What is your favorite cruise port to leave from??

[Ehpride]

There's a reason I keep picking cruises out of Tampa. It's so easy! I'm a little nervous about Miami next time though.

I love Fort Lauderdale. The weather is always warm and lovely.

 

But I can fly very easily to NYC and the sailaway is spectacular---Lady Liberty, Freedom Tower, Ellis Island, Verazzano Bridge.

 

So these would both be favorites but for different reasons.

We also like cruising out of Tampa, so very easy. Next cruise we are leaving out of Miami, am also a little nervous about that.

I'm glad I'm not alone! I'm sure it will be fine, but it's weird not knowing the area.

NYC Going down the Hudson river is the best. Having the manhattan skyline , statue of liberty, Ellis island, all the Bridges. Staten island ferry. And the best part of all is when you go under the Verrazano-Narrows . That first hour is a cruise with in a cruise. then you have coney island and NJ. You have all the oil tankers and cargo ships waiting to get into NY harbor four the last two hours because they can't get in because your on the big cruises ship getting out.

Port Canaveral -- It's the shortest drive.

[morganboys]

only sailed out of pc so it is my favorite.

New York/Cape Liberty

 

Not necessarily my favorite but it's nice not to have to fly!

 

I like San Juan also...

[JackNJillCruz]

WooHoo, Especially if this rain clears up... but hey, if not I won't let it dampen my vacation spirit. Hold on Magic, we're coming to ya! :D :D

new york for the view.

 

baltimore for convenience.

My favorite is New York City. The port is organized and it is easy to get on and off the ship. I never experienced long lines.

 

I enjoy the 7 day New England/Canada north itinerary and the 8 day Florida, Bahamas, Caribbean itineraries.

 

Living on Long Island, it is an easy train ride to the port so that saves on airfare.

 

Hopefully Carnival resumes year round cruising out of NYC.:cool:

Cape Liberty is closest, but since it's not in my budget, Charleston is going to be my favorite. This will be my first time out of Charleston, but I've been there to know they'll be plenty to do waiting those final hours the night before.

new york. nothin like it!

 

and only 45 minutes from home! No more flying!

[gregg204]

New Orleans. Love the trip down the river.

[PROCRUISE]

As others have mentioned: no other experience on earth like cruising into/out of Venice.

[SCDreamWeaver]

Any port that has a ship in it and I have a boarding pass.....:)

New York City! Unforgettable.

Oh yes, how can I forget. NYC sailaway is spectacular!:)

I have only cruised out of Florida ports so I would say Port Everglades. I love all the high rises that line the intracoastal waterway. Fun party atmosphere when the cruise ships leave.

Leaving from San Juan...best itineraries :)

[Naomi John]

Jacksonville

 

Only have sailed out of 3 ports, Liked Jacksonville the best, but will probably not sail from her again.

 

NOLA is second.

[Seany527]

Gotta go with New York.

[monicuba23]

NY is right across the river and very convenient, but we like San Juan. We enjoy spending a few days enjoying the sights and sounds and tastes of Puerto Rico, and the itineraries are great, with more time in port.

And.... we've stayed at all of the Hilton properties on the entire island, but our favorite hotel is El Convento in Old San Juan, which is a wonderful boutique hotel in an old convent, dating back to the 1600s.
