After so much research went into finding the right cruise, this first-timer chose the MSC Seaside Caribbean trip. As time went by I became a bit worried by some of the early reviews. Chaotic, under-staffed, poor food and entertainment. Well, I was most happily surprised to find the truth to be the exact opposite! The Ship was gorgeous, and staffed with the most wonderful and helpful crew. The Food was really good. In the main dining room it was cloth and crystal every day and night. We enjoyed exquisite choices from around the world, and a fantastic wine list too. Our balcony room gave us wonderful vistas of sunsets, seas, and ports, and comfortable too. The entertainers were fantastic. We saw a different show every night. This current troup is truly talented. Our cabin boy was on it every day, our room always ready for us. Everyone was friendly and there was always something fun to do. I highly recommend this cruise(Jamaica, Cayman, Mexico, Bahamas).
