Review summary

Overall MSC Seashore is a excellent ship - unlike most of carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Holland, Celebrity, etc. Excellent floor plan - loads of places to catch breathtaking views of ocean. Most of the negative experience came from full booked ship. 70% of the crew & passengers were Non-English speaking.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation took 20 minutes from the time we handed over luggage to when we reached dining hall.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Cruise Ship was full, every room in the cruise ship was occupied. Side affect of the full ship long lines for food and entertainment.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Onboard activities equipment was well maintained, few guests were rude and occupied SPA, pool seats for extended periods of time.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Performers looked tired and didn't have a lot of energy while performing their shows.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Kids club and teen clubs have too many good activities to keep them busy.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
May be because of a full ship crew members were not able to keep up with the demand. Most of the staff & guests were not English speaking, they couldn't even understand English.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship had a really good flow and floor plan.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good View and cleanly maintained.

Ship tip

Be prepared for Non-English speaking Staff & Guests.

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Did not visit port

Ship couldn't be ported because of a Storm.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Visited Dunn Riverfalls and Bobsled in the jungle. Jamaica has too many activities and courteous people. Would definitely go back here again.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
This is a small island, booked Cayman by land & sea tour. We had fun interacting with Stingrays.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
Cozumel was Hot + Humid and did not even have a proper beach. Not suitable to visit this place with Kids, drug everywhere.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
From the time we started in the cabin, it took 20 minutes to complete immigration & getting luggage back. It took Customs/Immigration 4 hours to clear the ship, before passengers could start disembarkation.
