A wonderful experience on the Seaside. Great ship, great entertainment. A must do!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
As smooth as it gets. Less than 20 minutes from arriving to the port until get inside the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The fact that they have two buffet areas make it a lot easier. No overwhelming crowds and always found available tables. Breakfast was ok, the basics, Lunch and Dinner were ok, they even had lamp chops. MDR service was good. I used the 5:15pm seating, and I had a great service from the waiters. Food quality has definitely more space for improvement. Don't forget to try the pizzas. Delicious!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The main pool on deck 16 has a lot of sunbathing spaces. They have an adult's pool area on deck 7 that was very nice and quiet. In addition, the other pool on deck 18 brings more options.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Amazing entertainment, from shows to performers. Kudos to Jeff, the cruise activities director, he really did an amazing job. Always something fun to do and enjoy.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Overall, the service received from the staff was good. Most of them were friendly and tried to be as fast and amicable as possible. The ship was fully booked, and of course, they were kind of overwhelmed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Flawless. Clean and well maintained. This is a really nice and pretty ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For a solo traveler was ok. Bathroom was smaller than other cruises.

Don't let bad reviews influence your decision. This an amazing cruise. First time with MSC and definitely won't be my last one.
