Scubaman--as I said, who the heck cruises from New Jersey in February??? If you're cruising to the Caribbean in February, presumably at least part of the reason is to get warm. There are only a couple of ships going from there and a TON of ships out of Florida and San Juan. If you're going to fly to get on a cruise anyway, why not fly to Florida, which should be WARM in February, as compared to NJ?? And if you want to take a little vacation in addition to the cruise, again, who vacations in NJ in February???? Therefore, my assumption is that most people who are cruising out of NJ in February are fairly local or have some other reason to be in that area and take a cruise from there. Certainly not ALL, but I would say the majority are probably relatively local.
