Jimbo59 Posted February 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2018 We’re currently on Seaside (February 10-17cruise). Internet is a great bargin compared to other cruise lines ($45 for the week) for basic web and email. Usage is measured in MB used, not minutes used. Food is comparable to other mainstream cruise lines (Princess, Royal, Celebrity, etc.) Service at dinner last night was excellent. Service at breakfast today was slow. Fantastica Experience includes wine, etc. Quality is very good. Ship is beautiful, lots of chrome, mirrors, etc. I would describe the ship as high energy. Lots of activities, music, DJ’s for dancing. Also classical music, opera, musical shows. Most shows are 30-40 minutes. I’ll post more at end of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h0twired Posted February 13, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wifi is by the MB. They offer a package for streaming video, etc. I don’t know if it is unlimited. I think the largest package was for 6.5 GB for the week. After that it was $11 for 500MB. Think of it more like a mobile data plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicfairy Posted February 14, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Ok this is going to sound like a strange question. I am not a breakfast person but on rci they have an area in the buffet that is an oatmeal and cream of wheat staion. Do they have anuthing like that on Seaside? I don't do the bacon/ sausage and eggs thing. Thanks. Sent from my LGMP450 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is coverage of the breakfast buffet from someone else who sailed on Seaside earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the 4/14 with Fantastica but didn't realize this was included. Thanks Fantastica does not include wine with meals but there was a promotion for a while that did include wine, beer or soda with meals. Fantastica does include the coupon book that can be used for wine if desired. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also received 12 drink coupons each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also received 12 drink coupons each.That's the same promotion we had and it worked great except for the first night in the dining room when our waiter wasn't aware of the program. After he asked his supervisor the rest of the week was never a problem. Not everyone has the free drinks with meals promotion, it depends on when you booked. Enjoy!

NMsunset Posted February 15, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Many of the Seaside Fantastica packages were sold including both the unlimitied mealtime drink package (good in MDR and buffet), plus the 12 coupons per person. It was a 2 for 1 promo, we purchased this. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBob Posted February 15, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi, what are wine and beer options with mealtime drink packages...They had a house red, white and rose wine (Only one choice of each) and the beer was Heineken Draft. My wife did manage to get a Riesling a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h0twired Posted February 15, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi, what are wine and beer options with mealtime drink packages... When we were on board the draught beer was Heineken and Heineken Light. Was fine with me. Beer snobs might turn their noses up at it, but for me the best beer is free beer. The house wine was La Terre. We had the merlot and the cabernet the first night and stuck with the cabernet the rest of the week. It was a decent drinking house wine. Between the five adults drinking wine at the table we would usually have about 3 bottles per meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
