MSC Seaview Review

Additional details
We embarked in Barcelona for the ships first visit round the med after its transatlantic sailing from Brazil. We arrived into Barcelona the day before so had plenty of time to explore and relax before boarding.
MSC had allocated us a 1430-1600 check in time, so we caught the port shuttle to the ship around 1400 and were greeted by 2 of the longest lines.
1st line was for bag drop off, so we were in line around 1415 and we dropped our bag off at around 1510, we were then handed a boarding card and had to join another line to go through security to get into the terminal, once in the terminal luckily our boarding group had already been called, but we saw people hanging around with groups about 10 up from us so that would have been at least another hour. Checked in at 1615 we headed up to the ship for another hour wait to board, eventually on board at around 1730 we dumped our hand baggage and was pleased to see our cases waiting for us outside our cabin.
Cabin Review
Fantastica Balcony Stateroom
Excellent location on the ship, very little noise from the surrounding cabins. Cabin is large enough for 2 adults
Port Reviews
Corsica (Ajaccio)
Excellent value for money, ticket office is around 5 min walk from the port. euro for 1 hour on the open top bus taking you through the city and round the beaches
La Spezia (Cinque Terre)
We purchased the Cinque Terre on your own from the excursions desk on board, cost €50 each and was a boat that took you from the port around the towns. The 3 stops were Vernazza, Monterosso, and Porto Venere. Where you had free time in each to wonder around.
