After doing a ton of research and reading a lot of reviews, we booked a 7 day Caribbean cruise with 4 ports. The price was great compared to other lines for the amount of time.
After reading the reviews on here I was somewhat skeptical about the trip. The reviews for MSC Seaside do not do the ship justice. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to cruise with MSC again. We do have to say we are a very easy going mid 20s couple so if you have been on hundreds of cruises you might view things differently. This was also our first cruise which may have affected things as well.
Room: We booked a Bella room but got upgraded to a Fantastica balcony room with was spacious with a couch. We did struggle with storage for clothes but it was to be expected. Our room attendant was prompt and had ice for me every day after asking for it once. We enjoyed being able to book shows and see our itinerary on the smart tv everyday. Overall we loved our balcony room and slept wonderfully every night.
Spacious room with couch and balcony. Shower and bathroom was very tight and sometimes hard to move around in. Could use more storage for clothes and have more control of AC (it was somewhat warm every night)
It was our least favorite port due to the constant hagglers to buy things or go on the beach.
Spent the day before the cruise at Bayside Marketplace watching the boats and drinking fruity drinks. Great relaxing pre-cruise day/evening.
