We were invited to a wedding on board the MSC Seaside. I have not heard of this cruise line and have only been on a carnival cruise to Mexico 10 yrs ago. Please share your experience if you have been on a MSC cruise (the good, bad, etc.) Thanks.
The first was when they first entered the US market. Food, entertaining, general atmosphere was very European oriented. The ship was beautiful in a Las Vegas, very glitzy way. It was a good cruise at ab outstanding price.
In 2020, we went with MSC again. It would be generous to say that it was medicore.
If you keep your expectations low, it will be fine. Go for the wedding, if you will enjoy that aspect. If missing the wedding won't be a personal or family issue, I'd definitely skip it.
Funny coincidence - I just watched
on TV documentary about this cruise ship, yesterday.
You can watch it here to see what to expect :
I don't care for travel on cruise ships but like with everything else, I think that one bad experience doesn't mean much.
If you are invited and it's free to you, I would definitely go.
Been on about 7 cruises. The first thing that I check is ship size, number of passengers. I want nothing to do with mega ships. We went on MSC Divina some years back and will never go on a mega ship again.
One of the best that we went on was Holland American Zaandam, only 1400 passengers. Very friendly.
I've sailed MSC, may have very well been the Seaside; I lose track. It was a Caribbean cruise with very well being 50+% Italian passengers. I'm talking native Italian speaking. Not much to say besides it was a step up from Carnival which isn't saying a lot.
Carnival - Getto cruising. The only redeeming quality is ice-cream and tacos/burgers poolside at all times.
MSC - Eh-eh in every aspect.
Norwegian - Solid middle and upper-middle class. Pretty much does everything right.
Royal Caribbean - Geriatric cruising. Nice ships but pay for everything. Shockingly small dance floor for the size of the ship.
MSC is a European cruise line which for some reason attracts a lot of Italians from the southern boot of Italy, which it the equivalent of Billy-Bob USA. Once onboard you'll understand
