I loved this video!! Sailing on my first MSC cruise in January 2025. I will definitely be prepared. I am so excited!! Thanks for sharing. 😁

I applied for and was approved for a status match while watching this video! It couldn't have been any easier or quicker. They matched my HH Silver to their Silver. Thank you for the tip!

Have a great cruise and let us know how it goes!!

While I cruised the Meraviglia during Covid, with only a thousand onboard, showed up at 9am to disembark and was told just go!

It must have just been this cruise. Our experience on the Seaside was so much smoother. I bet that cruise with just a thousand was nice....😁

Well that was a great nugget of info...AKA boarding times!!

Mates! Everything you presented in this video is spot on! Certainly, Seaside had a steep learning curve for us! MSC Seashore this coming December will be a lot smoother! We didn't have any washcloths either in our cabin! Lol! We asked our cabin steward Amit and he brought us some wash clothes and beach towels. The line for disembarking the ship rivaled the line to get on Space Mountain at Disney! 🤣The positive was it was way faster! I was already aware that as Diamond level we could do late check out on the MSC cruise ship so we didn't depart till almost 10am. For whatever reason the Homeland Security facial recognition camera never recognizes me when I return to port! I assume I'm being profiled as a Pirate since I was wearing a tricorn and headscarf...I told the agent this time I didn't have anything to do with plundering the rum off the ship Seaside! I gave him a bottle of fine rum for his troubles to which he gave me my passport back and let me pass through...Pirate's Life for Me! 🏴‍☠🚢

Love MSC was on the cruise right after yours. I’ve learned to not pre pay your gratuities same thing happened to others I was with we didn’t pre pay. Two future cruises booked with MSC both no pre paid gratuities haha

I did status match and I got gold due to working with Hilton for a short time and utilizing their employee program

No washcloths is a European thing. You won't find them in a lot of hotels there either. People over there tend to pack their own "flannels" or "face cloths." Just a cultural thing. Also not uncommon to not have a top/flat sheet on the bed. You typically have a duvet (comforter) in a duvet cover that is removed and washed.

Thank you. A very helpful video😀

Hi. Thanks so much for doing this video. When you say park outside close to the exit away from the parking deck, do you mean use one of those companies that provide outside parking and shuttles or do you mean self park outside the port?

Hey Bev. We parked at the port itself. It was really easy. We did have friends that used off site parking but we have always used port parking. Thanks for watching!!!

Dumb question because I’ve never been on a cruise before let alone msc and I’m going in Aug on seaside… but when you disembark and let’s say I’m not paying attention to the sheet they give us… do I just go wherever we got on the ship/where we got and off at ports?

@monkeyb1820

Жыл бұрын

The port entrance/exits are often some lower decks, but disembarkation tends to be same level as when you first enter, typically some main atrium level.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting on the MSC Seashore in a couple of months. I've been watching other videos from others that have cruised MSC. One major complaint that seems to be at the forefront is that the "Buffet is very limited, lacking in quality and taste and during peak times LONG LINES THAT BARELY MOVE!!" Also, that breakfast in the Buffet ends at 9:30 am with only "Continental limited breakfast" after 9:30 am! I like to sleep in and get a late breakfast. QUESTION²: That Service in the Main Dining Room is lacking, because they DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES? QUESTION³: The passenger has to setup their own Credit Card Account onboard at A KIOSK? Thanks in advance. 😎⛹️‍♀️🤸‍♂️🚴‍♂️

I don't remember what time the breakfast buffet ended but I do remember it was very crowded at the beginning and then tapered off to a more manageable crowd. They definitely need more staff. You do have to use the kiosk to set up your onboard account with a credit card unless you do it prior to cruising through the website. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
