MSC Seaside Reviews

poor tasting food[most of the time],horrible reception desk employees,wi-fi did not work and fun pass was a waste of money[things you need fun pass for open very limited hours] would not recommend MSC to my worst enemy,I would recommend using ROYAL CARRIBBEAN as they are far superior!!!

Aura package is worth it to buy cause it is unlimited alcohol Whitin $7.50 price including bottles water and unlimited gelato icecream + spa facilities

Did not enjoy the cruise at all. None in my group like either.

We chose the Aurea package and the 2 free massages were not open to book on sea days. Very disappointing. Seemed very much like bait and switch, because you could book the massage if paying, but not in the package.

The ship was great. Service was fair at best. You had to figure things out for yourself. Food in dining room was just OK. Specialty restaurants were the best. Very clean pools. Seawater pool was great. Clean up of tables was poor. Cabin cleaning was poor. Sounds bad, but the ship was beautiful and slides great.

Spent more money on this booking than previous trips with other cruise lines and had the most disappointing experience. Will not book with MSC again.

My husband & mom will not go on this ship again. My son & I would. I am a very low maintenance woman who can get by with very little on vacation. For the price we paid, I thought it was a good deal. The service & wait staff need more training. I thought that there might have been a lack of totally understanding English. The whole dining room experience was just plain odd. The food was only okay. Beautiful ship, plenty to do. Theater too small for that size of ship. Bathroom too small. Very little storage.

Yacht has a priority card that overrides and floor that you try to go to. They need their own elevator. It holds up and confused others on the elevator. The entertainment was excellent and very colorful costumes. We asked for early dining and got 7:15, but had it changed to 5:15. I thought the backdrops for photos were very dark and old fashioned. Did not like them at all. But the cruise was great and the ship. Still like MSC Devina better.

Felt like a very budget cruise. Veryunderstaffed ship. Food is terrible.

great experience, plenty pizza pasta, fruits, breads

Europeans very rude on ship, Ship is big and beautiful. Too many people.

First time on MSC. I would definitely go back with MSC.

Staying in the yacht club you are treated extremely well, excellent food, personal service could not be better, the only way to cruise

I would definitely recommend the Seaside, the ship is beautiful, crew is very nice and helpful, only thing it could be improved is the food variety. Shows are very good, they were sold out every night, the performances are a bit repetitive but enjoyable, cruise activities director was lovely.

This ship was beautiful and clean but overall service and food experience (compared to other cruise lines we've been on) was poor. We were very disappointed and will not sail MSC again.

Food was not good and no seafood choices unless you paid. Service not good.

This was our 28th Wedding anniversary and I was not pleased with this cruise. Other cruise lines go out of their way to make your Anniversary great! I you wanted anything special on this cruise you had to buy it! They nickeled and dimed you to death We will never go on a MSC cruise again!

Nightly entertainment was fantastic, and well worth the cruise alone.

The ship is beautiful. The balcony was cleaned every other day which is great. I hate looking through dirty glass. The nightly shows were fantastic! Book them early. The food in the main dining rooms was just ok. The biggest issue was the Bar service! Very slow. The employees have these hand held devices that slow the process down for completing a drink transaction. Most cruisers purchased the drink package so you can imagine the frustration to want to use this effectively.

I liked the 3 dinner time options (5:15, 7:15 and 9:15). Specialty restaurant meals were far superior over dining room meals. The Bar Service Call Buttons individually located on each table in the MarketPlace Buffet are one of the best ideas which ALWAYS resulted in expedient bar waiter service. The ship's technology for passengers is far superior to other cruise ships (Drink orders, Do-Not Disturb & Make-up Room buttons, TV Account Reviews, Personal Itineraries, Entertainment & Shore Excursion Reservations, etc.). Excellent crowd management of large number of passengers (I never felt crowded or had to wait in lines or struggle to find a deck chair or a breakfast/lunch table at the two buffet locations). BEST SHIP PHOTOGRAPHER SERVICE experience and HIGHEST QUALITY photos of my previous 76 cruises.
