Here’s a great article that wraps up what to pack (and not pack) on a cruise…Caribbean’s more casual than Europe, for example –

I think it just depends a little on what you do at each port.

I really enjoyed Montego Bay, Jamaica:)

If you are interested in great beaches, you should try St. Maarten and St. Thomas. Both also have beautiful scenery, especially St. Thomas. I really liked Dominica for beautiful, lush green rainforest surroundings. If you go to Dominica, you must go to the sulpher hot springs, which are these pools that are heated by the volcanic activity underground. Antigua has some nice beaches too. If you go to Grand Turk, there is really nothing much to see, except to go swimming in the ocean and spend the day at Magarittaville at the pool and swim-up bar. Do not bother with the "downtown" of Grand Turk – honestly, there is nothing there, not even souvenirs. I am not a huge fan of the duty free shopping in St. Thomas, which is always hyped on the cruiseship by the shopping expert. Unless you have big money to spend on jewelry, the shopping is not for you. I would not go to Barbados on a Sunday, as there is nothing open.

I really liked San Juan PR- make sure you eat at Botin
I enjoyed St Maarten- I liked browsing the streets and buying discounted expensive jewelry- eat at Holland House – the view is spectacular
I could have cared less about seeing St Kitts

After 12 cruises I don’t bother with the ports, they are all very similar.
Occasionally you find something good to do at a port but I’ve found the excursions are wonderful to read about but something else when you go on them.
I did enjoy Granada and costa rica

It depends- all have pros and cons. I’ve been to:

San Juan- didn’t really like it much

St. Thomas- LOVED it- beautiful!

St. Martin- beautiful and nice

Cozumel, Mexico- beauitful- nice beaches- loved it

Grand Cayman- beautiful- swam with stingrays

Ocho Rios, Jamaica- did Dunns River falls- awesome!

I would suggest looking at the different ports- researching them online and seeing if you would prefer one over the other. But no matter where you go you will have a great time!
