If scheduling flights from Fort Lauderdale for the day the ship returns, MSC recommends to do so after 12:30pm to allow enough time to get off the ship, and pass through customs. If flying from Miami please schedule flights after 1:30. This is MSC's recommendation; please book flights at your own risk.
We’re working hard on getting our Cruisers the best rates. Stay tuned for updates!
Weather in the Caribbean this time of year is generally warm. But since some of the shows will be taking place outdoors in the middle of the ocean, there is the chance of it being cool. We suggest bringing some warm clothing just to be on the safe side. Other than that, anticipate wearing t-shirts and shorts pretty much the entire time. Bring your cameras and enough film to capture the entire event, ear plugs, sunscreen, bathing suit, costumes for theme nights and rain gear.
No illegal substances, alcohol, non-alcoholic beverages, food, weapons, or pets. The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited on Jam Cruise. All laws pertaining to drug use should be respected.
No. MSC Cruise Lines does not permit any food or beverage to be brought onboard. Alcoholic beverages will not be sold or served to anyone under the age of 21. We reserve the right to refuse the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone. Alcoholic beverages purchased in the ship's gift shops or in ports of call will be retained by MSC Cruise Lines until the end of the voyage.
Boarding is from 1:00 - 5:00pm on the day of departure. Click for information and a map of the Port Everglades Cruise Terminal.
As you will be traveling outside of the US and visiting foreign countries, we advise that all US Citizens have a valid Passport when attending Jam Cruise. Passengers without passports can use an original (no photocopies) birth certificate and photo ID to board the ship (and you will be allowed to leave the ship to visit the ports of call). Be advised, passengers MUST have a valid passport to embark or disembark in Roatan, Honduras and Costa Maya Mexico. All foreign travelers should check with their local authorities to confirm that you have the appropriate travel documents to board a ship bound for Mexico and Honduras.
There is no limit to how many bags you would like to bring onboard, however be mindful that storage space in cabins is limited. Both carry on and checked bags will go through security. Make sure your luggage is tagged with the MSC luggage tags you will receive at the port.
Absolutely! Check back for announcements.

The official Jam Cruise Hotel is the Harbor Beach Marriott. Visit The Voyage page for all the details and booking code.
Check-in time on January 4, 2011 will begin promptly at 1:00pm. You MUST be on the ship no later that 5:00pm as we will set sail at 6:00pm. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
On January 9, 2011, disembarkation will begin at 8:00 am.
All shipboard accommodations, ocean transportation, all port charges, all service charges, greening fees, all government taxes, most meals, all onboard entertainment.
While on board, all alcoholic and soft drinks (not including tea, coffee & juices) will be charged to your sign and sail card, which you will establish credit for upon check-in. (MSC accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express). Either put down a credit card or you may open a sign and sail card with a $200 deposit.
No there are no ATM's onboard the Poesia. Plan ahead if you are planning to gamble in the casino, or pay with cash at the merchandise store or at the port stops. You will be able to get cash advances from the Pursers office once onboard. All official Jam Cruise merchandise and band merchandise can be paid by cash or credit card.
For those of you who can't leave the "real" world behind there is an Internet Café that is open 24 hours. Rates will be available onboard. Wireless access will also be available in limited areas.
Most bands on board will be performing two scheduled shows (and who knows what other jam sessions might arise in the Jam Room!)
All performances will take place on board the Poesia. We feel you'll need a few hours to recover your senses and relax in the sun at the port stops.
Music will start with a kick off sail away party on the first day of the cruise, continuing well into the night. Headlining shows will last from approximately 9:30pm - 2am. Late night shows will begin soon after. Music begins daily at 11:00 am on the pool deck, and essentially goes around the clock.
The schedule for Jam Cruise 9 will be posted a few weeks before we sail. Music will take place at multiple venues on board the ship. We want to make sure that you'll be able to see each and every band on board perform an entire show, so they'll be no overlapping. No two bands will both perform at the same time twice.
We are working with the artists to have them each be a part of something special on board. Since this is one of the most intimate festivals to ever take place, we feel it's important for those taking part to experience things they wouldn't otherwise be a part of. Music workshops, autograph signing sessions, fan friendly events and other forms of non-music entertainment are being planned as we type this.
MSC offers many land excursions (w/ additional charges) while at port. Go parasailing, scuba diving or snorkeling. Packages will be announced and will be available for purchase onboard.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, plus various buffet style snack times, plus a midnight buffet.
There will be open dining on board in the main dining room from 6:00-9:30pm and a full buffet upstairs on the pool deck.
The MSC Poesia has a wide variety of food available to passengers with various dietary needs. Vegetarian meals will be an option at each meal throughout the cruise.
Think resort casual for the entire time, however stay tuned to Activities Announcements for special dress up theme nights.
