If the white clouds in this gallery are similar to what you want, I usually underexpose to as to retain detail all throught he highlight area -- avoid any blown-our areas -- and then carefully adjust with one or more Curves to bring out as much detail/tonal range as possible. Careful tinting with a single-channel Curve (e.g. the Blue Curve) or by making it a duotone.
ETA: I've only recently gotten a polarizer, but yes, it may help bring out detail/contrast in clouds, depending on their orientation with respect to the sun.
There are also Photoshop techniques to make photos into true or pseudo-3D images; the kind you look at with bi-colored glasses, or stereo images.

Yes, a circular polarizer. Google is your friend, or just search B&H. Should be in every photographer's bag. |

Shoot through the glasses? ;)
Or, as suggested, buy a C-PL.

| I have 4 or 5 filters and the CPOL is by far my favorite. It does wonders to skies and cuts through haze nicely and helps eliminate glare and reflections. |

The CPL is great for water too.
