Along the east coast cruises depart from New York, Philly, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, Jacksonville, Port Canaveral, and Miami (including Ft. Lauderdale).
Some, like Philly and Charleston are seasonal. Also not all ports have ships that go to the Caribbean. A typical cruise ship travels at around 25 miles per hour. So a ship leaving from Norfolk will have to travel a 32 hours to make it to Miami while a car could make it in half that time (and a plane in two hours). So most cruises from the middle and northern east coast go to either the Bahamas, Bermuda and Canada (during the summer).
Still, you have options (these are just examples) ...
