We loved the msc seaside! We had a fantastica balcony and enjoyed the size and location of it. The food was good and we never went hungry. Trivia was lots of fun. We don’t drink and didn’t have a drink package. It was exactly the kind of vacation we planned on having. Embarkation was legit the best we’ve ever had. We thought our Disney cruise was decent for embarkation, but now compared to msc Disney needs to step it up. The entertainment was good. We loved most of the shows. We weren’t huge into the musicals but the acrobatics was jaw dropping amazing. We would easily go back on the seaside again. The ship was gorgeous and never once felt crowded. Even the port we had to tender in it wasn’t crowded. Our kids loved the kids clubs and miss them so much. Wish we woulda booked a 14 day cruise.
