I'm about to go on my 3rd Royal Carribean cruise this July. We've done 2 Western Carribeans and this will be an Eastern Carribean. I've always heard Royal Carribean was one of the best and Carnival was the worst. As far as prices on board, well you don't pay for anything, except sodas and alcohol, and of coarse merchandise. But food and other drinks are free. Plus anything you do like shows and entertainment etc is included in the ticket price.
Since our first cruise we've been hooked. It's the best travel experience my wife and I have had. Everything is taken care of, and you just show up to whatever you want to do. But the best part is the food. Don't forget the stretchy pants!
December is cheaper, but September is also. It's not that cold in the Carribean yet in December so I wouldn't worry about that ruining your trip. Nothing Michigan folks can't handle anyway. Bon Voyage!
