Recently embarked on a voyage aboard the MSC Seaside from July 2nd to July 6th, 2023, departing from Port Canaveral to celebrate my niece's birthday. It was an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. The ship boasted a sleek and modern design that added to its allure. With a minimum of three pools and six hot tubs, there were plenty of options for relaxation and aquatic fun. The entertainment provided on board was of high quality, and the standout performance was undoubtedly the Starwalker Michael Jackson show. Additionally, we attended a comedy show, which was entertaining. It's worth noting that reservations were required for these shows, and each passenger could only attend them once during the voyage.
When it came to dining, the food was decent but didn't particularly stand out. The ship offered two inclusive dining rooms, along with specialty dining options for those seeking a more unique culinary experience. Buffets on decks 8 and 16 served breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there was even a late-night dining option from 11 pm to 1 am. Moving on to the ports of call, our first stop was Nassau, Bahamas. Since my last visit, Nassau had undergone significant development. We made our way to Junkanoo Beach and found it to be enjoyable. The MSC private resort, Ocean Cay, was a highlight of the trip. It featured at least three beautiful beaches and serene lagoons. Additionally, food trucks dotted the island, adding to the overall experience. We witnessed a light show on the lighthouse, although the view from the boat was just okay. It might have been more spectacular from the island itself. We were fortunate to have until 11:30 pm to explore the island before needing to be back on board.
The ship offered exciting amenities, including three thrilling slides and even a ziplining option. Unfortunately, we missed out on the ziplining adventure due to inclement weather, which led to its temporary closure. On a positive note, the drinks onboard were delicious, and the MSC app proved to be very useful. However, the internet connectivity varied across different parts of the ship. Throughout the trip, the staff displayed exceptional hospitality and attentiveness, making our experience even more enjoyable. Based on my time aboard the MSC Seaside, I recommend it to others seeking a good cruise experience.
