MSC Seascape Balcony Cabin Tour | Brand New MSC Cruise Ship!

Our MSC Seascape Balcony Cabin Tour is from embarkation day of our inaugural cruise from Rome, Italy to New York City. This cruise will be 17 nights and will stop in Barcelona, Cadiz, Seville, Funchal, Bermuda and NYC. This MSC Cruise is going to be fun so watch out for our other videos in the next few weeks.
We found there to be plenty of electrical outlets, a comfortable bed, and a nice bathroom. This is a brand new ship so everything is top notch! This MSC cabin is quite nice and we really like it.
Our balcony room is on deck 11 and we have great views of the sea.

Thank you for the video, it encouraged us to bring our Xbox too! I have a question: we purchased the 3 device browse+stream internet package, but when we connect the Xbox to the wifi, it takes us to the authentication page, we log in, but we don’t have te option to start the wifi session, it just says “please wait”. How did you guys connect to the wifi? We are afraid to ask the cruise staff as we don’t know if it is allowed to have an Xbox on board. Thank you for your help in advance!❤️

[@Crybarcz228]

ASAP, please please please give us a good honest review of the ship regarding what it offers or doesn't have to offer as well as your likes and dislikes. I am literally holding off from booking MSC for an upcoming Seascape cruise just because of several negative video reviews mentioning that MSC cruises have "bland food", unhelpful and possibly rude staff, being quite disorganized and chaotic, as well as lack of good entertainment. Also the continuous ship announcements have been said to be annoyingly excessive, long and in many languages. Please comment your experience as soon as possible. I'm Hoping you can change my mind and that the MSC Seascape is nothing but wonderful and that MSC has re-tooled itself to prepare for serving US passengers out of Miami. Please send us more videos asap! Have a great 17 day cruise and let us know everything!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

The short answer is that this is better than other MSC cruises we've been on. We are pleasantly surprised! We will have a full tour and review in the next few days. The ship is beautiful!

[@stevengower]

MSC was my first cruise and all of that negative stuff is false.

[@leahb.3261]

I’m in the sam boat, I want to try MSC but the negative reviews as the ones you mentioned and people getting charged extra and them not refunding money for months…I look forward to their honest review because I’m looking to sail in June out of Miami on the Seascape.

[@pedronieves5845]

Been booked for June on this ship in Yatch Club. My last 4 cruises has been on MSC ships and the experience has been fantastic. 2 from Miami and 2 from Europe. Can't wait forthis one!! Regards from Puerto Rico.

[@ka8byrdie]

I feel like most of those reviews are from people who are used to flashy American cruises like Carnival . 👀👀 an overload of junk food , wanting to be catered to every moment … just silly . So , I’ve found way more positive reviews than negative . It is an Italian cruise line and with that said …the service is ..Italian . You may not get overly ingratiating service . Just “here your stuff.” I just take those negative reviews with a grain of salt . But if you are into flash and over indulgences than this may not be the ship for you . I’d give it a try …only you will know . The ship looks fantastic .

[@s.n.e.8941]

Thank you so much. Quick question. I might have missed it, but what is this cabin number? Im asking because I love booking cabins that have the bed beside the balcony. On MSC, I have not figured out how to determine in advance of a sailing if the bed will be by the balcony or the bathroom. I know how to figure that out for Royal ships when booking a cabin. Did you know before you boarded the ship, where the bed would be located? Do you or anyone else know how to determine from the deck plan if beds will be by the bathroom or by the balcony? We are really trying to figure this out. thank you. also the cabin number might help .

We can't remember the actual cabin number, but we were almost all the way to the back on the port side.

It isn't easy but can be done. Each wifi package is locked to a device, so I have the series S on wifi from my Android phone hotspot. You can play games that require internet, but you can't stream Netflix or anything like that. So make sure your phones hotspot works with airplane mode on and you should be fine.
