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 staff members. However, there are consistent complaints about small cabins, repetitive and bland food, inconsistent service, crowded areas, and issues with excursions and port times. Pricing is seen as reasonable by some but others feel nickel-and-dimed by extra charges. The overall experience is enjoyable for many, but several guests compare it unfavorably to other cruise lines, especially regarding food and service.
