MSC Seaside

7 Night Western Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip)

Sail date: June 02, 2018

Ship: MSC Seaside

Cabin number: 18020

Review summary

While staff is very friendly it seems like they are understaffed by about 10-15% The attention to detail we loved about the MSC Divina was missing. We stayed in the Yacht Club and it was notable. I can't imagine what it was like in other parts of the ship.

Ship tip

The kid tracker they advertise is not available, so don't rely on having it. Bring walkie-talkies to communicate on board.

I noticed that too, not enough staff. My statesroom Attendant seems very stressed. Thank you for your review.
