Review summary

On the whole, a cruise on the MSC Seaside is amazing and affordable. The quality of everything MSC does just seems to be a notch hire than other cruise lines, even at a lower price point. The culture on board is very family friendly. I never felt like other’s were annoyed that my kids were their having a good time, they even had extra diapers for free in the bathrooms. The whole experience left me feeling cultured and valued. I loved that they embraced diversity and do everything they can to make sure that all guests, not just Americans, have a great experience. At MSC they never really say goodbye, instead they say, “arrivederci.” Which is Italian for “until we meet again.” And that really captures my sentiments about MSC and the Seaside. I cannot wait to sail with MSC cruises again, on the Seaside, or onboard their many other ships.

Everything was amazing. but we didn't get any towel animals. That's a small extra thing we've grown accustom to that we really missed on the Seaside.
