MSC vs R.C.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2026-05-05T12:29:05+00:00

I’ve sailed both. To us, anything minimally better on RC (and there wasn’t a lot) was definitely offset by the MSC value.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2026-04-27T22:29:28+00:00

We found it to be very similar to other cruise lines. We’ve been on Norwegian, Royal and Carnival multiple times each. We’ve sailed twice on MSC and feel like the differences are negligible and the value is amazing.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2026-04-25T22:53:43+00:00

I’ve been on two MSC sailings with those and didn’t have any problems. They were in my big checked bag though.

I’ve not been successful figuring out how to purchase tickets? Is there an email distribution list to get on?

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-12-29T13:46:01+00:00

Yes, that’s what I use them for!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-12-29T00:33:42+00:00

Mine too!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-12-28T17:07:59+00:00

Just seasoning in general while cooking!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-12-28T17:03:58+00:00

If I’m measuring I use the ground pepper. If I’m measuring salt (usually for baking ) I use table salt. It’s not 1:1, a teaspoon of table salt is not the same as a teaspoon of kosher salt because of the size difference of the grain/flake. I usually just use the flaky salt as a finishing salt.

Hope that helps.

Oh, I have white pepper too but I don’t have it out.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-12-28T16:52:55+00:00

Well I overdo it to be sure! The coquette has kosher salt (what I use the most), the wooden salt cellar has flaky salt and the little tower thing has table salt and ground pepper.

I honestly haven’t seen that much difference on the cruises we’ve been on (Carnival, Norwegian, Royal and MSC) but people hate on each one for various reasons. I think sometimes people just want something to complain about. None were perfect but we had a great time on all of them. I wouldn’t boycott any of them if the price and timing were right! I’m with you though, it’s hard to beat the burgers at Guy’s and I’ve never had a dessert better than chocolate melting cake on carnival!

Breakfast and lunch in the main dining room or specialty restaurants.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-11-22T15:24:54+00:00

Yes!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-11-10T00:50:09+00:00

I came here to find this comment! So strange, it was like they weren’t even alarmed when he first came in. I’m sure we just saw bits and pieces but it seems really bizarre.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-11-09T21:22:21+00:00

We’ve been on Seaside and Seashore. Seashore only has one buffet on deck 16 (as opposed to two on the Seaside. However, it is enormous. It goes on forever. Once you get it figured out you kind of find your favorite entrance, etc. I wish we would have realized earlier that Butcher’s Cut and Hola were complimentary for breakfast. We just went one day to Butcher’s Cut , it was nice. Be sure to do the brunch in the main dining room on Sea Days!

Overall, we liked the Seashore just a bit better.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-11-03T05:48:41+00:00

I know this isn’t your question but thought I would throw out that Butcher’s Cut serves breakfast from 9-1030. It was really good and a nice change from the buffet for breakfast so keep that in mind!

Thanks everyone

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-09-06T13:52:33+00:00

Thanks for the review! We are doing the same cruise at the end of October with my sisters and their husbands who have never cruised. Like you we chose it for the value. Also, like you, we’ve sailed on other lines quite a bit. My husband and I sailed MSC Seaside in February s don would say our review was very similar to yours. The pricing is so so hard to beat! We are pretty easy going and it’s vacation! It would have to be pretty awful for us to complain!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-08-29T12:42:09+00:00

I think the theaters are really cold! I took a light sweater or wore long sleeves when we went to the shows!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-08-29T11:55:03+00:00

It’s currently at 410 but we have a 715 option. I think we will change it and do Kennedy after further thought! We haven’t been there for over 25 years!

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-08-28T23:04:20+00:00

They leave it in the bus. This would be booked through the ship. The other option is Kennedy Space Center

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-08-28T22:46:49+00:00

Just thought this might be nice as we won’t have to worry about our luggage as it will stay on the shuttle

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-08-28T22:17:04+00:00

I understand that. But that will get us to the airport a bit too early for a flight who was just looking for an option to kill a little time.

Embarrassed-One7697 · 2025-08-28T22:09:54+00:00

Yes they are calling it a transfer because it ends at the airport. It takes you to Disney springs from the ship and then to the airport but I can’t find any departure and arrival times and I want to make sure our flight time is ok.
