MSC Seaside Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This was a cruise of firsts for us, the trip was to celebrate our first anniversary, it was our first time cruising with MSC, our first time in Yacht Club, and our first time in the Royal suite. This cruise was beyond fabulous. The service in the yacht club is amazing, day in, day out they make sure you want for nothing. Our butler and cabin steward were amazing people. The Seaside is a gorgeous ship. It is designed very well and the decor is smart and elegant.
We really enjoyed the yacht club lounge, restaurant, and one pool/grill area. Lunches at One pool are amazing, great selection of favorites and a different option at the carving station each afternoon. A perk of the Royal suite is the inclusion of a cabana on the One pool deck. We spent hours up there, protected from the sun but just steps from the pool. The pool area itself was seldom crowded.
We enjoyed the food in the yacht club restaurant, loved that the menu changed each day, and we even had dinner at the Captain's table in the Ocean Cay restaurant one evening.
Cabin Review
Yacht Club Royal Suite
This is a great cabin. Lot's of space. You can separate the bedroom from the living room and bathroom areas with physical doors which is great. The balcony is huge, with two chaise lounge chairs, a table for six people, Two chairs with foot rests, and a Jacuzzi tub. The only nits I have on the cabin are that the balcony is not very private, I wish the bathroom had a double sink, and there are towel racks in front of the storage drawers in the bathroom vanity.

We chartered a boat and traveled to Stingray City, did some snorkeling, and stopped at Starfish point. The whole day was great. saw lots of marine life and enjoyed the day with an entertaining crew.

This port is chaos. Aggressive vendors and traffic everywhere.

We spent the day at Mr. Sanchos in the Playa Suite, incredible!
