Overall it was a great cruise but the food and service did not measure to other cruise lines.

Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Main dining room was very nice but the food did not measure up to other cruise lines. The drink package was a joke, could have any beer bottle or can free as l one as it cost $5.50 or less. Of the 20 or so choices available, NONE were $5.50 or less, so we had to end up drinking draft beer which turns out to be only ONE choice, take it or leave it. Same absurd policy applied to wine and cocktails.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Dance classes were a lot of fun.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The main shows were absolutely wonderful!
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Compared to other ships where the staff smiles, is friendly and helpful, the staff on the MSC Seaside were efficient but that is about it, just doing their job but nothing more, no smiles, no interaction, no friendliness.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Beautiful ship, very clean. The pools were all very small and crowded. We misssed the running/walking around the ship, found in other ships.
