Review summary

I took 7 cruises in 2018 and booked the MSC Seaside for their Christmas cruise thinking it would be a great experience. Boy was I wrong. The crew was less than friendly. We left the port of Miami and two days later we got to San Juan. I was ready to pack my bags get off in San Juan and fly back home. The ship was dirty, the public areas where nice, but the public restrooms where disgusting. The food was horrible, just bland and taste less. The staff/crew didn't greet or welcomed us on board. It was not until dinner that the host, and only the host greeted us. She was the only person that helped us and provided suggestions to deal with our situation. we weren't able to sleep the first three nights on the ship because the people in the room next to us kept screaming at each other. I had to call Guest Services 6 times before anything was done and they sent someone to speak to them. The crew had a part at the pool deck and turn the music so loud that we couldn't sleep nor relax in our rooms. If you are looking to relax while at see, this is not the cruise for you. The show where amazing! but other than that, it was my worst cruise this year and my worst cruse ever. I will never travel with MSC ever again.

only one metal detector for a ship with over 5000 passangers. Took 2 hours to get on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

the bathroom is weird. You have to sit sideways on the toilet cause otherwise your knees will hit the sink stand door. The room had a sofa that had some very questionable stains on it.

FYI...If someone doesn't understand your language, repeating yourself won't make them understand.

Travel agent with no cruise history - sounds suspicious-

We really enjoyed the Seaside. Enough that we're doing the Seaview next year in the Mederterrian
