I just checked our Royal Gathering photos from the Fantasy this past October and it was Cinderella, Tiana, Mulan, and Belle. No Ariel. I don't remember if Ariel was around elsewhere but just want to set expectations that even if you get tickets, it may not mean she gets to meet Ariel.
If you want to get a sense of what is *likely* to be on the itinerary (no guarantees), you could look at navigators for similar itineraries on the Disney Cruise Line Blog here.
One backup option if all else fails -- the last night there is the Til We Meet Again gathering in the atrium where all the characters come out. It's more of a free for all but it's one more chance to see all the princesses (though maybe not actually get to meet them up close depending on the crowd). It's also late in the evening, but again, is an option if you weren't able to find another time during the cruise.
Don't beat yourself up. I'm sure you've put a ton of work into planning this trip. Your daughter is very lucky to have a parent that cares so much! I'm sure you all will have a magical time regardless
