Ok, I did the cheap thing as well but have been on the expensive side of things 
also.  This cruise cost me over $2k for the cruise (inside cabin), classes, 
hotel, air, return transfer to the airport as the transfer from the hotel to 
pier was included in the hotel rate.  I did two shore excursions one from the 
ship and one through an outside company.  My biggest expenditures was the spa 
as I went twice and loved every minute of it! I also had a drink every night at 
dinner time....

Like everyone said before everyone is different but first time cruisers tend to 
spend more on trinkets and souvenirs and like to see and do everything they can 
the first time around.  

I did a one night cruise with a girlfriend a few years back it was her first 
time cruising and let me tell you things add up quickly on the ship.  The 
cruise for one night and my onboard account was over $500 dollars so it can get 
costly as well. 

Gratuities are automatically added to your shipboard account at $10 per person 
per night however I think Royal Caribbean is higher now at $13 but don't quote 
me on that one.

Spa treatments start out at about $100 per hour sometimes port days it will be 
cheaper.

Shore Excursions figure the good ones are about $50 - $75 per person.  If you 
are doing diving or fishing figure on alot more.

My drinks on the ship was about $2.50 per glass of pop/soda as I didn't buy the 
fountain card for the week as I don't drink alot of pop.  My alcoholic drinks 
were about $5.00 a wack as well.  I don't drink alot however...

Hope this kind of answers your question Ed hope you will be joining us on the 
next cruise as well...
