So when you see a special, like $899 for an 11 day Caribbean cruise from
HAL, how much more beyond the $899 should you expect to pay?... what other
extra charges should I expect?


One thing you can expect is that all cabins (or the one cabin ...) at the
advertised price will -- whaddaya know! -- turn out to have been booked by
the time you call.

Figure $10 per person per day for tips if you are calculating down to that
level.
\

For an 11 day cruise that's $220 - not what I would call nickel and
dime level.

Try Motel 6 and a stop at Disneyland. The $10 tip has been around for years and
is considered part of the cost of the cruise.

It was established due to low life pax who stiffed the help.

899+110+tax+port charge x 2 . If you can't afford it, DON"T GO

The OP just asked what extra costs he could expect presumably so that
he would know if he COULD afford it. That is not what I would call an
unreasonable question, nor would I call $110 per person an
insignificant additional cost.

Most of the answers said that there wouldn't be any additional costs
as long as he didn't drink, or take the shore excursions or eat at the
extra price restaurants. The other persons seemed to be saying that
the taxes and the port costs might be included. But they didn't
mention tips.

I don't see why mentioning tips should get Motel 6 and a stop at
Disneyland (which is not exactly low cost either) and low life pax as
a response.
