Where is the cruise from? to?    If it is a closed loop cruise originating in the US you should be fine.   If you are a US citizen and the cruise starts or ends in a foreign country I would get it renewed.

The 6 month rule for entry into the US does not apply to Irish Citizens, so no problem there, and most Caribbean countries treat you as in Transit so shouldn't be a problem there either

Check for each country that you will have a port stop in.   Not guaranteed, as they are a 3 rd party, but one of the few sources that clearly lists cruise exemptions.

 

The only definitive answer would be to contact the Embassy or Consulate of the countries you will be visiting.
