Where cruises from Philadelphia actually go
Most cruises from Philadelphia go to Bermuda, every week through the summer. In the winter the ship turns south for the Caribbean and the Bahamas, and in late summer and fall a few voyages go north to Canada and New England. One spring crossing ends in Barcelona. The counts on each card come straight from the schedule.
Bermuda
Most cruises from Philadelphia go to Bermuda. From April to August, Norwegian Pearl in 2027 and Norwegian Gem in 2028 sail 7-night round trips, almost all leaving on a Thursday. They arrive at the Royal Naval Dockyard, at the west end of the island, on the third morning, stay overnight, and most call at Norfolk, Virginia, on the way home. In the fall and winter a few 5-night and 7-night trips go there and back with no other stop.

Caribbean
Winter round trips of 10 to 12 nights on Norwegian Pearl, from November to March. Most call at San Juan, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas and Tortola. The longer ones add St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Lucia or Barbados. Expect two or three days at sea each way before and after the islands.

Canada and New England
Late-summer and fall voyages, by way of Maine, Saint John, Halifax, Sydney and Charlottetown, most of them with a day in Boston too. Most are one-way and end in Quebec City, so you travel home from Canada and need a passport to do it. The October trips turn round and come back to Philadelphia.

8-night round trips on Norwegian Pearl in February and March. They call at two of Nassau, Grand Bahama and Norwegian's private island, Great Stirrup Cay, and stop in Florida at Port Canaveral, most of them at Jacksonville too.
