Wonderful, you will a great time! There is usually at least one vegetarian option for each course. Check this to prepare for your cruise: www.princess.com/en-us/ships-and-experience/onboard-experience/food-and-dining/specialty-restaurants
I didn’t find the “specialty dining” on Discovery Princess (Mexico Jan/Feb 2024) to be all that great. Oh, it wasn’t bad, it simply did not live up to the hype. In Crown Grill (which my travel agent paid for as a gift) I received exactly four (4) spears of asparagus with my filet. Four. That is just cheap. Lovely atmosphere and certainly quieter than MDR (if you ignore the folks one table over watching videos on their phone during dinner). You can get the same filet in MDR for $19 versus a $35 Crown Grill cover charge. Sabatini’s was just OK; again nothing spectacular. Sure, quieter than MDR but not worth $35. Service in both was excellent. Gigi’s Pizza was nowhere near as good as I had been made to believe. In fact I found it excessively ordinary and hardly worth $15. Service, however, was faultless. My best meals were in MDR. Next time (Majestic Princess / Mexico / Nov 2024) I’ll skip specialty dining (and the buffet for that matter - but that’s a different story) and take my meals in MDR, thank you very much.
From my experience specialty dining is a $35 cover charge (plus service fee) and Gigi’s Pizza is $15 (plus service fee). I can’t speak to the charges at Salty Dog.
We will travel with this cruise in next weeks, do you know do they have any vegetarian menu?

You make very good points. Sometimes, we have experiences that make us go back to the basics. Sorry for the late reply! Thank you for your sharing.
@@foodoncruises It was very kind of you to respond to my posting. Thank you.

Sorry.
What was the name of the french restaurant?
It WAS “Sur La Mer” but it has been replaced with “The Catch By Rudi”. It’s now seafood.
