New Orleans, Louisiana
Sure, pralines and hurricane cocktails are great, but perhaps you want to add some conch stew and rum punch to the menu. No problem, thanks to the increasingly popular Port of New Orleans. The cruise terminal handled a record 977,000 passengers in 2012, up 32 percent from the year prior. Cruise lines like Norwegian, Carnival and Royal Caribbean can take you to the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Belize and Mexico. For a night on Bourbon Street, try the W French Quarter Hotel. With fewer than 100 rooms, the vibe is sleek but never snobbish.
