SO- SO Seashore is NO- NO

Overall takeaway: I wouldn't recommend the Seashore to anyone at this time as MSC SEASHORE operates with BAIT AND SWITCH and HARD SELLING tactics. Both which impacted my enjoyment of the cruise. MSC puts too much friction between the guest and making simple choices such as food, drinks, entertainment, internet usage and simply relaxing in lounge chair too difficult to be enjoyed. Also, the SEASHORE generally lacked a FUN atmosphere by the staff or activities because everything by MSC on SEASHORE was geared to drive up sales, or drive down costs or keep guests on a short lease. The overall cruise experience was generic in atmosphere, nothing was a WOW, nothing seemed excessive or indulgent in nature. It was the most disappointing cruise I have been on in recent memory.

I have been on over 20 cruises over multiple lines but I am not obligated to any cruise line and mostly determine my cruise by itinerary, cruise ports, price. Also mid fifties and never have traveled in any private "haven" or "yacht club" etc cabin areas. So I think I know basic expectations on what a cruise should provide and entail. Read more
