We decided to go on a cruise to get away from our very stressful careers, needed to recharge and celebrate our wedding anniversary, as well as our friends birthdays and thanksgiving all in one.
Upon arrival, embarkation, it was simple and easy. once we were assigned the cabin number, we found the room and waited for our luggage. The ship was a pretty ship, very modern(ish) but very modern european- what I mean by that, if you are from miami/coral gables try thinking about a cafe abbracci. But I will give credit where credit is deserved. The MSC Seaside aesthetically was impressive (whether or not it was my taste or not), however with such a huge ship, they really were lacking with their entertainment The shows offered on this 7 day cruise were absolutely amateur with the exception of the Michael performance which was phenomenal. The parties were a joke! The Arcade, bowling, and virtual reality were ridiculous when compared to the MSC seaside video you see on youtube. You have to pay $15 for a 5 minute virtual reality video game, $45 dollars for an hour of bowling etc.
other than that, the ship lacked entertainment in general.
I don't know what type of cabin I had. A bed, and a sofa with a balcony. It was dirty. Had grease marks all over the walls (luckily i took clorox wipes and cleaned it). The pillows smell like accumulated head sweat Terrible musty smell.
