The MSC Seascape 7-day Eastern Carribean cruise (no stop in bahamas) was a great value for the money allowing us to afford a much higher level room than on other ships with similar destinations! We LOVED sitting out on our balcony for a more private experience than the public decks.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was very orderly. We did not have to wait in any long lines.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The buffet was not appealing. Many food items (meats in particular) were of very low quality and there were many unsanitary practices from guests such as using fingers to pick up items, placing drinking edge of personal containers on spout while refilling personal water bottles, etc. and some staff were not wearing gloves while preparing food. The food and experience in the complimentary restaurants was much better.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There was plenty to do for people of all ages, pools of course, but also ping-pong and board games, arts and crafts (we made t-shirts), ballroom dancing, and master chef competition, just to name a few.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Some show themes were a bit cheesy, but the entertainers were very talented and included singer, dancers, and contortionists.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Reading other reviews caused me to anticipate not so friendly staff, but that was not my experience at all. Everyone we encountered was friendly and most were very helpful! Our cabin attendant and waiters were very delightful!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship felt very classy, especially the main atrium area.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our cabin had a few stains in the carpet and countertops that made it feel a little less clean, but overall it was a nice room and comfortable enough for 2 people.
Ship tip
The pricing fluctuated quite a bit for our cruise. It actually seemed to go down quite significantly very close to the sailing date. If you have time, watch the prices for a while before booking. If you see a really low price, chances are it will come back again if you decide to wait to see if the prices go even lower.
We went to Ocean World to play with animals. This excursion is nice and we got some great pictures, but it is too long to allow you to really see the city before or afterwards.
Thanks for the review. I was on this sailing as well and you are right about the buffet. The seasoning must have jumped ship before we left Miami. The main dining areas were much, much better as well as the 2 speciality restaurants I booked. I loved how interactive the bartenders were, especially at the Casino Bar. They sang and dance with us. Pretty fun trip overall. I'm booked on their new ship that's coming next year. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. 👍🏾
