A port call is when a ship pulls into a city for a brief stop. Most port calls are associated w/ the Navy, but some people call them that one Cruise ships.
Port is the left side of the ship and starboard is the right.

It's when a Navy ship pulls into port and the Sailors get off the ship and go into town at that port city.

A harbour.
The left side of ship is called the Port side, not the right as someone else has suggested

Well, a port of call is where a cruise ship docks or tenders. I am sure it is the same for any ship. For example, a port of call on a Caribbean cruise could be Ochos Rios, Jamaica. I wish I was there.

It is when a ship puts into a port to show the flag. PR by the military, to show we're still around.
