Miami, FL is a cruise departure city and the majority of the cruises leave there for the Caribbean. Boston, MA has cruise ships departing for Bermuda which is pretty close due to its location in the Atlantic. Los Angeles, CA is another departure city to the western coast of Mexico.

It depends on your cruise destination. Cruises to the Caribbean and Bahamas often depart from Port Canaveral, Miami, or San Juan, Puerto Rico. Cruises from Baltimore, Newark, and Philadelphia depart for Bermuda and Eastern Caribbean destinations. Cruises to Mexico and the Mexican Riviera commonly depart from Galveston and Los Angeles.

In addition to Miami, one might sail out of Ft. Lauderdale for the Carribbean; if going to Alaska, often cruise ships leave from Seattle.

There are several ports of call along the US coastlines. Galveston Texas has always been my favorite, since it is the closest and a short trip to the Caribbean.
