(I fully expect the answer to be no as I'm flying U.S. to U.S. but saw something about Caribbean flights qualifying and figured I'd ask the professionals first

Hello
Kflyer80,
Welcome to FlyerTalk. You would not have access.
AA's website says:
Except on flights operated by Alaska Airlines, access is not granted when flying from the United States to Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico (except Mexico City).
In case you aren't aware, there is a
FlyerTalk thread for Admirals Club access where members post availability to sponsor a guest for entry in case any of the posted times and airports overlap with your travels. Note that one cannot solicit for access.
