I want to go on a cruise the 13th to the 18th of march. I'd like to leave out of anywhere in florida. Anyone got tips for the best website to find the cruises out of?

I'm looking to get some airline miles so if anyone knows any great promotions please let me know.

Holland America has a lot of Caribbean cruises leaving primarily from Fort Lauderdale in Florida, and a good website that lets you pick your departure port. Highly recommend their Southern Caribbean cruise and their very special private island stop at Half Moon Cay which is a bonus stop for Holland America cruises in this area.

Another fairly good website for comparative info is 90 Day Ticker - you have to register but it lets you set your dates and departure preferences and shows you all the major cruise lines for those parameters.

This is a copy from 90 Day ticker - do you mean leaving any time from March 13-18 or a cruise from March 13-18 (very short - nothing here works as most are at minimum 7 days) This gives you an idea of what ships are leaving from Fort Lauderdale at this time mid March.

Vacations To Go is my favorite site to do custom searches for cruises. Here's a link to their custom search page. You may need to fill out a free registration first. I have also booked a few cruises through them and they have always been great. Good luck!
