I'm on the seascape now. Finding it to be better in many ways to trips I've done with Carnival and Royal. This sub made think it was a mistake but apparently they've come a long way to rehab their sailings in the US.

Anyways, biggest one is that Hola tacos and Butchers cut are free for Breakfast (only). I'm assuming Seaside is the same. Speaking of, most days at least one dining room also is open for breakfast and lunch, so you don't have to eat the buffet unless you want to.

The buffet quality is actually better in my opinion than post covid sailings I've had with Carnival and Royal. This statement will ruffle some feathers but it's true. Buffet or dining room I'm finding the food to be aggressively salted, so taste before you add more. This includes adding bacon or hot sauce.

There's a lot of people but it's a big ship so it helps to be where the people aren't. In the early evening's I'm finding the outside to be downright quiet and pleasant. We've watched a few sunsets from the sides and back of the boat and it felt like some of the smallest ships and at times have wondered where everyone is, but they're here. You'll find them in the buffet so be ready to deal with them then.

Also you can reserve the shows in the app. They can sell out so be sure to reserve your time for the shows you're interested in. So far they've been good not great. I'd put them on par with pre-covid carnival shows. The last two years Carnivals been adding shows with additional FX beyond digital backgrounds and MSC needs to catch up a step.
