Sail Date: Mar 2018

Seaside is a beautiful new ship, but was difficult to navigate. To get around on some decks, you must go through narrow overcrowded areas, or go up a set of stairs. In other words, you can’t get there from here! Much of the ship, including the entire bow, is open only to the elite guests. No adult only area.

Entertainment was the best I’ve seen onboard anywhere.

Dinner service was horrible with an average of 2 hours in the dining room and a lack of attention by waiters. Appetizers were always tasty, but entrees fell off in quality as the week progressed. Deserts were so-so. Buffet was always good, great pizza, reasonable drink prices.

Cabin Review

Cabin Balcony

Obstructed view with an oversized balcony right next door that looked right into our room, a hose reel to our left, and an outdoor restaurant one floor below. We had to keep our drapes closed all the time, which negated the benefit of a balcony. We could only see straight ahead. Limited storage. Full size couch.
