Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the MSC seaside the latest design from MSC Cruises of course MSC is starting to make a move into the US market

the buffet repeats itself in a circle so instead of going down the left or the right you can go around

the ceilings are actually very low in a lot of areas you just get this very odd feeling of the ceilings being close enough to actually hit you in the head

it's a seven night Caribbean sailing that starts out in Miami tomorrow we are going to have a Dancy then we will have an evening in Puerto Rico

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book show reservations on board as soon as possible, as they are required and can fill up.

✓Use the MSC for Me app to plan daily activities, but be prepared to create a separate onboard account.

✓Arrive early for embarkation to avoid traffic delays at the port.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Booking shows and dining reservations — Reservations for shows must be made on board; plan to do this early as venues can be empty but reservations are required.

Navigating the ship's unique layout — Use the MSC for Me app's live ship map, though it's cumbersome; familiarize yourself with the atrium and buffet areas.

YouTube Video Description↓

This is the 1st episode of theCruiseView's sailing onboard the MSC Seaside. The first non Royal Caribbean sailing for the series. Unlike my other videos that feature the ship and let you enjoy the experience of being at sea without interruption, theCruiseView is a guided tour of the daily happenings during the cruise. This sailing features the MSC Seaside as she sets out on a 7 night Eastern Caribbean sailing. Over the course of these 7 episodes you will get to see in detail every Daily Planner, every main dining room menu, and all the happenings onboard during this 1st birthday celebration voyage. This series will take you into the day to day experience of being onboard the MSC Seaside with over 4,000 guests to experience every moment of life at sea and every festivity along the way. On today's episode we're going to spend our first day onboard in beautiful Miami Florida. Our grand departure was delayed along with that of all the other ships in this over flowing port. We look into what was involved in boarding this ship and the experience that sailing with MSC brings with it. We also take a look at the two of the most popular areas onboard, the Marketplace Buffet and the Atrium.
