My wife was a Filipino citizen on a US Resident Visa when we took our first cruise 24 years ago. We went to the Bahamas and they didn't even ask to see her passport in the Bahamas. Back then we only needed to show our Florida Drivers Licenses for travel.
Over the past few years, the only place we needed to show our US (she is now a citizen)passports was when boarding and disembarking in the US Port. Every other country we visited (Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Mexico) on a cruise, there is no passport control we had to endure at any country even when we got back on the ship.
Most of the cruise lines have crews that are Filipino citizens with a US Visa, and they are allowed to leave ships in port if it is their day off.
The cruise lines know what is needed at each port of entry and if there is any passport control for it, so as stated before by YVR Cockroach, it is best to call the cruise line.
