Description

A new revolutionary prototype created for MSC Cruises, the MSC Seaside stands out for its external look that is totally new in the cruise ship field. The smokestack is moved to the center of the ship, leaving the entire back of the ship for water activities.
As well, the vertical stern is topped by a splendid glass panoramic walkway and has two panoramic elevators. Thanks to the ample open air walkway on the deck of the public areas it is one of the best ships for really living the sea experience.

MSC Seaside 2018

I liked

Great to get away and have heat when its winter in Ireland.

I didn't like

food wasn't amazing

Comment

I cruised on the seaside 3 weeks after its inaugural cruise at the end of December 2017, there was still a lot to be worked on while on board, the food wasn't as good as it could have been but it was still a great trip, amazing to see the Caribbean for the first time, got to swim with dolphins in Jamaica, got to snorkel in the clear waters in Nassau, overall a great trip

Schönes Schiff, Service nur ok

I liked

neues Schiff, saubere Kabine,

I didn't like

viel trubel im Buffet Restaurant, lange Wartezeiten an der Rezeption, Shows waren sehr abstrakt und eher langweilig

Comment

Wir waren im September 2021 eine Woche mit der MSC Seaside im westlichen Mittelmeer unterwegs. Das Schiff war noch relativ neu und in einem sehr guten Zustand. Die Balkonkabine war groß und geräumig. Einschiffung in Genua hat schnell und effizient funktioniert trotz COVID Antigen Tests. Die Mitarbeiter waren nach der Einschiffung etwas aufdringlich um Getränkepakete oder Pakete für die Spezialitätenrestaurants zu verkaufen. Das Essen sowohl in den Hauptrestaurants als auch in den Buffetrestaurants war sehr gut. Die Mitarbeiter auch meist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, insbesondere im Restaurant. Was mir jedoch aufgefallen ist, ist das trotz geringer Auslastung die Wartezeiten an Rezeption und Bars sehr hoch war. Das kann jedoch auch Corona Situation geschuldet oder einem Crew Wechsel geschuldet sein. Gut gefallen haben mir auch die große Anzahl an Außenbereiche. Grundsätzlich kann ich das Schiff jedoch weiterempfehlen.

Esperienza Perfetta

I liked

TUTTO. Personale, pulizia, attività, nave, giro, cabina ecc.

I didn't like

Era nel pieno del periodo covid quindi i contro sono state le escursioni che non erano libere e l’utilizzo di mascherine

Comment

È stata la vacanza più bella che io abbia mai fatto, da lì mi sono appassionata sempre di più al mondo delle crociere! La nave era nuovissima e a bordo era tutto perfetto

Caraibi in Mac Seaside

I liked

nave bella, pulita e spaziosa

I didn't like

il cibo non mi è piaciuto molto rispetto alle altre crociere. idem per le escursioni organizzate da loro

Comment

i posti visitati e la nave sono stati bellissimi, ma le escursioni sono una vera pecca. non si attengono mai al programma e infatti ad un porto di scalo non ci siamo proprio fermati.

Settimana perfetta

I liked

Nave spettacolare, perfetta per le giornate estive e per vivere il mare a 360 gradi

I didn't like

Comment

Conoscevo già la tipologia di nave, ma è stata una sorpresa trovare la piscina a poppa, interamente dedicata solo agli adulti, poter prendere il sole e rilassarsi in piscina, con in sottofondo piacevole musica, senza schiamazzi è stato un plus molto piacevole. Nota di menzione al Comandante Massa, che ha saputo coccolare i suoi croceristi con dediche sonore ad ogni porto e ai ragazzi dell’animazione…straordinari!

I liked

Bellezza e cura della nave Ristoranti e bar Equipaggio

Comment

Una nave meravigliosa che offre viste spettacolari. Zone esterne ben strutturate. Questa nave si presta perfettamente al clima estivo e alla navigazione nelle zone calde. Ristorazione di ottima qualità. Equipaggio professionale e altamente qualificato. Spettacoli teatrali coinvolgenti ed emozionanti.

MSC Seaside la mia dodicesima avventura in crociera

I liked

Spazi interni ed esterni Serate all'aperto Staff d'animazione

I didn't like

Non poter scendere in autonomia "non dipeso dalla compagnia ma dalle norme sanitarie covid"

Comment

La mia prima crociera in era covid, la nota negativa di maggiore rilievo rispetto alle precedenti crociere è quella di non poter scendere in autonomia nei vari porti, nel complesso mi sono divertito e rilassato allo stesso tempo, quindi anche se una gradino sotto le precedenti il mio voto è assolutamente positivo.

Bella esperienza, ma non la miglior nave della flotta

I liked

Spazi esterni molto belli e particolari, staff gentile, pulizia estrema, belle escursioni

I didn't like

Cibo di qualità inferiore rispetto agli standard msc, spazi interni un po’ dispersivi

Comment

Bella nave esternamente, ma strutturalmente ho preferito classe fantasia e classe meraviglia plus. È difficile orientarsi, gli spazi interni sono un po’ confusionari e il cibo non era il massimo. Le attività però erano ben organizzate ed erano sempre rispettate tutte le misure di sicurezza. La spa non vale il suo prezzo in tempi covid dal momento che è praticamente tutto inaccessibile.

Finalmente Msc Seaside

I liked

Nave e itinerario

I didn't like

Comment

Dopo alcuni anni ho finalmente visto la Msc Seaside, tornata nel Mediterraneo. La struttura nave è sicuramente innovativa e ci sono molte aree veramente scenografiche e confortevoli. Forse piccola la zona piscina di poppa quando la nave è pieno regime, ma le parti solarium sono davvero molte. La ristorazione è varia e si presta sempre molta attenzione ai piatti e alle esigenze del cliente. Ottimi tutti i ristoranti di specialità, in particolare l'Ocean Cay. Intrattenimento sempre presente con tante iniziative e un coinvolgimento discreto. Tanti locali, zone shopping, ottima spa e palestra. Una bella nave, tenuta bene e con un servizio molto buono anche in questa fase di ripartenza. Bellissimi anche gli spettacoli teatrali. Disorganizzazione nell'imbarco a Siracusa, ma forse per responsabilità dell'organizzazione locale.

Seaside YC

I liked

Spazi e aree dedicate allo YC

I didn't like

Servizi non all'altezza dello standard YC

Comment

Seconda esperienza YC e decisamente sottotono rispetto a quello che abbiamo trovato su Grandiosa, La nave ci è piaciuta moltissimo e le aspettative erano alte, ma la realtà è stata di aver trovato tutto un po approssimativo...tanto personale con la massima disponibilità ma scollegati fra loro come se mancasse una guida e per quanto riguarda lo YC il responsabile Rober Balla non pervenuto... uguale per la cucina, sotto lo standard abituale, poi siamo stati bene, non ci lamentiamo, la nave era ripartita da poco e forse si dovevano ancora organizzare, spero e ne sono sicuro che adesso le cose siano migliorate.

2 settimane ottime

I liked

Animazione, più spazi perché meno gente a bordo,

I didn't like

Pochi spettacoli completi piuttosto che one man show

Comment

Abbiamo passato 2 settimane nel segno del relax... certo 2 crociere che non si possono paragonare a quelle precovid... molte cose non si potevano fare, ma vuoi mettere che in crociera si è parecchio sicuri, non hai coprifuoco, puoi andare a teatro, puoi chiacchierare con gli amici davanti un cocktail?

Comment

Nave leggermente datata e in alcune zone maleodorante, ma niente di eccessivo o insopportabile.Cabine anguste e "pericolanti", appena entrati, alla prima doccia, si è rotto il phon. L'itinerario non è malvagio, i luoghi da visitare sono belli, anche se tra MSC e gli abitanti del luogo sembrano faccino a gara a chi cerca di spillarti più soldi.

Comment

Una nave da sogno, strutturata in maniera eccellente. Tantissime attività diverse e fantastiche, addirittura si può fare il "lancio" da una parte all'altra della nave. In generale le attività sono davvero tante : pin pong, basket, cinema, bowling, ecc. Non c'è assolutamente pericolo di annoiarsi! Per non parlare dell'intrattenimento, molto, troppo carino. Lo staff è davvero preparato e ben organizzato. l'unica pecca è che dopo una settimana da favola, tornare alla "vita normale", non è semplicissimo!

Sporcizia ovunque

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Tappeti polverosi, lenzuola macchiate e rimasugli di sporco sui sanitari, uno schifo! Fortunatamente avevo portato gli igenizzanti da casa, infatti oltre alla scarsa pulizia non è previsto agli ospiti del materiale supplementare per poter pulire la cabina. Teoricamente uno si dovrebbe accontentare della pulizia dello staff .. senza parole! La nave nel complesso è abbastanza pulita ma al ristorante ci siamo trovati nuovamente in una situazione analoga a quella della cabina : bicchieri macchiati di calcare, posate non lucidate, tovaglie macchiate, ecc. Troppe disattenzioni per il prezzo pagato!

Esperienza suggestiva e valida, se non fosse per l'inconveniente dell'ultimo giorno. Mio figlio, nonostante si sia fato male giocando in piscina (quindi a bordo della MSC con la quale avevamo stipulato una polizza assicurativa) abbiamo dovuto pagare non poco per una semplice disinfestazione del ginocchio, inaccettabile! Tralasciando ciò, ci tengo a far presente che lo staff è sempre stato gentile, la struttura pulita e il cibo di discreta qualità.

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Staff gentile e cibo buono ma la nave nel complesso non mi è piaciuta affatto, sono stato su navi migliori e la differenza è sostanziale. E'una nave che ha tutto ciò che una nave da crociera deve avere ma tende a cadere un po sul banale. Non c'è nessuna struttura particolare, nessuna attività che ti lascia di stucco, nessuna tipologia diversa dal solito. Tutto quello che si trova a bordo sono cose viste s riviste, molto monotona come nave.

Viaggio di nozze fantastico

I liked

Nave pazzesca, luoghi stupendi, ho apprezzato la doccia senza tenda ma finalmente con la porta a vetri.

I didn't like

in alcune tappe poche ore di permanenza. l'armadio della cabina piccolo

Comment

Era la nostra sesta crociera con MSC e devo dire che nonostante fossimo stati su navi come la MSC FANTASIA e SPLENDIDA già grandi e bellissime,la MSC SEASIDE ci ha lasciati senza fiato.Cabina al ponte 14 con balcone, a prua.Qui il mare si sentiva un po' di più a volte,ma nulla di che, cabina silenziosissima, unica pecca l'armadio un po' piccolo avendo avuto bagagli per 15 giorni. Noi abbiamo preso pacchetto Volo+hotel a Miami+crociera e ci siamo trovati benissimo, aereo nuovissimo dell' American Airlines con televisiori singoli per ogni passeggero.Diretto da Malpensa.Nave molto stile "americano" che, nonostante diversa dalle altre è apparsa subito elegante gigantesca e fenomenale. Grandi gli spazi all'aperto,trovavi sempre posto e molto più larga delle sorelle MSC, ottimi i tavoli per pranzare e fare colazione all'esterno a picco sul mare.Piscine e aree relax bellissime. Buffet vario e buono distribuito su 2 ponti (8 e 16) quindi molto grande e mai pieno. Ristoranti molto belli e ampi.

Cattivo odore un po in tutta la nave, addirittura nemmeno la biancheria non aveva un buon odore. Cibo banale e ripetitivo, personale scorbutico e scostante. Per non parlare della cabina, una suite pagata profumatamente che si è rivelata tutt'altro rispetto a quanto ci era stato promesso

Esperienza molto bella, visitare i Caraibi così e fantastico! SI raggiungono posti sperduti e paradisiaci, con un mare che è un vero e proprio specchio! Nonostante sei lontanissimo da casa non ti senti affatto spaesato perché comunque sei a brodo di una compagnia italiana, addirittura sulla nave è presente Venchi! La nave è enorme, pulita, e lussuosa! Le cabine interne sono ovviamente senza finestra e piccole ma tutto nella norma. Lo staff è gentilissimo e la pulizia mattutina della cabina è impeccabile! Per non parlare del cibo .. fantastico!

La bellezza di questa nave fa venire i brividi, è esattamente come si vede dalle foto, con l'eccezione che dal vivo è ancora meglio! Ovviamente il prezzo è elevato, e comprare i vari pacchetti conviene, come ad esempio il pacchetto "bevande". Le escursioni invece secondo me sono troppo care a bordo nave. In generale molti dei servizi offerti dalla nave sono a pagamento, ciò non toglie che sono comunque soldi ben spesi..

Ho un figlio disabile e devo dire che con questa compagnia non ho avuto problemi di nessun tipo, ma davvero nessun tipo. Ci siamo sentiti molto tutelati e seguiti, lo staff si è dimostrato super premuroso nei nostri confronti. Inoltre la nave di per sé è dotata di parecchi comfort, il tutto agevolato dal fatto che sono presenti numerosi ascensori che hanno agevolato parecchio i vari spostamenti.

Buona l'accoglienza, bella la camera con il balcone, animazione troppo caotica e confusionaria, gente stipata e incitata al "divertimento collettivo", scene ogni sera a dir poco ridicole e imbarazzanti. Fortunatamente gli spettacoli teatrali hanno compensato la situazione e ci hanno fatto passare delle serate davvero ottime e più "tranquille".. Altra nota negativa è l'assicurazione medica, che nella teoria uno crede che compra tutto, mentre nella pratica non copre assolutamente niente. Che bassezza speculare sulle prestazioni mediche a bordo di una nave in cui la prestazione medica è del tutto monopolizzata.

Bellissima crociera su Msc Seaside

I liked

Nave innovativa, itinerario

I didn't like

Un pò di confusione al buffet a pranzo

Comment

Msc Seaside mi è piaciuta molto, finalmente una nave grande e moderna anche per Msc. Ci sono dei momenti di confuasione e di assembramento ma tutto sommato ci sono anche tanti angoli dove riservarsi privacy e tranquillità. Cabina con balcone ampia e pulita, comoda anche con due bambini. Cucina buona, non eccellente ma niente male. Non usiamo intrattenimento adulti, ma i bambini sono stati benissimo al club. Buona anche l'organizzazione dei trasferimenti da e per la nave. Piaciuta!

Ottima la cabina, pulita e confortevole. Anche il servizio in camera mi è piaciuto, relativamente costoso ma soddisfacente. Ristoranti nella norma, anche se con una carta dei vini abbastanza esigua. Nel complesso ottima esperienza ad un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Ottima esperienza ma con tanti, troppi, nei. A partire dal cibo fino ad arrivare alla pulizia. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene, i Caraibi sono un paradiso terrestre, ma la nave ha molte piccole carenze, che molto spesso passano anche inosservate, ma che comunque sussistono.

La crociera tutto sommato è stata una bell'esperienza ma .. A bordo erano presenti anche parenti (credo) del direttore, o qualcosa di simile. Abbiamo assistito quindi a trattamenti diversi tra gli ospiti e questo gruppetto di persone, non è stato un bel vedere, ci si sente trattati come "ospiti di serie B".

Esperienza che ripeterei altre dieci volte, la nave ha un design a dir poco fantastico! Il cibo è buonissimo, gli animatori sempre disponibili e gentili. In generale mi sono divertita tantissimo, ogni sera si ballava e il verbo "annoiarsi" non esiste. Inoltre il fatto che a cena si è disposti in un grosso tavolo con altre persone ti consente di fare facilmente nuove conoscenza e di farti vivere l'esperienza della crociera ancora meglio!

Comment

Una settimana all'insegna dello stress. Molte complicazioni hanno rovinato la nostra vacanza, a partire dalla polvere in camera fino ad arrivare alla gestione dei turni per la cena. Abbiamo avuto spesso l'esigenza di rivolgerci alla reception per la risoluzione delle problematiche, lo staff sempre molto gentile e cordiale, ciononostante le politiche a bordo prevedono al massimo qualche dolce in camera come segno di "scuse" e nient'altro più , nessuna minima tipologia di rimborso. Per quanto abbiamo pagato la crociera mi sembra un trattamento assurdo!

Trattamento troppo "dozzinale"

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Non so se siamo stati sfortunati noi o se fosse una situazione abituale della MSC Armonia, in una settimana infatti è capitato molto spesso di rimanere senza acqua calda, con doccia e lavandino intasati, e con alcune attività della nave fuori uso (es. sauna). Fatto presente dei disagi alla reception i problemi non sono stati risolti, ma c'è stato semplicemente offerto un vassoio di dolci in camera come segno di "scuse". Per il prezzo pagato mi è sembrato un trattamento un po troppo "dozzinale".

Most interesting thing was that I just paid for a ticket to “transport my body "from one seashore shore to another, but had no idea how much I would end up getting for free? There were many islands I just read about in books; many mountains that happened at the lakeside. I had always wished you could visit these places, but it still appeared so expensive, yet by just paying for that single ticket, here i enjoyed the beautiful sights and wondered that the sea hosts.

semplicemente essendo inaugurale tante cose non erano al top

Comment

nave fatta alla sua prima partenza e molte cose non erano al top come il ristorante serale dove aspettavamo i piatti anche 2 ore, entravamo alle 21 e uscivamo alle 23e30 circa... la nave avendola fatta a dicembre non abbiamo potuto usufruire dei tantissimi ambienti all'aperto che ai caraibi si sfrutterebbero tantissimo.. L a SPA è davvero bellissima

Wanted to try a big cruiseship, named to be beautiful, modern and revolutionary. Well, of course it's a beautiful vessel, particular design, nice places to spend the day outside. Food was not so good as I thought even if not bad. Many many people made some ambience crowded. An experience I'm happy to have done but probably Msc won't be my next first choice.

Nave bella ed elegante con servizio buono e tante attrazioni. Itinerario studiato bene con soste sempre abbastanza lunghe. Ottimo il buffet e la pizza, anche se sempre affollato. Meno buona la cucina dei ristoranti principali, semplice e molto scontata. Nel complesso una buona esperienza, la nave la consiglio.

Attratti da questo nuovo progetto Msc abbiamo voluto provarlo al caldo, nei meravigliosi Caraibi. Nave veramente bella, elegante, con grande offerta di intrattenimento, di locali, di ristoranti. Tutto molto buono anche nell'organizzazione, sinceramente non abbiamo avuto problemi. Nave da provare, un altro mondo rispetto alle più anziane della flotta.

Nave nuova, provata subito verso Miami! Esperienza positiva, alcuni piccoli disagi sono dovuti sicuramente al rodaggio di alcune funzionalità. Servizio molto buono e curato anche con grande mole di passeggeri. Vorrei sicuramente tornarci.

Incuriositi dalla nuova nave, siamo stati ai Caraibi con amici. Esperienza positiva, la nave è molto bella e non ci si annoia mai. La consiglio, soprattutto sui Caraibi, per me è molto adatta

Nave unica, completamente diversa dal comune. Servizio buono, ottima pulizia, ristorazione discreta. Nelle ore di punta si avverte la tanta gente a bordo, dal ristorante al buffet agli sbarchi nei porti. Esperienza comunque positiva e raccomandata.

Seaside Yacht Club Review

I liked

Entertainment, design of the ship, Yacht Club experience

I didn't like

Food, some aspects of the service, and poor storage in the cabins. The ship could feel crowded at times.

Comment

Food is a highly subjective topic. Ask 10 people about the same dish and be prepared for 10 different responses. For this reason I won’t spend too much time on it. Overall I found the food on Seaside to be adequate but nothing special. There were some standouts, like steak, pastas, deserts, and bread. I found all those to be fairly exceptional especially the steak we enjoyed in Butcher’s Cut one evening. The variety could sometimes be lacking and other more American-centric lines do offer more nightly choices on the menu. None the less no one will starve and you could always find something that interested you. Within the Yacht Club, we enjoyed our own restaurant that was open seating and available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Essentially you dine when you want (within the open hours) and with whom. Funny enough, we ended up dining at the same 2 to 3 tables the entire cruise, always in Arthur’s section who was one of the best and most entertaining waiters in all my years of cruising. Wow did we luck out getting him our first night onboard, although I’m sure the other Yacht Club waiters were exceptional as well. Other options within the Yacht Club were a small buffet adjacent to the Top Sail Lounge bar, and the Grill up on Deck 19 by the pool. I enjoyed the fresh grilled specialities at the Grill, yes even lobster and lamb chops, but oddly enough if I wanted a simple burger I had to dine in the more former indoor restaurant or go to the general buffet for the ship. My cravings for a burger did lure me more than once to the Marketplace Buffet, where I found them pretty good along with excellent fries. In the main buffet we never had a problem finding a seat and the option to sit outside was welcomed in great weather. Towards the back of the buffet they had dispensers for soda, beer, and wine. All automated. Just wave your card or wrist band over the control panel and it would activate. Because we were in the Yacht Club all our beverages were included, but were they not you would have been charged at that point. One feature MSC has deployed to gain market share in North America is a status match program. Before your cruise just submit your highest status at a cruise line or hotel chain, and MSC will match it. My Elite status on Princess was matched with Black on MSC, currently their highest level. This entitled us to a complimentary dinner in a speciality restaurant. We chose Butcher’s Cut being steak lovers, and we were not disappointed. It was an excellent dinner beginning to end. Another favorite option sometimes after dinner or even in the afternoon was Venchi the chocolate bar onboard. Many chocolate items (such as the chocolate ships) are made right onboard, and it’s fun to watch them getting made. There is even a wall of chocolate, although it was never working the entire cruise. My favorite was a chocolate/strawberry milkshake made with their excellent gelato. Just decadent especially with the fresh and real whipped cream on top. The best part, it was all included being part of the Yacht Club. Service generally goes hand and hand with any dining experience, so I’ll mention that overall I found the service to be excellent. This was especially true in the Yacht Club where everyone was beyond polite and helpful, and always seemed willing to do whatever it took to make you happy. Around the rest of the ship service was great as well, with a crew that smiled and generally seemed happy to assist you. Another nice feature of the Yacht Club was our own Concierge Desk. They basically handled any request, so there was never a need to wait in the line at the general Guest Services or Shore Excursion desks. Entertainment onboard was varied and excellent in my opinion. I looked forward to all the production shows and none disappointed. I can say that most others enjoyed the productions as well as every single one received a standing ovation. One evening was a shortened version of Madame Butterfly that I quite enjoyed. Very unusual to find an opera onboard a mass-market cruise ship, but MSC was proud to offer it and with good reason. In large part what made the shows so successful were the talented performers. Singers that could actually sing and dancers that could truly dance. I found these performers to be more Broadway calibre than typical cruise ship standard. The theater size is smaller but to make up for the smaller venue there are more performances offered, usually three a night at a time that will work for you. Some are repeated later in the cruise. I’ve found the new ships of NCL have gone with the smaller showrooms as well along with more performances. The shows are shorter, only 30-40 minutes which means they can offer more of them. I really enjoyed this format and found them all just long enough. Along with Disney, Royal Caribbean, and certain shows on NCL these ranked as my favorite shows at sea. Reservations are required through the MSC For Me app or interactive screens, and more on that later. Other entertainment ranged from the nightly violinist and pianist in the Yacht Club Top Sail Lounge to game shows, comedians, theme dance parties, and a nightly disco. Sometimes the disco was inside in the Garage Club, and other times outside at the South Beach pool bar. Keep this in mind if booking one of those aft view balconies. Movies were shown nightly at the large outdoor screen but with virtually no seating they were not well attended. A favorite venue onboard was the Seaside Lounge with the nightly smooth sounds of the Silk Jazz Trio. I really enjoyed their music. During the day I made good use of the spa daily, and found the thermal suite area one of the best of any ship I’ve sailed. Visually pleasing, there are two types of saunas, two types of steam rooms, a snow room, salt room, heated loungers, outdoor private deck with hot tubs, a thalassotherapy pool, and the Geyser Kneipp, an interesting water experience I’ve never seen before. Access to the Spa’s thermal suite was included as part of our Yacht Club amenities, and a simple swipe of my key card or wrist band granted me access. As a bit of a techie, I need to make mention of the technology onboard. I was impressed. I found Seaside probably the most technologically advanced ship I have ever sailed, and this includes the newest and largest Royal Caribbean ship the Harmony of the Seas which I would say comes in a close second. I pre-purchased a very reasonable Internet package called the Surfer Package (one of three available). Priced at $44.90 for the entire cruise, it offered a total of 800MB on two devices with access to everything but audio & video streaming. In reality I had 2500MB at my disposal and I’m not sure why I was given the higher amount? At the end of the cruise I didn’t use even half the allotted amount, and this with uploading lots of pictures and using the internet multiple times a day. Initial setup was extremely simple and the MSC system recognized I had already pre-purchased a package. After the initial log-on it remembered my device and I never had to log-on again, just push the “start” and “stop” buttons on the app to begin or end my external internet sessions. Keep in mind that an internet package is not required to access the general onboard services of the MSC For Me app, that is completely free. Speed was excellent (about as fast as Voom on Royal Caribbean) and I had no interruptions or dead zones, which has been common on other ships. Some little things, like waving your cruise card or wrist band instead of swiping them are nice touch. Some things I’ve never seen before on any ship, such as the camera phone in my cabin where I could FaceTime with fellow passengers. With Blue Tooth enabled on your smart phone, your exact location on the ship was always known. This will come in handy when eventually you will be able to order drinks from your phone (using the MSC For Me app) and have them delivered directly to you. Princess is already experimenting with this with their Ocean Medallion program which so far has had its share of teething pains and has been scaled back. Another first was the card slot in the cabin to activate electricity. The trick of using any frequent shopper card in the slot no longer works on Seaside. It now requires an RFID card such as the MSC cruise card to activate the electricity in the cabin. The frustrating thing about this is that you could not charge your electronic devices unless you were in the cabin. Still a great way to conserve electricity and fuel. Ground zero for all the onboard technology is the MSC For Me app. Easy to use and well laid out, you can do everything from booking shows and speciality restaurants, to looking at your shipboard account or even finding your current exact location onboard. You could also peruse the Daily Planner of activities or look at the dinner menu for that evening. Hand in hand with the app are the various interactive information screens around the ship, and the TV in your cabin. They essentially worked the same way, providing another option for those that don’t use smart phones or prefer not to carry one around. For those in the Yacht Club, you also receive a wrist band which serves the same purpose as the cabin key card, with the exception of getting on and off the ship. I used the wrist band quite often as it was convenient not to have to carry anything in my pockets. For those in the Yacht Club, the two forward elevators (one in each bank port and starboard) have priority control using your cruise card or wrist band. There were two problems with this. One is that you are never given a tutorial of how it actually works or even that it exists, and second is the way that it’s programmed. Basically when you waved your card or wrist band over the reader just below the call button it would grant priority access to the elevator, wiping out all floor selections of those already in the elevator and bringing it directly to your floor. Now if you stepped on without again waving your card over the reader inside the elevator, nothing would happen and it would appear the elevator had shut down. Everyone would get off and wait for another elevator, understandably frustrated. Eventually it would reset in a couple minutes. In fact you had to wave your card again inside the elevator and make a floor selection. Needless to say I used this feature rather sparingly as you might often be met with an elevator full of confused and pissed off people wondering why their floor was missed. Priority lift access aside, I would say the technology onboard worked quite flawlessly and effortlessly. I swiped my card all over the ship but was never wrongfully charged as the system knew everything was included in my Yacht Club package. If there is one word to sum up the decor on Seaside, it would be “Glitzy”. This is a flashy, modern, high tech floating resort with lots of mirrors, chrome, glass, dramatic lighting and unique furnishings. The furnishings were so unique in fact that I created a special photo album just to showcase them. Overall I loved the design and decor of the ship, but if you’re a traditionalist that prefers more understated decor this is not the ship for you. Thankfully I enjoy both and I’m equally comfortable on a ship such as Seaside as I am on Cunard. Personally I found the ship easy to get around but I had been studying the deck plan for months prior. Even so some of the flashy decor can be a little confusing when learning your way around, but fairly quickly I felt right at home. One great thing about the design is the amount of glass and views to the ocean. Seaside is definitely a ship that is open to the sea, and you can see the ocean from just about everywhere. Even the atrium has windows to the ocean on both sides, on every deck with lots of seating areas. It makes for a very impressive vantage point inside and out. Overall the general arrangement of lounges, bars, and restaurants is fairly straight forward with one exception. Up on Deck 16 the forward section is dedicated to the cluster of speciality restaurants situated around a central bar. It works very well and is accessed by the forward elevator banks. The more aft section of Deck 16 is the Miami Beach Pool and just forward the Biscayne Bay Buffet. This is accessed by the aft or more midships set of elevators. You can’t walk between the two sections, so essentially Deck 16 is cut off into two sections. Technically there are doors port and starboard that connect the Biscayne Bar Buffet to the speciality restaurants forward, and I used them, but they are for crew only. So generally it means going up or down a deck, then forward or back, then back up or down to access the area of Deck 16 you wish to reach. Having already studied the deck plan in advance I was prepared for this so not a big deal. Another great advantage of the Yacht Club was the beautiful forward facing, two level Top Sail Lounge and restaurant. The lounge and bar were on the first level, along with an outdoor deck overlooking the bow. The upper level was the restaurant connected to the lounge with a beautiful Swarovski crystal staircase. A massive two-level glass forward facing wall provided the exceptional views. Unfortunately for those not in the Yacht Club, there is no forward facing view that is accessible on the ship, unless you have a forward facing view cabin. This was an Eastern Caribbean cruise departing Miami on January 20, 2018 to St Thomas, Antigua, and Nassau. When we initially booked the ports were a little different, but with a couple hurricanes some itinerary adjustments were necessary. One port that would have really interested me is Ocean Cay, the private island that MSC is developing in the Bahamas. This port was initially on our itinerary when we first booked, but it became obvious fairly quickly it would never be ready in time. The development timetable has been adjusted a few times now, and I’m not actually sure when this new private island experience will be completed. I’m not even sure MSC is. We docked at each port and tenders were never required. As this cruise was all about the ship for me and I’ve been to these ports countless times, I really didn’t do much off the ship. Basically wondered around in each port but that was it. My priority was time spent on the ship, and I also love the atmosphere on the ship when the vast majority of passengers are ashore. It takes on a entirely different feel. Back in Miami our disembarkation was as effortless as embarkation, maybe even more so. Perhaps one of the best disembarkation experiences of any ship I’ve sailed. We were requested to vacate our cabins by 8am which we did. After a leisurely breakfast in the Yacht Club restaurant and enjoying the company of Arthur one last time, we were escorted down to the gangway by one of the Yacht Club butlers. There was no line at all to get off the ship. We quickly retrieved our bags in the Yacht Club section of the terminal (closest to the exit) and proceeded through CBP, which again had no line. With no forms required, we simply presented our passports and were waved though. Next thing you know we were in the car and driving home. Effortless and efficient. As with any cruise, MSC Seaside was not perfect. Cuisine could be upgraded and storage in the cabins could be better, but overall I would rate it a fantastic experience especially for what we paid. The Yacht Club inside cabins are a fantastic value, taking advantage of being pretty much all-inclusive while also receiving the special treatment and upgraded service & amenities. All this without breaking the bank. I’m certainly pleased with our decision, and I hope to someday return to Seaside, perhaps in a regular balcony cabin to compare how the experience differs. I think either way I would enjoy this special ship filled with energy and visual delight!
