here's what people are saying about the MSC Seaside 2018
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses her research regarding the MSC Seaside, a new flagship vessel sailing out of Miami. Although the ship features a unique design and appears clean and spacious, the creator notes that passenger reviews are largely negative. Common complaints include a heavy focus on opera for entertainment rather than diverse variety, such as comedians or magicians. Additionally, passengers reported that the food is bland and heavily geared toward a European palate rather than the American and Canadian audiences expected in Miami. The creator also highlights issues with disorganization, specifically regarding long lines for dining, embarkation, and shore excursions. To support these findings, she references a review by YouTuber Jim Zimmerman, who described the MSC Seaside as his worst cruise experience despite staying in a high-end cabin with many perks. Based on this research, the creator concludes that she will not book the ship this year, preferring to wait and see if the cruise line addresses these service and culinary issues before attempting a voyage.
