Most lines do not allow boarding part way though a voyage as their check in facilities are at the embarkation port. Also many of the customs agreements do not allow it on cruises that cross international borders.
This is unless you miss the ship at the embarkation port they may allow you to join the ship at the next port.
It is sometimes a possibility but you would have to contact the cruise line you are considering to be certain. I have looked into it as I work in support of the cruise industry in Alaska in the summer but was generally told no or there would be a very high ($300-$500) premium to plan to join the cruise late or leave it early.
A stop for a ship is called a port of call. A cruise ship might be said to make a stopover (or port call) at a port of call.
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.
One common port would be Miami, but there are several ports in Florida that cruise ships are based out of. When you book a cruise, the departure port will be identified.
Port fees and taxes on a cruise typically range from 100 to 200 per person, depending on the itinerary and the ports of call. These fees cover the costs of using the port facilities and services during the cruise.
''Cruise Visitors'' are a term that tourism boards and merchants in a cruise ship's port of call use to refer to passengers visiting their area by cruise ship.
Port fees on a Carnival cruise typically range from 50 to 200 per person, depending on the specific itinerary and port of call. These fees cover the costs associated with docking at various ports during the cruise.

No alcohol is allowed to be brought on board by passegers on Norwegian cruise ships. If you purchase alcohol, wine, etc. in port, they will hold it for you until the end of the cruise.
There is one cruise line that cruises Hawaii only, embarking and debarking in a Hawaiian port of call: Norwegian Cruise Line America (NCLA). The line has three ships (Pride of Aloha, Pride of America and Pride of Hawaii) registered in the U.S. and all are allowed to both embark and debark from a U.S. port of call without visiting a foreign port of call in between.
