Yes, you can make your cruise booking before you get your passport. However, you will need to have one before getting on your ship, except for what are known as "closed-loop" cruises in the Western Hemisphere. From the getyouhome.gov website:
U.S. citizens who board a cruise ship at a port within the United States, travel only within the Western Hemisphere, and return to the same U.S. port on the same ship may present a government issued photo identification, along with proof of citizenship (an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular report of Birth Abroad, or a Certificate of Naturalization). Please be aware that you may still be required to present a passport to enter the foreign countries your cruise ship is visiting. Check with your cruise line to ensure you have the appropriate documents.
