Other things to note...
There are no Covid-19 vaccine or testing requirements for this cruise.
Parking at the port for a 3 night cruise is $72.76. There are plenty of off site parking options in the area for a much more reasonable rate. Try Park Port Canaveral for an offsite option. They often have promo codes available. I paid $80.08 for a week recently.
Passports are strongly encouraged, but not required. Please see MSC's documentation requirements here.
There are service charges per person per day that are essentially tips for the cabin stewards, wait staff, etc. For 12 and older, this cost is $14.50 per day and for children under 12 this cost is $7.25.
Should you choose to stay pre-cruise in Florida, there are several decent hotel options right by the port. It's likely to be less expensive farther out. Jacksonville is approximately 2 hours from the port. The ship’s departure is at 5 PM. Boarding would need to take place a few hours earlier. It is approximately 7 hours from home to the port, but plan for a least an extra hour for parking, cruise check in, etc.
The cost of the cruise includes the cabin, port taxes and fees, meals in the main dining room or buffet, and basic drinks such as water and (unsweetened) tea. Alcohol, sodas, and specialty coffee drinks are a surcharge. There are also many included activities as well as paid activities such as bowling or the Formula 1 simulator.
MSC offers a one-time loyalty status match to other cruise lines, airlines, and hotels.
