ESTA is USA only - so NO

We are doing B635 and need an Esta due to us stopping at St Thomas and San Juan. If you itinerary has them then yes you do otherwise no you don't.

Yes it's only if you are stopping at any US islands - St. Thomas, San Juan, St John etc. If your cruise does require one then it will be mentioned in the paperwork you get from P&O. Most of the P&O cruises round the Caribbean don't require one as they seem to have stopped docking at any American islands - it's too much of a hassle! Where they tend to use American islands is if it's a cruise that takes in New Orleans (then you'd need one for NO anyway) and then they cruise round the Western Caribbean as opposed to the East, taking in islands like Cozumel, Grand Cayman etc. These appear far less in the itineraries than they used to.

There appear to be quite a number of fly cruises, especially on Azura, which will require ESTA's this winter. Over the Christmas New year period Azura is doing a 28/9 night cruise taking in New Orleans, Key West, Fort Lauderdale and a number of US islands as well. This cruise can be broken down into 8 or 15 day chunks with return flights from New Orleans and Florida as well as Barbados and St Lucia. A really great itinerary for those who like fly cruises.
