Review summary

Absolutely beautiful ship!!! The food is really good! Juni was our waiter for the week and anticipated our every request and whim. Really pleased with our cabin steward, Rudy! Much improvement needed in customer service and relations. Staff was rude, callous, and dismissive. No real entertainment options outside of nightly theatrical presentations. Entertainment options needed to be inclusive of diversified cultures represented on the ship.

Ship tip

Bring aboard and card games for entertainment and to pass time. Other than the nightly theatre show, the ship sorely lacks engaging entertainment. Also has several negative interactions with guest services staff. I found them to be quite rude, sarcastic, and dismissive when concerns were brought to their attention; especially one customer service rep by the name of Marisa.

Interesting that you said "Staff was rude, callous, and dismissive." We sailed Seaside in January and found customer service not to be very good. They had a real problem saying yes. Seems like they haven't fixed it yet, or maybe it's just not the Italian way to be accomodating when guests have problems. All I know is that it was our first and last cruise on MSC (for that and other reasons, like the mediocre food).
