Plenty of people think of Hawaii as a cruise destination, but few consider it as a cruise departure point.

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
Port Canaveral, located right by Cape Canaveral, is practically synonymous with “cruise port.” It is, in fact, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. If you are taking a cruise to the Caribbean or the Bahamas on Carnival, Disney, or Royal Caribbean, there is a good chance you’ll be leaving from Port Canaveral. 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.

The Port City of Galveston: Things to See and Do Before Leaving on a Cruise
The port city of Galveston serves cruise vacationers who do not have easy access to the major ports on the East and West Coasts, at least if one is looking to sail to the Caribbean (the only destination of cruises from Galveston). Located right below Houston, Texas, the Port of Galveston is easier and cheaper to get to for many in the central United States. For this reason, you might find yourself in the port city of Galveston before or after you cruise, so below we have compiled some things to see and do while you are there. While there aren’t as many things to see and do in Galveston (a small city) as there are in major U.S. cities with cruise ports, you nevertheless won’t have any trouble finding things to do before you cruise or after you return.

The Port City of Philadelphia: Things to See and Do Before Leaving on a Cruise
You probably don’t think of Philadelphia as a port city for cruises, and the reason you don’t think of Philadelphia as a port city for cruises is that it isn’t, at least not at the moment. Why, then, are we writing about the things to see and do before leaving on a cruise from Philadelphia? For one, there recently were and therefore probably will be cruises from Philadelphia in the near future, and when that day comes, you’ll be glad you know what to do if you find yourself in Philadelphia for a cruise. Two, there actually are cruises from Philadelphia – they are just short trips that don’t stray too far from the city, as opposed to, say, week-long trips to the Caribbean. So, while there currently aren’t major cruises from Philadelphia, you still may find yourself in the city for a cruise, and below we tell you the things you can see and do as you wait to depart.

The Port City of Fort Lauderdale in the Everglades: Things to See and Do When You Are Leaving on a Cruise
Simply by virtue of being in Florida, the state at the center of the American cruise industry, the Port of Fort Lauderdale (also called Port Everglades) is a hub for cruising. Forty-two cruise ships run by eight major cruise lines have a presence in Fort Lauderdale, and if you are planning any sort of Caribbean cruise, there is a fairly good chance you’ll leave from the Fort Lauderdale Port. Indeed, if you are planning any cruise that could benefit from a departure point on the southeast coast of Florida, you could find yourself in Fort Lauderdale. Given the city’s central importance to cruise vacationers, we thought it would be helpful to explain what you can see and do in the port city of Fort Lauderdale. You’ll likely have some time to kill before or after you cruise, so you may as well spend that time seeing the sights of Fort Lauderdale. Read more […] -
Things to See and Do When You Are Leaving on a Cruise from the Port City of Boston
The Port of Boston is well-known, not only because it is the oldest continually active port in the Western Hemisphere, but also because it is the location of one of the most famous events in U.S. history: the Boston Tea Party. What is perhaps not so well known about the Port of Boston is that it is the point of departure for a number of different cruises. It is, indeed, a major cruise ship port, albeit only during the summer season (approximately May to October). So, if you are taking a cruise from the East Coast, especially one that goes north to other parts of New England and Canada, there is a reasonably good chance you’ll sail from the Port of Boston, and if this is the case, you might want to know what there is to see and do in the port city of Boston. Below we supply precisely this information. Read more […]
