The pros are the ship was newer with deep pools and nice hot tubs. My daughter loved the waterside. The drinks tasted good. I liked most of the entertainment on the ship.
The main con was the food. Very disappointing. MSC needs to post an update. The last health was in May where MSC Seaside posted a horrific 67.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The main dining service was very slow. Most nights it took 2 hours to complete our meals. Two nights were good with the fish soup, curry lamb and lamb chops. The rest of the nights were from poor to average. But the alternative was to go to the buffet. The food there was always cold even the soup and eggs. The taste of the food seemed ok but can't get past the temperature of the food. There's no way that food is safe at those temperatures. I had a stomach ache most of the week. I read on the internet that MSC Seaside failed its health report by posting a 67. I don't think they have done anything to improve on that score.

The room service person was excellent. The main servers and bar tenders were efficient but not very friendly.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship was well maintained. I did not like all the mirrors. It looked so cheesy on a new ship.
