This was our first cruise and frankly we didnt know what to expect. It outdent have been on a better ship.
Considering they have to organise 5000 people they did an amazing job .
Totally recommend MSC and specially the Seaside
Already looking at other place to go to for our next cruise
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Although the ship departed at 19.00 hrs we embarked around 13.00hrs which despite quite a number of people it went smoothly and we had a great buffet lunch
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Dont believe any negative comments you read the Buffet food for Breakfast and Lunch plus the table served food at dinner was amazing with a great choice. The service at dinner was perfect despite the amount of people and I have to mention are great waiter Vikash who made us feel very special
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Each night you are given a list of the following days activities - Frankly there is something for everyone no matter what your age or choosing.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
This is the highlight of the Cruise - It was really West End/Broadway quality. Great performances wonderful voices and magnificent costumes
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Again ignore the negative comments - everyone we came into contact were very polite and friendly - Just a tip say hello to everyone.
A special mention to our room steward Sudha who looked after us amazingly
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Again after reading the reviews we thought the cabin was going to be very very small but to our surprise it was fine.
Ship tip
Please go with an open mind and not wit any pre-set ideas- Try to do things that you really want to do and not to just go with the crowd - in this way you will be able to take advantage of what this wonderful ship can offer
We booked the visit independently but on arrival had the bad luck to be advised it was cancelled. A kind person from MSC managed to sort it out for us and issued us a voucher to the Bamboo beach club. We were able to get some pretty good beach time
