I took a cruise one of the most controversial cruise lines, MSC Cruises. When we boarded MSC Seascape, I wasn't sure what to expect. Even though I've been on over 35 cruises, my first MSC cruise wasn't what I expected!
In this video, I share an MSC cruise review, which includes what we liked best on MSC Seascape, as well as things that could have been better. I also share an MSC Seascape cruise ship tour, along with MSC cruise tips you'll want to know.
If you're planning an MSC cruise or have been considering which cruise line is best for you, this video is a must-watch! MSC cruise vlog & MSC first time cruise tips.

We have done 3 MSC cruises in the past 8 months, which the cost of the cruises made this possible. We have been on the Seaside, Magnifica, and the Divina. We love the European flair onboard their ships. They have been some negatives but over all will enjoyed our self and We Love MSC.

Hi ! Ilana, My wife and I are South Florida Residents since the 60's. We've cruised all over the World (since retiring in 2009). Actually we started cruising from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale in 2001. So, we are very familiar with the area and the Industry. Our favorite cruise line at this time is Princess (Elite Level cruisers) But we have enjoyed cruising with Celebrity, RCCL, MSC and NCL. Love your videos ! One thing that you didn't mentioned with MSC is that they offer a match of Loyalty Level (just in case you didn't know). We as Elite Princess Cruisers receive Diamond Level Status with MSC. All you have to do is send proof at booking time and you'll be awarded the status and perks that go along with it. Thank You and Keep on Posting those great videos !

Just a warning about MSC Yacht Club: Once you try it, you won't want to go back to any other cruising! We have done 7 MSC Cruises, with the last one in Yacht Club. Fabulous experience. We have three more MSC Cruises scheduled--in Yacht Club. The value is beyond compare. Also, if you love traveling in Europe, you will enjoy the differences on MSC. People who expect an American experience don't usually appreciate MSC.

110% endorse MSC Yacht Club. Husband loves it so much I had to basically blackmail him into trying Princess next year ;-). It's a bit of a splurge compared to the price of your typical MSC cruise but it is so beyond worth it. Oh, and the Yacht Club hot tub on the Seascape is the hottest on the ship.

Two things to add. If you are new to MSC and you have a status on another cruise line, or even hotel status, MSC will match it and give you their benefits. I matched instantly into Gold on my first MAC cruise. Also, in San Juan, do the El Yuenke rainforest excursion. It is amazing to see the Puerto Rican rain forest!

Thank you for this comprehensive review… Aussie here… heading off to Rome in a few weeks for MSC Seaside out of Civitavecchia. I watched a few American RU-vid reviews for MSC that weren’t flattering of the Food, but at the same time didn’t show much if it. Watching your video the food looked so appealing…. I recognise that the experience out of Italy will of course have subtle differences… But I head off now feeling confident that it will hit the spot. Thanks again for your review.

You have done an amazing review Ilana. Thank you for sharing. We are excited to go this upcoming week. This will be our third MSC cruise. We cruised twice on the Seaside last year out of Port Canaveral. I think with every cruise line your going to get your hiccups and MSC has been really listening to what their clients are complaining about and making changes for the value of the cruise. We are also Canadian Cruisers and love to hear all the different languages as well. Just getting away from Spring in Canada for a week is a treat in its self. Happy Cruising

Hi Illana, so good to hear your positive views of MSC Seascape, I have not sailed this ship (yet) but last year my first-ever cruise was on MSC Prezosia and I was blown away by many of the things you wrote about. This year I am trying MSC Virtuosa in October. I found more things to love than to complain about. One negative was the lack of choice for Vegetarians in the MDR - but I figured that if I needed to, the Buffet was more than adequate. I did not starve! The crew were fab, entertainment varied. Another negative perhaps was there were very few things that a solo rookie could do, I like my own company so did not worry about this, I heard that there are 'meet-ups' on other ships but not on the one I sailed on. All in all, I am surprised that MSC receive such negative views, yours were great to hear - thank you.

I just got off the Seashore on May 5th and absolutely loved it. Amazing cruise and great value. Great review. I'm booked for YNt Seascape next in December 2024.

You have done an amazing review Ilana. Thank you for sharing. We are excited to go this upcoming week. This will be our third MSC cruise. We cruised twice on the Seaside last year out of Port Canaveral. I think with every cruise line your going to get your hiccups and MSC has been really listening to what their clients are complaining about and making changes for the value of the cruise.

I miss Captain Bye Bye. We had him on the Sky Princess in Jan 2020 and I heard he left Princess for MSC. There are few Captains I remember and he is one of the good ones. He keeps you well informed in a lite hearted way.

My husband and I went on her sister ship MSC seashore. It was the best experience we have ever had and we are platinum on several different levels on several different cruise lines.

As always, your videos are full of great information. We are taking our first MSC cruise in June. Trying them because of their loyalty match program. My wife, Linda, is looking forward to wearing the dresses she bought on your recommendation. I’m with your husband on the need for daily gelato!

I met you on this cruise while my boys were experiencing the water slides. This was our first MSC cruise also and we really enjoyed it as well! The buffets topped Carnival by a landslide, but that’s all we have sailed in the past to compare. We will definitely be back on MSC in the future!

I enjoy your channel. We were on the MSC Seaside 5 years ago and really enjoyed it. In a few weeks we will be on the MSC Magnifica. She’s an older, smaller ship. We are excited for the itinerary. The reviews on her food and entertainment have been good.

The entertainment at the Magnifica bits Seascape by far. The theater show singers are to be in Broadway. They were superb!

So glad that you found MSC as good as we have. We found them about six years ago and are hooked, going on our fifth cruise with them next month. Like you, we explore the ship first and know about the hot air balloon. Last cruise and the upcoming one are Aurea and we appreciate the any time dining plus the little extras; and we are not spa people.

We took a 7 day Caribbean cruise on the MSC Seaside. We thought the specialty restaurants were pricier than on other lines, so we ate every dinner in the main dining room and the food and service were very good. The entertainment was excellent. I liked the smaller buffet for breakfast and it’s located on an upper deck. We ate most lunches in the main buffet and it was ok and had very little style. We loved the private island and we were docked there overnight. I would highly recommend a cruise that is docked overnight at Ocean Cay.

We have cruised MSC and really like them for the beauty of the ship and Ocean Cay is our favorite private island because of the serenity, not an entertainment complex. That speaks to my demographic of cruising without kids and looking for relaxation on the private island. One things about Ocean Cay is that if you have mobility issues, be sure to understand the layout of the island and how the golf carts work. So happy to hear you recommend MSC.

I've sailed the Meraviglia 2x and Grandiosa in the past and very much enjoyed the cruises and the ships are beautiful. Your thorough review and video of the Seascape make it appear as beautiful and yet, very different from those two ships. I have another Meraviglia cruise lined up, but will definitely look at Seascape and/or World America for 2025.

Illana, We salied on Seascape in January and I have to agree with everything you said. It was better than we expected after listening to all the negative reviews. We had a fantastic time. The ONLY negative we found were some of the guessts wrre rude, but that had nothing to do with MSC. The ship crew and food were all amazing. We will definitely sail with MSC again and would love to try Yacht club..

Great review and images, very detailed and helpful information. We were on the MSC Seaside cruise back in November and had the Easy Package drink. With this review I just learned that the soft ice cream is included for free, though not self service. Going on another MSC cruise now in July so we will definitely get ice cream this time. Other than that we really enjoyed the cruise except debarkation where we waited several hours to finally exit at 11:00 a.m. this was at Port Canaveral FL.
