MSC Seaside is the first ship in MSC Cruises’ fleet to be christened in the United States, sailing in the Caribbean year-round from Miami. As the first addition to MSC Cruises’ new Seaside Class of ships, MSC Seaside carries 4,140 passengers and will boast revolutionary architecture and cutting-edge technology. With connecting inside and outside public areas, this ultra-modern cruise ship is designed for warm weather and puts you closer to the ocean than ever before. In addition, MSC Seaside will offer one of the largest and most interactive aqua parks at sea, featuring new slide boarding technology, which combines a slide and an interactive game!
MSC Seaside receives mixed reviews from guests. Many praise the ship's beautiful design, excellent entertainment, and some standout service staff. However, frequent complaints include small cabins and bathrooms, inconsistent food quality, crowded public areas, and issues with customer service. Excursions and port times also receive criticism, and some guests feel the value is diminished by extra charges for services. Overall, the ship offers a visually impressive experience with strong entertainment, but falls short in several key areas compared to other cruise lines.
Service on MSC Seaside is highly variable. Some guests found the crew and specific staff members to be excellent and attentive, while others experienced poor customer service, long wait times, and unhelpful staff.
