happy cruzin Posted January 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm hearing that "recently" MSC has changed the sail away time for the Seaside to 4:00 from 7:00. No change to the all aboard time - just the time of sail away. Any recent Seaside cruisers that can confirm that it is now 4:00?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI.....I'm told by TA - that with no real announcement because it doesn't change the all on board time - MSC has changed all of the departures from Miami to 4:00 pm. She also stated that they do not seem to be updating the documents or the website to show the change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care, since I'll be on board by 11:30 with Top Sail drink in hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shugey Posted January 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I've sailed on the Seaside twice since September and both times they left at 5 p.m. However, both times it was the eastern itinerary. I just checked and the western itinerary is still 7 p.m. Captain Marco Massa told me that the reason for the 7 p.m. departure was primarily to help European passengers who chose to fly to Miami on embarkation day a little extra time in getting to the port. Flights from Europe don't arrive until roughly 3 p.m.However, MSC evidently found that few if any of the Europeans took advantage of the later embarkation time. Apparently MSC didn't find many - if any - who waited until the day of departure to fly here- very smart! The western itinerary leaves Miami two hours later at 7 - and I'm just theorizing here - because the first stop is in Jamaica and it doesn't take as long to get there as it does to reach San Juan, the first stop on the eastern itinerary.
