MSC Cruises are following the sun with MSC Seaside. Inspired by a love of Mediterranean style cruising, MSC Cruises have incorporated a design that allows for maximum sun worship and incredible views for their first Seaside Class ship. The large waterfront boardwalk features plenty of places for guests to sunbathe, eat or shop while still admiring the beautiful sea views. Two panoramic lifts heighten sea vistas and glass bottomed catwalks allow guests to walk on water with stunning views of the ocean below.

Accommodating up to 4,140 guests with a range of new staterooms and suites, guests are welcomed into a seamless blend of comfort and style, as all cabins are spacious with an interactive TV, mini bar and air conditioning. Cluster cabins are also available for families and groups, whilst luxury suites feature private Jacuzzis and hanging gardens.

The ship is lovely and clean and the staff are very pleasant and always happy to help you with anything. The shows in the night time were amazing, and the dining room meals were lovely.
Very dissatisfied with Iglu and the ship. Iglu asigned us a balcony room but did not notify us that we had a restricted view - the view was of the spare propeller. Also not notified that there was no transfer from hotel to port and on our return the arranged taxi transfer to the airport did not turn up forcing us to pay for another taxi. Will not be booking with Iglu again. Regarding the ship - was far too big. No escaping the thousands of people. Food was disgusting and cold. We had asked for a table of two which we got but the other tables were positioned three inches away so we may as well of been sitting on a table of ten!!
Great cruise
A great ship. Very big, 5.5k passengers, so not very personal. Food okay in restaurants...not so good in buffets. Shows good quality but short and repeated weekly. Entertainment sadly lacking. Pool areas, swamped on sea days.
