Does MSC Cruises have a shuttle from Orlando to Port Canaveral? Yes, Go Port offers MSC shuttles from Orlando to Port Canaveral for just $29.99 per person.
If you're in terminal 1 or 3 then you'll be able to walk to some activities like Jetty Park, the Cove, and Exploration Tower. To head out to Cocoa Beach you can also catch the local beach bus (for schedule and routes click here).
There's no need to leave a tip. One area that is not covered is the bar. If you purchase a drink on the ship (assuming you don't have the drink package) then there is a 18% bar service charge added on automatically for North American cruises and 15% for other trips.
MSC ships have complimentary food venues to satisfy a wide range of palettes and preferences, including a large buffet and main dining room, which provides meals all day, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Tea, coffee, iced tea, juice, and water are free onboard, although bottled water is an extra charge.
For being such a cheap cruise, I was impressed by the variety of activities and programming on the ship. I was impressed by the amount of family-friendly fun on MSC Seaside, and there were enough activities to keep guests of all ages entertained.
