We have our first MSC cruise coming up in May out of Port Canaveral on Seaside. It has been 30 years since we cruised out of Port Canaveral. We find Fort Lauderdale cruise terminal easy to drop off and park…how does Port Canaveral compare? Yes there is parking at the terminal
Seaside will overnight at Ocean Cay on the second night, which is usually a sailing’s first formal night. Does anybody know what the dress code is for that night? Nice dress for women, Suit or collared shirt for men (think a bit dressy-but you can just wear nice apparel as well-they will not allow shorts in the DR on formal nights)
Does Seaside have the system of keeping your card in the slot to keep the lights on in your cabin? Yes and it must be their card because it reads the chip in the card.
We purchased the Fun Pass. Is there any activity it does not include? And do you need to make reservations for any activities? No and no....
Although shows are free some cruise lines require you to make reservations…does MSC? And are any shows not free? Yes you can do this at a kiosk or on your MSC for Me app. It really becomes alive when you are on the ship-all shows are free on the Sea Class ships.
We are not yet at 60 days prior to sailing and the app is not really that informative…hoping that changes at 60 days. Yes it needs to be on the ship to activate
Regarding MSC customer service, I have experienced those agents who seem to know nothing as well as those agents who are both knowledgeable and helpful. So I concur with others who say it is hit-or-miss. Our kids decided to surprise us by paying the balance on our cruise. The first agent said it was impossible - the second agent got it done without any issue. Sadly I concur.... They just brought in a bunch of new hires and are still working on training....
Thank you in advance for any information you provide.
