Review summary

This was our first cruise and honestly don't know if we'll ever take another one due to the bad experience on the MSC Seaside the food was horrible the music was nothing but Latin stuck at sea for four days due to a crew member committing suicide and the group of people that we was with have been on numerous cruises and said that this is the worst they've ever been on all the way around

And by the way it is maritime law that the ship stays looking for the person overboard until the coast guard clears them. It is very selfish of this person to get all upset over this time spent at sea when even the captain had no control over it. You can not hate the cruise company for that at all.

I have been the Divina and think it was great..they are still finding their way in the US but are doing a great job! Ships are beautiful..food was great...best pizza at sea! Comment on hotdogs and hamburgers had to be at the dinner buffet kids korner...they have special food areas fir kids which I think is great..hotdogs, burgers, chicken nuggets..fries..everything kids like..so kudos to them for that...overall oir experience was very good!

MSC is a great cruise line don't let negative feedbacks detour you from trying it. Might I add carnival, RC, pretty much all the cruise line have some negative reviews meaning there's not one perfect cruise ship

Plus they must have just stuck to one part of the buffet if all she found was hotdogs and hamburgers. I know from Divina that there are a lot bigger selection to the food then just that.

I agree Yashu, some people just can't have a good time no matter what. And someone lost their life on this cruise and she's complaining about being stuck at sea...seriously. You can't please everyone, and I'm positive there is more than hamburgers and hot dogs every night.

MademoiselleE don't let the bad reviews make you choose who to cruise with. I can find you bad reviews for every cruise ship out there. Those are just the people who have the worst of it. I've sailed with MSC and love them. There are a lot of people out there who enjoy MSC a great deal. You just have to remember to take these reviews with a grain of salt and let those grumpy people complain, they are probably this grumpy at home every day as well.
