Review summary

This cruise was highly anticipated ever since I saw MSC Seaside commercials. I did extensive research and decided to try. I was not disappointed this is the cleanest ship I have ever been on! I hope that’s not just because of COVID. The only downfall is the constant attempt to up-sale you. There were also some nights where the menu wasn’t the best, however I never went hungry. Next time my husband and I will go alone and will skip the dining room if we don’t like the menu.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Considering the amount of people that get Covid testing (everyone), embarkation was relatively smooth. 1 hour from door to ship

Ship experiences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was always friendly. And seemed generally happy to have you on board. We boarded when there were a lot of new crew members boarding so there were some still on “orientation” but it didn’t show.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Balcony far aft but not aft. Just steps away from the open air aft elevators made this room very convenient to get to indoor and outdoor activities.

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Booked a tour that was called the top 10 best. Do not book on the ship! Wait until you get off and it will only be $25. Next time we will stay in the port area and use the pool or beach. Or go to an all inclusive resort for the day.

Beautiful sail away but to stay in Miami is expensive. We took a 2 day cruise to alleviate this cost :)
