From the Star RTW rules, section B. Capacity Limitations
"On sectors where First/Business Class is not offered/available at the time of booking passengers will be accommodated in the next lower class. No refund will apply. Exception: on sectors within/between USA/Canada where Business Class is not offered passengers will be accommodated in First Class subject to availability of seats at the time of booking. In the event First Class seats are not offered/available no refund will apply."
So, unless there is some small print somewhere making Caribbean islands a special case, it looks like you go down. :-(
