True, no outlets next to the bed. Just one USB port (left, when the bed is next to the window - right, when the bed is next to the bathroom).

I believe there were 4 plugs in our cabin at Seascape (2 US / 2 EU) and 3 USB ports. 2 at the desk and 1 next to the bed.

Just got off the ship. Any specific things you want to know? We liked the ship. It's brand new and food was good. Also went to specialty restaurants Butcher's Cut and Ocean Cay Restaurant. Both were great. Service was hit or miss. Cabins are great. Bathrooms very small. Great entertainment.

Just got off the Seascape. We had one formal night. Several themed nights (60's, black & white, etc.).

Awesome!!

Great!!

Oh noooooo ... I want ginger beer!! 🙂

Actually, they had it 3 years ago on a European sailing with the Meraviglia. We will be in the Caribbean next week and hope they have it there as well!!

Thanks for the information! Ginger beer is a soda, though. I know it's misleading...

Hi there My partner and I love ginger beer (not ginger ale). Does anyone know if it's available on MSC ships? We will be sailing on Seascape next week!! Thanks, Chris

Hi all We will be sailing with MSC Seascape soon! We have an interesting package included in our cruise fare: - Studio Portrait / Dinner Photo / Photo with Master Anyone an idea what that means? Also included: 1 free play on each Virtual World attraction Any an idea? Does that include a ride with the Robotron? Thanks!

Your comment was not really constructive. Unfair to rate ALL MSC ships as 3-star ships, that's a kind of blunt expression. MSC's new ships are beautiful and I have had great experiences on the MSC Meraviglia where service was top notch in comparison to HAL. 3-star is kind of insulting, especially when you write 'all ships' and 'a little bit of luxury'. Your 'tone of voice' could be more friendly, as other have stated. If you haven't been on the ship, you can not rate the ship. Simple. And now, let's continue with the good vibes 🙂

Totally disagree. Having sailed with Celebrity Cruises, NCL, MSC and HAL, there's no 'huge' difference between the cruiselines in terms of ships, cabins, entertainment. If you compare them with Seabourn, then yes... there is a difference. Other than that, rating "ALL MSC ships" as "3-star" is kind of pointless, really.

Hi everyone! How would you describe the cabins on the new MSC ships? I read that someone called the rooms "not cozy" and "without charm"... (some people don't have taste though lol). To me they look absolutely amazing... Modern and I must admit I prefer the light colors better than the dark red / purple couches they have one the older ships.

Haha exactly, we are old enough that we can agree to disagree. Same to people who are 'against' cruising. Fine for them. I love it. No need to start a discussion. By the way, is there a star rating for cruise ships? Does that even excist? You mention the lowly 3.5* Preziosa, where do I find the official star rating system? Not the stars that we as customers can give, only interested in an official star rating system.

Don't agree with the Euro vibe sailings. It really depends on your fellow passengers. Sometimes, for some reason, people tend to be more impolite...more formal. Especially cruises with a lot of kids. I don't see myself on a Disney Cruise... too many kids running around lol. As a European, I like the American vibe... you guys seems to talk to everyone 🙂 And that's what we like. Europeans tend to be more formal. And I also disagree (don't blame me for that 🙂 ) with the Norwegian, X, MSC, HAL thing. To me, nowadays each cruiseline is about on the same level. True, decades ago there were differences but today each cruiseline has great ships (true, with their own identity) but honestly, don't all the cabins kind of look the same today? Service I experienced on all cruiselines was about the same really... no big differences at all. Food on X was slightly better. And yes, on X they filled our ice bucket each night without asking. But does that really mean they're different from all the other cruiselines? Not to me.

Thanks so much for the information! Much appreciated!

Haha true, most Europeans are not really into the American vibe 🙂 but we LOVE it! Belgian beer & waffles are the best though, I must admit! In terms of entertainment, we are not really into the bumper cars, ice skating, etc. For example, the Robotron on the Seascape is not something you will see me in. We love the MSC entertainment shows though. They're among the best we experienced at any cruiseline.

We sailed with MSC, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian and Holland America. We are Belgian and we like the American vibe 🙂

Hi all We will be sailing on the brand new MSC Seascape in a couple of weeks and we are really looking forward to our trip! You, as real cruise experts, how would you rate the new MSC ships compared to other cruiselines? Some rate other cruiseline as 5-star ships and some cruiseline are rated as 3-star ships. To me, those new MSC ships look like luxurious ships that can definitely compete with other luxurious cruiselines. We have everything included such as spa access, internet, premium plus drink package and the voucher even mentions: Studio Portrait / Dinner Photo / Photo with master. Anyone knows what that includes? Anyhow, we are really looking forward to exploring the ship! To me, for the last 8 years, MSC is doing a great job with all those new ships such as Seascape, World Europa, etc. I look forward to hearing your opinions!

Hi all, A question regarding the Deluxe Balcony Cabin on Seascape. Can somebody tell me if all the beds in the cabins are located at the window? It's not a big deal, but I just wanted to check if there's any way I can find out. Thanks, Chris

Hi there! We will be sailing the Caribbean with the brand new Seascape in a couple of weeks. We have sailed with MSC Cruises many times in Europe. I'm wondering if there's a fixed seating for dinner? If so, will be be able to share a table with our fellow travelers? Do we need to make our dinner arrangements upfront? Thanks for any input! Christophe
