Your food complaints would be diminished (not eliminated) by going on a higher dollar cruise. Especially where food is concerned, you get what you pay for. In the old days, the food on all cruise lines was remarkable, so the people telling you that are likely either cruising a little more deluxe than you, or are going on 5-10 years or older experience.

If you think of an all-inclusive vacation in Mexico or the Caribbean, which you may be more familiar with, you can have a perfectly good week with merely edible institutional food. Or you can stay at a place that costs twice as much, get to eat in sit down restaurants every night, never have problems getting drink orders poolside, etc. Both kinds of vacations are great in their place; the problem arises if you think you're getting the latter but you in fact are getting the former. But in all-inclusive land vacations, the opposite issue often occurs - people are expecting crappy food, buffet lines, etc., so they're expectations are low.
