When you go on a cruise you also have a choice of what islands you want to shop at.  When you look at a cruise brochure, they will tell you the different itineraries they offer.  You pick which one you would like and then you go to those islands.  Sometimes, if there are problems in certain islands, due to hurricanes, etc., the ships won't be able to stop there and the ships will either give you money towards you on board shopping or take you to another island.  (The cruise lines are very good about these problems.)  There are many good islands around the world but I will tell you about some in the Caribbean .
The Bahamas- T Bahamas are great islands to go to shop or relax, whatever you prefer.  Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is known for it's straw market with tons of other shopping as well.  (Above) St. Thomas- St. Thomas is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.  It has great shopping and lovely scenery.  You can go to Coral World with glass separating you and sharks.   (Above) Tortola British Virgin Islands- This island is only 10 miles square miles but has a lot to offer.  It has beautiful  beaches with clear waters. (Above) Willemstead- Willemstead is a Dutch island.  This island is perfect for water sports because it has little winds and skies filled with sun.  The perfect place to go to on a cruise vacation.  

The most common types of itineraries you can pick are eastern Caribbean, western Caribbean, southern Caribbean, or Alaska.
