I think it was NCL that started doing this, charging for a specialty restaurant, more than 20 years ago. So it hasn't invaded the DR much yet. RCL charging xtra for their "top" steak is the only one I can think of, and I wouldn't pay that in the DR or bother with ANY 'steak' on RCL. RCL does have some great food, steak or beef in general, isn't on the list. But I never go hungry on RCL. And Carnival's Steakhouse is an unbelievable bargain. The same meal would be over $100 per person plus tip on land.
