Answer 1

I have been to all of those places on cruises except Columbia and Trinidad and I did not have to get a VISA for any of them.  Actually there are only a few countries that require visas of cruise passengers who will generally be spending less than a day in the country.  

Royal Caribbean cruise line has a link on its page with a chart showing which countries require a passport and Visa.  Here it is for you:  http://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/pd...

Answer 2

You need to ask the cruise company first..they usually take care of any necessary visas for their passengers.
