Images show more lounges in spa, not sure what 'only 3 loungers' are being referred to. Look at posted images of each of the spa rooms/areas, there are many seating areas and loungers...

How to identify creeps in restrooms, their the one's checking out others with or without mirrors. What happens with open trough style urinals?

In many countries, the restrooms are not sperated by gender nor partitions. Creeps can be creeps anywhere...the design of a restroom, classroom, church, playground, military baracks, etc. is not the problem...root cause: creeps.

Rumors and worry...stay calm.

Enjoy your cruise on whatever ship/line of your choosing!

Cheers!

Stay Calm folks, read the cray cray reviews and Lol...the vast majority of complainers are 'out there with extremes'. So are the ones that say everything was perfect.

Nothing in life is perfect, some complain about the weather...many complain about elevators (everyone in the world has waited in a line or at lifts)...and about their own lack of language/communication skills.

They will find windmills to tilt at.

Water and ice are availbale for free 24/7, bottled water is available 24/7 for purchase...buy the 14 bottles 1liter for $37.00... still or sparkling....better price than any US land resort...have you priced bottled water at a stadium lately?

As most have said, there are 4,000+ people on Seaside every week....the 30-40 strong complainers on CC have 100's of posts...math tells you all you need to know.

Like all lines MSC has +\-'s... enjoy your cruise (on whatever line/ship), life is good!

Cheers!

Our luggage tags are like the screen shot above, it states VC level on each tag: Black Member

when we had to call MSC customer service, there has been minimal wait and our questions answered quickly.

Cheers!

Same as others, is exactly what drove us to choose Seaside for 2018 1st trip.

The other lines in Miami have their pluses too, just wanted a different experience and a different passenger mix.

Many are comparing different ships/lines like they should all be same/similar...vive la difference.

Cheers, enjoy your cruise!

Appreciate the effort and posting images on other site was awesome for us slower internet folks. Keeps the thread fast loading and images easy to access, WIN!

Thanks again:D

Appreciate the update, ~$60.00 per person with wings, pizza, and 4 beers each...so outside of food & beverage cost, maybe $20 pp to have reserved booth to watch SB game, sounds like a deal. Everywhere else in same bar is free, much better than panic post 1st received.

Cheers, enjoy the game!

quote=Simports;55182549]The package is now $250 for a booth for four people. It includes 1 large chicken wings, 1 large pizza and four beers per person.

You can also get also get the same 8 person package for $400.

I highly doubt this is true- sounds ridiculous. If it is true- shame on MSC

wholly agree, and if not true, shame on CC.

Rumors and misinformation make CC, a less than reliable resource.

Cheers!

Image required to validate, not into believing wild rumors.

Cheers!

YMMV is so true, BTW staff is not there to say 'Yes'. They are there to do a job that they have been trained to do. Are all of them going to meet or exceed everyone's expectations...every time...that is unrealistic.

Notice that I am not pilling on with the tired trope of '...and many/most/everyone agrees with me'.

Cheers!

Someone from our group, wow I get how rumors are started...most reasonable folks would see this either as a miscommunication, leg pulling, or 'story'.

Cheers, until someone posts a screen shot or image of flyer/price list, gonna have to classify this as a red herring.

I'm ready to eat crow if this rumor can be verified, but think I'm gonna go hungry ;-)

Enjoy your cruise, with or without the annual advertising event!

Hi GB-

Please post image to validate that pricing.

Thanks,

I am on Seaside and my understanding is that you can watch it in the sports bar. The price is $375 per couple in order to sit in a shared booth. This seems astronomical to me. Last year it was $30 per person on Divina and that included 4 drink tickets and free food. They are already trying to sell the tickets this week to people who are sailing back to back. The game may be played outside on the big screens and you should be able to watch on the tv in your room, assuming the satellite feed is working.

Hearing many situations similar to this thread. It is not surprising that attitude is key for success in many of them.

Negative attitudes, rarely productive positive outcomes.

MSC, NCL, Disney, Costa, much less the 'World' is out to screw us over...

Smile, life is good!

Share a sunset with another, Cheers.

Hi CarrieAP-

We are excited just like you, did note you have March 2nd on your signature line.

Doesn't Seaside arrive/depart on 3rd...

Cheers!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share!! Love the photos. We leave in 5 weeks so trying to soak up everything Seaside!!

We prefer Jiffy Jeff Transport...they offer $15 pp each way, FLL to Miami Port and return.

They use large sprinter vans with captains chairs, very nice...check out their website http://www.gojiffyjeff.com/rates/

Enjoy your cruise!

Tall C-

Appreciate the factual 1st hand review and the many images, for each of us to determine for themselves.

Cheers!
