The Port of City of Mobile, Alabama: Things to See and Do Before Leaving on a Cruise

The Port of Mobile is still an active port – it’s the only deep-water port in Alabama, so a lot of shipping activity still runs through it – but it is not currently an operational cruise port.

The Port City of Long Beach: Things to See and Do Before Leaving on a Cruise
Plenty of people know of Long Beach as a port city. The Port of Long Beach is, after all, the second busiest port in the U.S. (this first, the Port of Los Angeles, is right beside it) and serves as a major facilitator of U.S.-Asian trade.

The Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT): Things to See and Do Before Leaving on a Carnival Fascination Cruise
The Jacksonville Port, known as JAXPORT, is not a major cruise hub, especially relative to other Florida port cities (like Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral). Indeed, only a single cruise ship, the Carnival Fascination, operates out of the port, and this vessel essentially only travels to the Bahamas. However, the Carnival Fascination operates throughout the entire year, and by extension the Jacksonville Port manages cruises all year long, so tens of thousands of cruise vacationers pass through Jacksonville every year. If you happen to be one of these vacationers, here are some things to see and do before your cruise from Jacksonville departs. Read more […] -

And if you do find yourself waiting there, we’ve compiled some things to see and do before you leave on your cruise from Honolulu. Read more […] -
Port Canaveral: Things to See and Do Before Leaving a Cruise

And if you do find yourself at Port Canaveral for a cruise, you might have some down time to explore the area before or after your cruise.
