A US passport does not need to be valid for 6 more months to enter Canada. Sometimes airlines might enforce this, but not Canadian border control.
If your cruise ends in the US, or if you have tickets onward from Canada back to the US, then your chances of any problem go down.
Definitely check with a Canadian government source though to verify!
