FCC Winter 2025 Conference

The MSC Seashore departs from Port Canaveral - just a 50 minute ride from Orlando International Airport.

You can easily do this through the free MSC For Me app you can download.

It will ask your booking number (an 8 digit number starting with a 4 or 5 - this should be in a reservation confirmation email from MSC) If you can't find this let me know.

You will also associate a credit card with your cabin as there is no money exchanged on board. This is very important as you will not be able to disembark the ship without settling any purchases you made on board.

YES! PLEASE check your passport and make sure it will be valid at least 6 months from the time of travel - January 2025. If not, make sure to renew it immediately as processing times may have been affected due to Covid.

You will fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO).

Plan to arrive no later than the morning of Thursday January 16 , 2025. The ship begins boarding at 10 AM and departs at 5 PM.

Consultants will want to arrive in Port Canaveral no later than the morning of Wednesday January 15, 2025.

Prior to sailing, please make sure your phone has "wifi calling" enabled. This is generally done through your phone settings or your provider. Make sure in your phone this setting is enabled. 

With your cabin you will have 2 wifi connections included (plus premium drinks!). If you have multiple people in your cabin and you all plan on using multiple devices - cell phone, computer, etc - make sure to upgrade your package to the desired amount of devices (4, 6, etc...)

Attire at all FCC conferences is Tropical Casual / Business Casual. FCC branded Polo, shorts and flip flops are my preferred daytime conference outfit. Consider this a working vacation.
