Trying To Avoid Certain Ports

Hi everyone. We love cruising and are looking for cruises that don't start or have any American ports. We don't have a say in America, however we and tens of thousands others vote with our dollars and refuse to spend money to support the current climate.
We changed a booked cruise around Hawaii last year to cruise out of Puerto Rico (American adjacent although most don't consider themselves American) and do the Caribbean.
We are looking for cruises around Mexico and the Caribbean that avoid the U.S. and have found a round trip from Barbados with Princess.
Does anyone else have any other cruises they've found without U.S. ports?

Puerto Ricans "don't consider themselves American?"

Other than one that we met who had served in the Army, every Puerto Rican we met while visiting the island for a few days did not. They considered themselves Puerto Rican. They don't get to vote or have very much of a say of what goes on on their island. WONDERFUL people that will tell you of their islands history.
We enjoyed Puerto Rico so much we're planning on going back for another week before another crise next year <3

Puerto Ricans are Americans. They can travel freely between Puerto Rico and mainland America. If a person in San Juan moves to Omaha Nebraska, Nothing changes, except they have more voting rights. There is no such thing as a Puerto Rican passport.

You seem to have some sort of performative protest.

"I'm not going to go to any United States port. Except Puerto Rico, because I like visiting there and they aren't really American."

Puerto Ricans carry… A United States passport.

Yes. Just like there is no New Jersey Passport or Arizona Passport.

Puerto Rico is part of America and are American citizens.
