FYI MSC does charge a $250 security deposit upon boarding, unbeknownst to us. Would like to have known that at time of booking. Found out on day two, but didn't ruin our cruise though, it was refunded after the cruise. Must see the Swarvoski crystals stairs. A lot of cruisers and staff were sick and tested positive for Covid and the flu after the cruise. Hope MSC put in place a Covid-flu protocol before setting sail. Definitely cruising with MSC again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Boarding was quick. MSC allowed us to board earlier than our check in time. Gave us time to check out the ship.

MSC Seaside, had a heavy dose of techno and reggaeton. Wished they offered other genres of music. The live bands were great though.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was great! Spacious for the two of us (adults). Queen size bed, plus there's a let out sofa that sleeps 2 or 3. Had a nice size balcony. Mini bar frig. Shower is tight, but expected.
Ship tip
Attend all of the nightly theater shows, you wont be sorry.
Walk it, relax on it, swim it, or take in the view from your balcony. LOL, since it's a reserve, everything is protected...you cant take the large beautiful shells and no eating conch on the beach from the ocean like at the other Bahamas islands.
Tourist trap, but love it. Buy, buy, buy, spend, spend,spend. The Cantina restaurant was great. Get the coconut drinks at the La Fruteria stand next to the dolphin exhibit. Try the fish-foot spa.
Many cruise lines put a freeze on a couple of hundred dollars on the credit card you've listed. You may not know about it unless your credit card sends you a notification. The amount will be released after the cruise.
