Assuming you mean Fort Meyers Florida, Tampa is your closest port. What's the point of the question? Fort Lauderdale or Miami are only 20/30 miles further, but, typically, I'd expect better cruise rates out of the biggies than Tampa. Another assumption, often wrong, many people make, is the closer the better. As often as not, this is not the case. You would do better to select your destination and then find a ship.

A cruise port or port of call is simply where a cruise ship stops. The Embarkation Port is where the cruise starts. The Disembarkation Port is where the cruise ends. Often those are the same. The Ports of Call are the stops the ship makes for passengers to get off and take shore excursions.
