Review summary

I overall loved my first MSC cruise! I will be back on MSC and I’d love to return to the Seashore!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Pretty quick, easy, and smooth!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was overall really good! The food in the buffet was very good! The pizza is some of the best pizza at sea! The MDR was pretty good for dinner and breakfast is a lot better than the buffet crowd wise.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

This ship has lots of pools, including an indoor pool! The waterpark on this ship is pretty impressive as it’s built in the funnel and they have 4 super fast and fun slides! Lots of hot tubs and go to the ones on the port or starboard side on deck 8! Those are some very nice hot tubs, I spent several hours there 2 days in a row!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

This ship had some pretty awesome shows and parties! We had the glow party (an amazing party!!), tropical party, white party, and sunshine party (another awesome party!) MSC knows how to party and encourages everyone to join the party! The shows we saw were great! We saw Total Divas, Magic Martin, and Rock Royalty!!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

I will say at times we had to wait a while before getting acknowledged that we were sitting at the bar and no one had taken our order. However, it’s a big busy ship with only like 2-3 bartenders per bar so do keep that in mind and pack your patience. Our room steward Robert was awesome! Very welcoming, attentive, and quick! Our two waiters in the dining room, I don’t remember their names, but our drinks guy was on point, friendly, and always smiling! Our main waiter was the complete opposite.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This ship is BEAUTIFUL!! Crew members were constantly cleaning everywhere! The ship is clean, beautiful, modern, and fancy!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was our first time in a balcony!! Loved our rooms location right by the forward elevators! Loved having the balcony! Very nice and modern cabin!

Ship tip

Don’t listen to the negative reviews! Book your MSC Seashore cruise and try it for yourself!! You’re on a cruise after all!! Also do one with an overnight to Ocean Cay!

We are going on Seashore soon. This will be our 4th MSC cruise. We've been on sime of the other cruiselines - Carnival, Princess, Norwegian, and just recently Celebrity. I would say Celebrity was our favorite so far. HOWEVER, even Celebrity could not touch the quality of Entertainment MSC offers. MSC comes in a close second when it comes to the food. I am hopeful it will all be the same as in the past.
