MSC Seaside Review

I just finished a 7 night cruise with my family onboard the MSC Seaside, and I’m going to tell you exactly why it is the best cruise I’ve been on so far, while still having plenty of ways it could be better next time we cruise with MSC on the Seaside.

One of the most important factors of cruising, especially when cruising with lots of family or guests, is the cost. This is one of the things MSC does better than almost anyone. One of my past-times in the evening is scrolling through cruise websites, looking for the cheapest cruises I can find. And truthfully, Carnival has some of the cheapest sticker prices I’ve found, but time and time again, MSC winds up being cheaper per person, per night. That’s because on all MSC cruises, KIDS SAIL FREE as 3rd and 4th passengers in a cabin. And with a family of 7, four of whom are my kids, that saves a lot of money. In fact, I had never heard of MSC as a cruise line until a couple years ago when my son was born, because they have NO MINIMUM SAILING AGE! That’s right, most cruise lines require babies to be 6 months old, But on MSC ships, they understand that everyone, including infants and their new mothers, need a nice relaxing vacation. So this 7 night cruise was perfect for us and our 4 kids, the youngest being our 2 month old Daughter, who was the youngest passenger on board by a couple of weeks. Read more
