Sorry to hear of your bad experience, especially after all of the anticipation. I like cruises for the fact after you tour the island for the day, you are back to first class accomidations on the ship. The meals, the shows, the night clubs, the scenery at the pools, etc all make the evenings as enjoyable as the days on the islands.
The ships also advise on the places to avoid while on the islands.
For shopping, did you make it to the cruise ship area? I think I bought my Citizen Titanium watch right off the boat at St. Marteen for 50% off list. I saved at least $100 over the next best price I've seen for it (other than at St. Thomas a day later) .

... One thing that I loved were the beaches. The beach off of my resort was breath taking! Orient beach was also phenomenal! A long with the boobies that came with it (nude beach) Crystal clear water and soft white sand with not a rock in sight. Many fun water sports to do also (expensive though) It cost me $60 for a half hour on a jet ski...
