Do you need to have a visa or visa free passport for every port of call when departing on a Carribean cruise?

I'm looking into departing on a cruise from Florida that goes through several Carribean nations. Given that I'm not a US citizen, there are a couple of stops on the itinerary where my passport alone won't suffice. Would the cruise company allow me on board despite that? And would I be allowed to exit the ship at ports where I would otherwise require a visa?

          I've been on several cruises on two different cruise lines and the rule has always been as follows: you are responsible for getting your own visas (and for knowing which ones you require); the cruise ship staff will check your passport at check-in time (on embarkation day) to make sure you are allowed in all the countries where the ship will stop. You will not be allowed on board unless you meet all the requirements for all the countries, even if you don't plan to leave the ship. If you try to book a cruise through a cruise line's website, you will probably be given this information before you complete your booking (in case you want to verify my answer).

            Norwegian's visa page has some helpful resources. In general, if you require a visa to enter a country, the cruise line is usually going to require you to hold that visa to board the ship at all; it's not usually an option to say you just won't get off the ship.



            Note that some Caribbean countries (e.g. Bermuda) have visa exemptions for those holding multiple-entry visas from countries like the US and Canada, so you may not need a visa even if your nationality would otherwise make one required.
