MSC Seaside Tips

Be sure to download the MSC for me app before sailing. Once on board, you will be able to look at a variety of things on your phone from this app as well as make reservations for shows, massages, etc. I found that about 75 of the cruisers were of varying dialects -- be patient, be kind.

A very nice boat. This line caters to Europeans only!!!! Beware!!!

Bring aboard and card games for entertainment and to pass time. Other than the nightly theatre show, the ship sorely lacks engaging entertainment. Also has several negative interactions with guest services staff. I found them to be quite rude, sarcastic, and dismissive when concerns were brought to their attention; especially one customer service rep by the name of Marisa.

We have absolutely no complaints at all. My husband said this was the first cruise he's taken that he didn't feel rushed, or pressured to get things done in a certain time frame. He says he was actually relaxed and well rested after this cruise. I couldn't agree more. I would suggest that you bring converters for the outlets, they only have 2-120v, but the are so close together that you can only use one outlet at a time.

The kid tracker they advertise is not available, so don't rely on having it. Bring walkie-talkies to communicate on board.

Excellent family cruise.

dont do it !!!

Learn new show reservation action screens quickly and book shows soon after boarding

Get the drink package. Worth the money and a bargain.

Don't do it!

If you are not picky about food, can get by with a minimal amount of clothes for the week, don't mind walking a lot (the ship is huge) and you get a good price, then go! If you can't cope with those things then stay home. You will not be happy on this ship. I can deal with them so I would go again if I got a great price.

Check out beverage and internet packages BEFORE going on your trip.

Needs more signage for locations.

Stay away from deck 18 unless you like to hear cleaning and deck furniture being moved on deck 19.

Enjoy

The buffet is chaotic. It bis a beautiful ship. The fire drill is at 4PM.

Guard your valuables to keep crew member from stealing them.

Buy the wrist band it makes the on ship experience good.
