MSC Seaview v Opera

[amurray88]

Hi all,

 

Trying to get my head round whether to pay extra for MSC Seaview compared with Opera.

 

It's approx £55pp more expensive and has similar ports.

 

I do prefer bigger ships but it seemed Seaview had worse reviews than Opera? Help 🙈

I've been on both, and loved both. If 55 pound difference for the whole cruise, then I think I would opt for MSC Seaview. The price difference is well worth the extra amenities and the more extravagant decor. The buffet food is identical on both ships (even though I sailed Seaview well before the pandemic, and Opera just recently). The a la carte is also similar. The theatre shows on Seaview are much bigger, but still similar to Opera's. I would give both ships a 4 star review out of 5, both have plenty options to improve, but are well worth the ticket price.

Yep, we thought the same. We went with Seaview 👍
