Review summary

Besides the flaws present at the ship that doesn't ruin my cruise trip vacation, just remind there some rude passengers especially Italian they re some quite cold hearted" NOT EVERYONE " Taking aside that note I enjoyed I a good way of relax way, the better way is going to the Thermal pass that worth the extra charge it feels rejuvenated, service were astounding in Specialty Dining, in buffet hit or miss long lines of course and people skipping Lines, the main dining wasn't was I expected better was buffet, but Main dining in breakfast that's quite a service I really recommend Please note if your prom to motion sick better book middle section and lower than deck 12 cause the ship rock a little half of the trip there were some bad weather nearby causing rough waves.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was Easy even I have a 1pm Embarkation I arrive early like 10:30Am they let me in and received boarding group 1, not so much Crowd of course, later on the day it was very packed like you expected from 1st day, Buffet was impossible by Any means difficult to get a seat

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food in the Buffet was quite good but not a Wow, Main dining only once Didn't Like it and they take a long time to serve your entrée, Drinks package didn't have just the base cruise, but specialty dessert Gelato worth the money, included Ice Cream is only the buffet from 3pm to 4pm just see the ice cream machine

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
This ship have everything to get enjoy for real it has more pools like any other cruise lines but keep in mind they get crowded very easy, just is better at days of ports to use the pools and some other amenities, The Spa is still the as Seashore but I enjoyed more this in this ship than Seashore And I meant The Thermal Spa worth the Price really, the Waterpark is really amazing and the new addition robotron worth the money

Entertainment

3 out of 5
They were hit or miss to be honestly , some were good and some were nah, and I meant in generally, three were some good activities and there wasn't good, Theater shows were most good except the duo singer Live didn't like it, sorry it was boring and disappointing. The performances of the other show were good but not too far, the acrobatics show of the first day was the best.. the comedian the adult section was very rate R very good

Pirates Cove Aquapark

5 out of 5

Been there one day not very crowded enjoy all slides and amenities

Hall of Games

Spend some time there like the 4XD Cinena shooting action, and the VR games also Robotron

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
Don't have children but always full for babies to teenagers, they always have fun but some parts seems parents don't supervised their children's they are all gathered sometimes even in adult nightclub

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room steward was new from the deck 13 it was from Yatch Club, he was very respectful and willing to help, it was in Customer service more that you can count almost I feel like a VIP member jajaaja but is related to my credit card even Notified them I will be traveling internationally and specify where I'm going they several times they stop transactions because they believe it was fraud, but Customer Services From Msc always help me. There some waiter in the buffet they were a little rude if I say to them don't want the drink package if they offered me, but thankfully they don't insist

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The layout is wrap around is quite stunning, those Stairs from the Atrium are all Swavroski Cristal best for photos just like the Bridge of the Sight from better Panorámica pica, beautiful ship very well cleaned maintained, but one thing I disagree is the flow of the Elevator doesn't seems to fill demands of so many people they get delayed often from 3min to 10min sometimes say 2min then time passes and doesn't arrive and the Time increases that system doesn't work

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Balcony Cabin is BR2 with bathtub which I'm not very fan, bathroom very is spacious, closet very decent space in cabin is fine very clean and shiny, Balcony is quite good don't complain really enjoy it Cabin was 13168

Ship tip

You must try The Robotorn is for Adredaline Junkies The ship layout is similar to all Seaside Class ships, service is a little better than Seashore but still some flaws, overall is a good ship with low budget

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Didn't have Excursion but as Always Miami is beautiful, there is a lot of construction going on nearby

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
My hometown it was half sunny and half Rainy later afternoon it was very stormy with thunderstorm, netherless I enjoyed the ships pools, San Juan is very easily to Explore and quite a opportunity to window shopping and eat a great puertorican food

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
My favorite Island so beautiful and very easy walking the best beach is near the lighthouse the only bad thing in the afternoon a bad weather came in until late afternoon and Seas were very rough at night delaying departure until almost midnight There evidence that they will have some new projects coming soon

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Taino Bay expand To Stage 2 now have Lazy River and more stores and Taino Bay sing with pics moments, I Did Ocean World Excursion and I Really blown Away with this Aqua Park and the Dolphin Show is the Best of all, they also have Sea Lion Show, Birds Show and shark presentation

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
