Of course, as each new ship joins a class, changes are likely - but when sister ship MSC Seaview came online a year later in 2018, the two shared identical deck plans. While promenade venues and other decks successfully emphasized flow, the placement of divided eateries up top resulted in an uncharacteristic cul-de-sac of food with little means to easily pass through. ButcherвЂ™s Cut, Ocean Cay Restaurant, and the freshly revealed Asian Market Kitchen by Roy Yamaguchi (consisting of sushi, teppanyaki, and fusion elements) were nestled between the public upper buffet and private MSC Yacht Club. The room freed up back on Deck 16 was then reserved for SeasideвЂ™s specialty restaurants.

The boardwalk was terraced at the stern, with the aft South Beach Pool down a level and the shipвЂ™s arcade, virtual reality simulators (formula one and interactive XD cinema), bowling alley, and billiards installed just inside. A divided buffet evenly distributed crowds - The Marketplace Buffet, uniquely situated on Deck 8, drew attention to the Waterfront Boardwalk, while a secondary Biscayne Bay Restaurant & Buffet resided on Deck 16. One of the main pools was relocated, as Mille prescribed, from its traditional high perch to the lower promenade deck. Seaside was touted by MSC as an outward-facing ship focused on ocean views and saturated with deck space for sunbathing. Purposefully reminiscent of one of MiamiвЂ™s contemporary condominium towers, the lineвЂ™s first vessel dedicated to the North American market was a standout when docked at its initial Floridian homeport. Then in 2017, after being built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, MSC Seaside launched with its promised bold profile and unique layout. (Gearheads keeping track might also recognize that Norwegian Cruise LineвЂ™s upcoming Norwegian Prima and Virgin VoyagesвЂ™ Scarlet Lady and their respective sister ships appear to share a similar tall, narrow platform, albeit with several architectural differences.) The following year, MSC placed an order with Fincantieri to build the Seaside-class - starting with the eponymous MSC Seaside - seemingly based on Mille, at least unofficially. By redistributing heavier items such as spas and pools to lower decks, the upper levels could reach greater heights (and thus additional decks) without minimizing overall stability - itself quite an innovation. The prototype featured a narrow superstructure balanced uniformly across its length, including a more centrally located engine room and exhaust stack.

MSC Seashore may be the newest addition to MSC CruisesвЂ™ fleet, but the shipвЂ™s story actually began in 2013 when Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri presented a concept design called Project Mille.
