Looks like the last time the Seaside was inspected was 2/23/2019? I would think it would be a yearly thing??

Will be in YC on the Seaside in June. This will be our 3rd YC cruise in 4 years (we are hooked). Husband is Diamond where as I am still Gold! I do all of the planning/booking for the cruises and he gets all the credit! LOL. We will hopefully be enjoying the Diamond specialty restaurant perk during that week. Looking forward to your review!

Definitely TA is the way to go (imho). We get a nice OBC and he gets to deal with the train wreck that is MSC Customer Service landside.

We had come from Disney Cruise Line sailing Concierge prior to 2019. You could do 2, 7 night YC cruises the for the price of 1, Cat V Concierge room on DCL. We are hooked on MSC. Can't beat the price/product.

The pricing for our YC cruises have been pretty fairly consistent since 2019. Seaside for 2 adults and 1 child for late July 2019 was $6051 (YC1) Seashore for 2 adults and 1 child for early April 2022 was $5819 (YC1) Seaside for 2 adults and 1 child for mid June 2023 is $6148 (YC1)

My family will be cruising on the Panorama in April '23. First time sailing out of Long Beach. We are in a suite. If the line splits up in the building, do you have to still go to the end of the line anyway?

My families spring break cruise out of Guadeloupe was "cancelled" via an official email from MSC. (This was the re-positioning cruise from Southern Caribbean to Port Canaveral.) Long story short, my TA had a tough time with MSC customer service. They were initially not going to honor the email that was sent by mistake. After a week of going back and forth they caved and honored it and allowed me to get my YC deposit back. They didn't even give me a chance to decide if I wanted to continue with the reservation since all they did (weeks later) was shorten the cruise by 1 day and change embarkation port from Port Canaveral to Martinique. 😒

We really enjoyed our Grand Deluxe on the Seashore. The extra space (walk in closet) came in handy for my family. Most definitely heard a good bit of noise from the deck above at all hours. Our cabin # was 19012.

My family is booked on the April 8th, 2023 Panorama sailing in a Family Harbor suite. I think the big highlight for DH and myself is the coffee machine. I am used to either having a coffee machine in our cabin or in a lounge that is available to us (Disney Concierge and MSC YC). I will definitely be making many trips to the FH lounge just for that!

I was able to cast using SmartView from my Samsung phone to the Samsung TV on MSC Seashore.

And to pour salt on the wound, it looks like instead of my so called cancelled 7 night cruise ending up at Port Canaveral it is now a 6 day cruise ending in Fort de France, Martinique.

All the email mentioned was "necessary operational reasons". Looks like the cruise after ours was cancelled also. And the crazy thing is you can still book my cancelled cruise on the MSC website. That makes no sense to me. 😒

I finally agree with this assessment!! We were a Disney cruise family but MSC YC has become our go to cruise over the past 3 plus years.

Long story short, my family had the April 9, 2023 MSC Seaside cruise booked since May 2022. Just a couple of weeks ago I got an official email from MSC stating the cruise had been cancelled and my options were: #1 Move YC deposit to a new sailing or #2 Get a full refund of YC deposit. My TA is having a hell of a time with MSC. They first argued that the sailing was NOT cancelled and then they admitted it was. Then they refuse to transfer the deposit to the held cabin because they want to charge more money for the cabin. I am Gold Voyager Club and my DH is Diamond. They refuse also to refund my deposit. This is ridiculous. Of our past 2 MSC YC cruises, our TA has had no issues with booking for us. I guess this time they are making up for it in their complete ineptitude. Just had to vent!

Yeah...I had one way flight booked to Guadeloupe through Delta/Air France. And I bought it before the huge price hikes. 😪
