My first international cruise and I chose the msc seaside for the 7 days carribean cruise departing from Miami, first time in USA. Previously I cruised on the msc symphony, opera thrice from my country. The msc seaside was value for money, visited 4 islands from 26 Jan to 2 Feb. Warm welcome and professional staff-, awesome entry to the entertainment screen with DJ playing music. My cabin was big enough for 2 person. The good food, fantastic entertainment especially the dance team and Latin musicians , waterslides etc really kept all on the go. The embarkation at the ports of call was smooth and professional, had water and refresher towels on return. The ship especially the kitchen is scrubbed down every night and great emphasis is placed on food hygiene to ensure safety of passengers. I chose to book my own shore excursions prior to leaving home. We are a couple, but I together with the kids on board enjoyed the waterslides, my first zip line, etc. Definitely going back on the MSC
