Picked this cruise from Bari as we wanted to come back to Bari and spend time in the Puglia area..
Cruise was great although more time could have been spent in ports .
Restaurant waiters and service was great and food too.
Our housekeeper Mundir was very helpful and always there if Needed. Room was always cleaned to perfection.
Entertainment staff were the best I have come across on ...
My wife and I do a couple cruises per year but this was the first for MSC. We took the Seaside August 31, 2019. I was a little hesitant after reading some of the negative comments in other reviews but our experience was great. Would definitely do it again. We usually sail the larger ships of NCL, Royal Caribbean, etc and this ship seemed to be a perfect size. The Seaside is the most elegant ship ...
We chose this cruise as the ship was new and looked beautiful...and MSC is one of a few cruise lines we haven't experienced.
The ship was beautiful, especially the galleria area, but:
- the beauty of the ship could have been enhanced with art work
- the cruise experience could have been enhanced with more activities on offer
- the library was a couple of shelves with a hand full of ...
The ship was beautiful but the food was just ok. You cruise for the food & for an Italian line the food was very disappointing. I was also amazed how small the pools were, you couldn’t even get in due to overcrowding. This is my first & last time with MSC.
The crew were not very friendly and definitely not over accommodating. Even our cabin guy was not personable.
I had premium package & ...
MSC Seaview 31st August - 7th September 2019, return trip from Barcelona with stops at Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia, Rome, Ajaccio and Palma
This was our 23rd cruise, having cruised, as a couple and as a family, with most of the mainstream cruise lines. Our trip with Seaview was our 3rd MSC cruise experience having sailed both Magnifica and Splendida previously.
As before, the decision to choose ...
I am currently on this cruise with my husband, taking a break from the heat in Corsica. I wanted to write a review because I'd seen negative reviews online and I am just baffled as to how people would have any negative comments about this ship.. it is absolutely stunning to look at, the most beautiful design in all bars and public spaces, plenty of seating areas everywhere, it's spotlessly clean ...
This was our first MSC cruise (Seaside). We have cruised all the major cruise lines and gravitate right now to NCL. During the Meet and Mingle for Cruise Critic, the Captain said that they are listening to Cruise Critic and implementing changes as they go. MSC is still not accustomed to the American Market. The cruise overall was good.....some parts very good.....some parts not so much. No ...
Pros:
Crew members - always friendly and helpful. Our room steward, Christian, went beyond normal. Some crew members gave us free drinks or moved us to the front of the line without us requesting the favors.
Cleanliness of ship (with the exception of plates in the hallway for over a day)
Cabin
Entertainment (except as noted below)
We met some very nice people (expecially at the ...
The worst service we have ever received on more than 50 holidays. Bad food, bad service with no eye contact or a care for the customer and you pay for everything - literally nothing is added for the enjoyment of the customer. We were an inconvenience to the staff. The waiters could not be bothered to offer a service. We queued for half an hour- glad we didn’t get the drinks package-we would still ...
This is our 10 th cruise and first MSC we chose because of Split, Santorini and Venice and pricing. we had low expectations based on online reviews and we were impressed so much we will take another MSC in Carrebian in Decemeber 2019. Francisco, the restaurant Manager, Herman Fernandis, the Chef and all Waiters in restaurant provided excellent service to our group of 20. Chef cooked a special ...
