Mediterannean Cruise 2 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
A great cruise on the MSC Seaview, the ship was full, my cabin was upgraded from a Balcony Cabin to a Suite, but it was at the end of the corridor at the front of the ship, with half of the balcony view covered by metal due to the ships design and the normal glass section to look out was all metal, so pointless to sit on the balcony because you couldn't read more see anything.

The ship itself was lovely, and despite having over 5,000 passengers, didn't feel crowded. I had meals in the dining room and the food was delicious and very well presented. They had lots for kids, zip-line, water slide, water play area, ten pin bowling and games room. Plenty of pools to sit around on the one day we had sailing.

The cruise started and finished in Rome we visited Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Canne, Genoa and La Specia. All beautiful cities, the day trips that I booked through MSC were well run, informative and the costs not excessive. I liked the way you could pay cash into your onboard account, so not to have the added credit card charges. The staff were excellent and friendly and the cabins serviced daily, with towels changed whenever required. Would definitely cruise again with MSC.
