It is not illegal to disembark a cruise ship - people do it all the time! However, for vessels operating in the United States, an Act of Congress called the Jones Act prevents passengers from disembarking in any port except the one they embarked in. Therefore, it prevents passengers from using cruise ships as a "taxi". A violation of this can result in heavy fines from Customs & Border Protection to both the vessel and the passengers. The Jones Act also requires foreign ships operating in the United States to touch a foreign port for at least a few hours during their itinerary.

How would a hurricane affect you on a cruise liner?
If you are on a cruise ship and a hurricane is forecast, the ship will alter its course to avoid the storm. This may mean that the ports where you planned to visit are changed for other ports outside the reach of the storm. If the hurricane is active at the port where you will embark or disembark from the ship, your cruise may be delayed or canceled - or the cruise line may move the ship to a port away from the storm. Cruise ships do not head into hurricanes, except possibly on trans-Atlantic crossings where the options are much more limited.
