Most Caribbean destinations do not require visas for short stays (usually less than 90 days) for many nationalities, including citizens of the US, Canada, UK, and EU countries. However, it's important to check specific visa requirements for each country you plan to visit before your cruise.
The currency used in the Caribbean varies by island. Common currencies include the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD) used in countries like Antigua, Barbados, and St. Lucia, while others like the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands use the Bahamian Dollar (BSD) or US Dollar (USD). It's advisable to check the specific currencies of the destinations on your cruise itinerary before travelling.
