Of course English is spoken by many people in the tourism industry in
the places you have listed. Precisely what is it you're trying to find
out? Whether or not you can visit tourist sites with no language other
than English or whether you can visit independently for an extended
period of time with English only?

I would say you can't really make a list of second language places. A
lot of people in the Caribbean speak English because of it's proximity
to the United States. I can't think of any port I have been to on a
cruise in the Caribbean where if English was not the first language,
that knowledge of English was not common.

As for Brazil---They speak Portuguese. I have not been there but I
would guess English is not that common. I ran into a group of 400
Brazilians on a seven day cruise in the Carribbean and never found one
who spoke English. There were seperate announcements in Portuguese and
Portugusese menus for the Brazilians in the dining room.
