MSC Seashore: 11-Night Cruise from Port Canaveral - December 27, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Just outside the main city, the Ocean World marina area offers a quieter waterfront setting with restaurants, coastal views, and a relaxed vibe.

The MSC Seashore carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Nassau, Bahamas. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Downtown Nassau is full of color, energy, and history.

Your ship arrives in Ocean Cay, Bahamas at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The island's clear, shallow lagoon is ideal for swimming and snorkeling.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Port Canaveral, Florida, from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Explore the iconic Kennedy Space Center, where you can learn about space history, view rockets, and experience interactive exhibits.
