Tip of the Week
Florida and Alaska don`t have a monopoly as cruise ports. Cruises operate out of (or into) the following ports/cities as well:
Charleston, Jacksonville, Portland, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Baltimore, Galveston, New Orleans, Sioux City, Kansas City, San Francisco, and many others.
With longer delays due to heightened security, alleviate some of the stress of travel by researching parking options: www.longtermparking.com has information on off-site parking, park-and-rides and shuttle services for major US airports.
