Will I have signal on the ferry to Port Fouad?

Yes. The free ferry across the canal to Port Fouad is short and stays within range of the city's masts, so your 4G holds the whole way, plenty for photos and videos of the ships passing behind you.

Is Port Said easy to reach from Cairo with data on arrival?

Port Said is around three hours from Cairo by road or train. Install your eSIM before travelling and activate it on arrival, or in Cairo, so you have maps and messaging throughout the journey without hunting for local SIMs.
