'cheapest accommodation' is the definition.
(cheapest accommodation on a ship)

'anger at st andrews?' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'andrews?' becomes 'ee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'st'+'ee'='stee'
'rage' put after 'stee' is 'STEERAGE'.

'beginning to stoke' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
