Okay for the price
"There were numerous dance classes but this meant we could not use any dance floor until 11pm.Unless you paid for Yacht club, you could not use the only lounge at the bow...."Read More

Beyond Amazing Experience

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on MSC Seaside

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

I had a wonderful experience on the MSC Seaside. From embarkation to disembarkation, it was an unforgettable trip. This was my experience with MSC Cruises and my first travelling solo, so I choose a 3 nights to give it a try. I was very impressed with the ship. The Atrium experience is unique. I felt immediately on a safe and happy place. The room was ready by 2pm. I entered the ship around1:00pm, ...

Horrible experience

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

6-10 Cruises • Age 30s

The service was regular. Since they won, we didn’t have no towels or paper toilet in the restrooms. I have to asked for towels and paper toilet three times I think they forgot about us. Bar tenders were upset and yelling at people because they ask for a drinks. They can not handle pressure like that. Food was greasy, desserts were horrible, the person that served us in the restaurant yell at my 7 ...

Wife and I sailed on the Seaside on May 21st 2023. We were upgraded to an Aurea Grand suite via the bidding program. Had an enjoyable time but was far from perfect. Pros: 1) Beautiful newer ship. Plenty of pools and lounge chairs. Bars are numerous and well stocked. 2) cabin service was fantastic. No towel animals but room was always clean. 3) Aurea thermal area was gorgeous 4) ...

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Price was good. Our cabin girl was good. Easy disembarkment clearly marked. Ocean cay was fabulous. Long way to walk. Elevators were packed. Needs ice machine on all decks as it took along time to get ice. MDR was great as well as the Buffett. They need an informational video explaining how to turn lights on..other ships have free ice cream and ours was 9.00 a cone. Passengers should be ...

Very Good Budget friendly cruise

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

2-5 Cruises • Age 20s

On board the MSC Seaside me and my fiancé were really mixed getting onto the ship. We’ve done our research and seeing the reviews we had our reservations before booking. We decided to go and give it a try. MSC kept it within our budget with a beautiful balcony room at a low cost. Coming onto the ship embarkation was a breeze no hassle no lines no fuss. The room was spectacular with lots of space ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

My wife and I just returned from a four day cruise on the MSC Seaside. Getting on and off the ship was very simple, 30 minutes both going and coming. The ship is magnificent, so beautiful. The staff was very professional and very helpful. The food in the Buffet and MDR was very good, with a great selection. The Pizza was outstanding. We loved the outdoor seating at the Buffet, so beautiful ...

More cons than pros

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on MSC Seaside

LP-M
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

My family suggested this cruise for a family trip of 6, including a 17 month old. Ocean Cay was beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing on our rafts we brought with us. The lagoon was perfect for the little one with nice calm waters and a lifeguard. The lines for a buffet were a little long, but there were several food choices, and we easily found a clean table. The water and iced tea are very ...

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We just cruised from Port Canaveral Florida to Mexico 7day cruise from May 14th to May 21st 2023. Unfortunately a few weeks prior MSC Seaside scored horrible scores with the health inspection of a score of 67. We were very concerned however were within 2 weeks of the health inspection to our sailing date. We were skeptical due to some of the low reviews by prior fellow cruisers. We had sailed over ...

MSC… Not for Me

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on MSC Seaside

Generic2133
6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

The Un-Fun Ship! This was our 6th cruise but our 1st time on MSC. I can say it was seriously lacking in customer service & hospitality compared to Royal Caribbean and even to Carnival. We felt like we were inconveniencing the crew by just being on the boat. All we heard were a lot of NO’s the whole weekend! MSC is an extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly cruise line! Customer satisfaction and ...
