With regard to Sint Maarten, you should not need a visa to enter Sint Maarten off a cruise ship for a one day port of call.

 

From the Government of Sint Maarten's Travel Guide (Last updated May 2015 and on the Government Website):

 

General Visa Exemptions

All visitors are exempted from the visa requirement when in possession of the following;

. . .

• Passengers of cruise ships visiting the island for less than 48 hours.

 

You presumably understand your need for documentation to enter and/or be in USA to board ship in San Juan, PR.

Thankyou my friend

I have only been asked to show my passport when at the airport or when I was going on a day excursion by boat to another island say Anguilla, Saba or St. Bart's. Other than on those occasions no one has ever asked me for passport ID on either side of the island. You can easily spend a lovely day on the Dutch side of the island and maybe that would be less stressful for you. I would suggest spending the morning at Maho beach walking through the Maho entertainment area and having lunch and then seeing the planes land at Maho and heading back to either Philipsburg to do some shopping if you have time or go right back to the ship.
