You don't need a visa for any of those but Dominican Republic requires a tourist card. You can (and should!) check all this out though on websites such as FCO, and your cruise organiser if applicable
surely your cruise organiser will tell you exactly what you need for different disembarkations?

im booking it all seperately online , cruise is leaving from fort lauderdale florida im trying not to make phone call to usa many thanks
won't all visa requirements etc be in your written confirmation....
i wouldn't have thought so - how would the cruise sompany know the nationalities of the guests and detail visa needs for them?

http://www.capitaljazz.com/supercruise/travel.asp im looking into it at moment aint never been on cruise before and it seems based on usa residents so more complecated for uk residents to book it , but really wanna go on it HELP confused lol
The information I gave you came from the FCO website. If you are confused I suggest you perhaps go there and if necessary contact them for info. It's v risky relying on advice from us as we aren't experts.
Pretty sure you don`t need a visa for any of them. A friend of mine`s just come back from a cruise and absolutely loved Aruba. She wants to go back again.
You`ll need an esta (if travelling under the visa waiver scheme) for the States though.
The entry requirements of every country in the world, for British passport holders, can be found on the website of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office:

True.

But I'm wondering about getting back into the US at the end of the cruise. Three possibilities:

if it's a US cruise ship maybe you are treated as if you never left the US

if the cruise company is a participating carrier (I think the term is) then ESTA is fine

if the cruise company is not a participating carrier then you might need a visa.

Are they in this list:

it appears to be Carnival, so they are
