Summary:
Just before Christmas, we were unlucky enough to take a two week cruise around the Carribean onboard MSC Seaside. On the first day, I managed to get food poisoning from chicken in one of the buffet restaurants. I did make a complaint the next day and even though the man at reception was very sympathetic and said someone would speak to me but that never happened. Also, the food in the buffet restaurant was only warm on the best of days. The air conditioning was up far too high and most of the passengers were wearing jumpers in the evening and not forgetting we were in the Carribean. Piped music around the ship both inside and outside was relentless and drove us nuts there was nowhere to get away from it. The shows only lasted for 30 minutes tops and as I said we were on for two weeks the second week was a repeat of the first week. I have to say the cabin was one of the best we have ever had but unfortunately, there was no tea or coffee I had to go out for it and we do like a nice cuppa first thing in the morning. The crew were on the whole very good but quite a few didn't undersand English which meant it made life a bit difficult sometimes. Our first port of call we arrived in the dark after being at sea for a day and a half and we didn't get a chance to see much of it.
