options.
I'm not a buffet snob. I can be quite happy at Golden Corral, if that gives you any idea of my highly developed culinary tastes. The lunch and dinner selections were pleasing to the eye but seemed to have little taste. I was really excited to dig into my chicken fajitas on Mexican night, but there was as much gristle as there was chicken. Most of my meals ended up with a few chicken tenders, which were very good, and a loaded baked potato. I will give props to the S'mores cookies and brownies on the last night of our cruise. They were delicious.
Lines were insane to get into the Windjammer each night for at least the first half hour, but not all sides of the buffet were open. I suspect it's a matter of staffing, and those who were there were always friendly and helpful, so I feel badly for them.
We ate in the MDR two nights. First time, our apps came quickly but it was a 50-minute wait for our meals. At that point the six of us were ready to just walk out. When the food came, it was tasty, I will admit. Meal delivery was much quicker the second time, but either I wasn't that hungry, or the lasagna was just meh.
No matter what, I'm not going to let dining ruin my cruise. Looking on the bright side, I only had a couple of extra pounds to lose when I came home.
