Review summary

The ship was full to capacity, service was EXTREMLEY slow with EXCESSIVE delays and the staff was NOT well versed with ENGLISH language not to mentioned their INEXPERIENCE. This was our 1st time and our last time cruising with MSC. We was looking forward to possible becoming a Yacht Club members IF we enjoyed this experience -it's a hard pass for this cruise line. We did not enjoy this at all, very awful experience in which every person we spoke with shared the same experience-AWFUL. It started from the check in process and surprisingly was consistent to dismemberment process-NO IMPROVEMENT. The only positive was the 40 minute shows-we liked and the musicians are very talented. Please cruise elsewhere it was a great let down overall.

I sailed on MSC Seaside in early 2018, and I still get surprised by the overall subpar performance. Thank you for your review.

This is the second negative review for the April 19th sailing. I am starting to think it was that sailing that was bad and not an overall view of the company
