Is it true that "Lobster Night" is now 2 very small lobster tails and 2 very large shrimp?

It seems the lobsters are getting smaller on all the lines.

The lobster on our cruise was Caribbean rock lobster tails, combined with shrimp. However, you could order the lobster without the shrimp if you wanted to, or vice versa. And you could always ask for more if you wanted. The only real lobster being served was in the Crown Grill.....for an extra $9.
