    It is immigration, and you only have to do it if St. Thomas is your re-entry into the US AND you are not sailing to another foreign port. In other words, your next and final stop is the US as well.
    Not quite.

    We went Miami, Coco Cay, St Thomas, St Martin, Miami.
    We had to do it.

    Only if you come from a foreign port into a US territority. It is only the US immigration that insist on these checks. All other ports do a blanket check/clearance through the ship.

    Please don't confuse customs with immigration. When you leave the US and reenter, gotta go through immigration -- even in midtrip. At the end of your trip, you go through customs, immigration too if you left the US again.
