My question is, what sort of food and preparation would someone who requested kosher meals expect aboard a ship. Any idea just where such meals come from, etc?
An another cruise, we had one member at our table who was getting vegetarian meals, and I have to say that they looked appetizing and appealing.
I don't know of any cruise ships with Kosher kitchens, able to prepare Kosher meals on board. (This was done on a few ocean liners in the old days.) If someone was expecting freshly-prepared Kosher meals, they would be quite disappointed these days.

Crystal Cruises has a kosher cuisine offered. High end cruising has a strong Jewish demographic compared to the general population.
The defunct Greek Line had kosher dining rooms.
Most modern orthodox Jews in a non-kosher situation will order vegetarian dishes. Every cruise I have taken has at least 2 vegetarian entrees on the menu.
Before the days of multiple dining options with most cruiselines: Each night of the cruise was a different ethnic cuisine with the waiters in costume.
