MSC Seaside

7 Night Eastern Caribbean & Bahamas (Miami Roundtrip)

Sail date: October 13, 2018

Ship: MSC Seaside

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Singles/Friends

Reviewed: 6 years ago

Review summary

The ship is beautiful. The balcony was cleaned every other day which is great. I hate looking through dirty glass. The nightly shows were fantastic! Book them early. The food in the main dining rooms was just ok. The biggest issue was the Bar service! Very slow. The employees have these hand held devices that slow the process down for completing a drink transaction. Most cruisers purchased the drink package so you can imagine the frustration to want to use this effectively.

How was your experience and how was the weather?

Yes you book your shows onboard. You can use the many touch screens to do so. They usually gave the same show three times per night

Do you book shows online or aboard? I can’t find anything online about what’s available for entertainment and I will be on MSC Seaside next week - all the cruise I’ve been on, (this is my 3rd this year alone) I’ve never booked entertainment

Drink package was a free upgrade on our cruise last week. I think that was part of the problem.
