Fireworks are launched from the starboard side of the ship (weather permitting). I like to snag a spot on the starboard side of Deck 10 of the Disney Magic about 15 minutes before the deck party is set to begin for an excellent view of the dazzling display.

If you sail out of Port Canaveral and stop at Castaway Cay, the starboard side is the best side of a Disney cruise ship because it faces the beach of Port Canaveral, where you can wave to everyone on the beach as the ship sets sail.
It may be tempting to party like a pirate in the middle of the top deck because that's where all the action is. However, you'll have a lousy view of the fireworks from there.

DCL is the only ones in the world to do fireworks at sea, but if you notice when you leave port on fireworks night, the other ships get closer than at any other time. The captains do this so their poor miserable people can see the fireworks too!

Generally speaking, rooms located on higher decks or the middle of each deck plan (known as midship or mid) are considered more preferable than lower decks or staterooms that are forward (front of the ship) or aft (rear of the ship).
Northbound Alaska cruises sail up the coastline through the Inside Passage and along Hubbard Glacier, so your best view of Alaska's scenic landmasses are likely on the starboard side of the ship. Southbound Alaska cruises are the opposite.
Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the most excellent spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much. The front and back of the ship are a no-no.
