I just went on spring break with family and friends our group is over 30 people, everyone very enjoy the show in the theater the Frank tribute music and my life in music just o.k, not that best some are boring but the rest of other night show are the top best show at sea and I been many ship with different cruise line, I only enjoy show on msc seaside and msc Divina's show they are the best show out of sea, the director in theater he is very fun make people laugh, but the guy who host all game show like love game and the quest and some pool game and v..he is not fun at all msc should replace him with some one have more talent, msc seaside and divina both ship have the best them party with cruise staff, it is very fun they work hard for you to have fun, the guy wear two color sock he very have passion for dance I saw him on divina and seaside also they have straight and a aerobic dance for on fool deck 16 at 9:00 am so I eat a lot and still loose weight , and dance lesson on fool deck two or three times a day. The white party is supper fun and all the dance party with cruise staff they are very fun don't miss if you love dance, msc sea side have best water park and lot of big hot tub every where on the deck 16 and on the deck 8. The buffet on the deck 8 is big like same side with NCL big ship but is nicer you can dine in or outside on the big hug deck with lot of table plus seaside have one more buffet on the deck 16 but on the deck 16 buffet is a smaller compare on deck 8 you can dine in or outside too so is a plus, the pizza and the bread are the best at sea and desert very good, the cheese cake in the dinning room you have to try they are the best cheese cake I ever have, they only have on the first night so don't miss. For lunch and dinner food in buffet is average compare to other ship, but dinner in the dinning room food are very outstanding compare to my 16th cruise with 6 different cruise line. The waiter he is so friendly and helpful, our big group are very happy to have him, is kind of fun one of the waitress she sing on the last night is very fun and everyone love her sing, I love the thermal spa on seaside is very interesting with many different shower mist it is very nice I love it very much, msc sea side is very beautiful ship have no bad smell at all when you walk through attriump is always have good fresh sense smell not like in the review, here is some thing on msc that that I don't like they don't have running track around on the deck, you can run but but can not run around the only place you can run around is at the water park but some place is very tight, the garage club which is disco club is so little and is not look nice, divina have the best disco club, no mini golf and the sport deck is not as big as ncl. Msc seaside have different kind of music all over the ship so it is nice and lot of activities to do so I never feel boring at all, at night lot of thing happen at the same time so I only can choose one but I wish I can enjoy all. For the value of money is very good, compare to any of other cruise line the price is more some time 2 to 3 times and the value is not that all good for the money you paid ,for me I enjoy msc more than any other cruise line, Carnival is my bottom one, NCL have good rope course and mini golf and big sport deck and more choice in the buffet and the oshear restaurant is a plus and they only have 4 show for 7 days and the show they have is so boring I walk out every night and the music only in the 70 or 80 unless you like that kind of music, no cover pool and only 4 little hot tub for public use and thermal spa very high price, compare to msc less than half and msc is nicer and more fun than ncl , for many people complain on little thing like ice cream machine not available all the time when they want they only have certain time of the day so look for time and schedule they have you have to think just of ice cream and a little thing but you have to pay $1000 or $2000 more from other cruise line and people complain elevator is not many wow I count and msc have more elevators than all the big ship NCL have, each side of elvator on msc they have two set on the back of each other, people just like to complain I think just because msc is an Italian cruise, not american cruise. one time I went on royal grandual of the sea it is a small ship the food are the worse dining and buffet food are horrible we went for 7 nights and none of the meal we enjoy and food in the buffet cook horrible when the food is cold like the fry chicken vv.. they full hot water over food to make it warm I saw it with my own eyes and lopster tail cook smell badly stink we love lopster but can not eat and steak cook horible no good, bacon and friend fry and fry chicken always and soft never crispy that is the only ship in my 16 ship food are horrible and the public toilet very old if you put deposit in toilet is not flush and lot of toilet like that and some you need to use the brush to have it flush it is every disgusting, me and friends use many different one say the same thing,so I need to do number 2, I have to go to my cabin to do, but the ratting is above average because it is american cruise it is not Italian cruise but if rate that ship food is would be 0 and entertaiment is 5-6. So give msc a thump up don't let bad review in your mine just go and have fun if you have kid under 12 they will love msc seaside water park it is best water park for kid at sea .
