Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The worst buffet I’ve ever experienced comparing to the other cruising I’ve done. Same foods served at lunch, dinner and left overs pretty much gets served as midnight snacks. I usually gain few lbs after cruising & this time I’ve lost weights after cruising. I felt like I was in strictly on diets.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

I’ve booked deluxe room with balcony on the deck 12. The worst room I’ve ever stayed in cruise. The cruise Itself needs renovations it’s a very old cruise and rooms are all old and filthy. Everything is falling apart from the beds to the carpets are so gross & smelly. Will never take MSC Seaside again for sure.
