YouTube Video Description↓

This is the 7th 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 make our final port of call with an afternoon in Nassau Bahamas. On the way in we are greeted by the brand new Celebrity Edge and get to spend some time docked with the Symphony of the Seas as we prepare for our move the next day. We take a look at the aquatically focused sports deck onboard and for our daily dine we visit the near by Biscayne Bay Buffet. As the final episode from onboard the MSC Seaside this episode features the sailing review with a look back at the last 7 nights onboard and how everything went. We review the ship and it's offerings as well as discuss the areas where MSC seems to be so severely lacking. As a ship designed for the American market from a line wanting to take enter with a splash they have a long way to go to meet the basic requirements of healthy and safety that American's expect from a cruise line. This means being aware of norovirus and taking precautions, ensuring that crew are not putting the ship at risk of a fire, and most importantly that the required training and understanding of safety procedures actually happens. Until then MSC is going to have a very rough road ahead of them and anyone considering sailing with them should really evaluate if their life is worth risking to save a couple pennies.
