3-Night MSC Seaside Cruises from Miami to the Bahamas

MSC calls these cruises out of Miami "3 Nights Caribbean & Bahamas" but they're really weekend trips to two spots in the Bahamas. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) MSC Seaside makes visits to Nassau (about 180 miles southeast of Miami) and to the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. The "Reserve" is MSC's private island, only 65 miles east of Miami. It features a whole lot of beach, a spa, opportunities to do some scuba diving and an outdoor food court. These 3-day cruises depart on Friday for some pretty memorable weekends.

MSC's Cruise Ship Seaside from Miami

While based in Miami, the 5,119 passenger MSC Seaside spends most of her time making three and four day trips to the Bahamas and northern Caribbean. There are also a few 7 to 11 night cruises scheduled, usually around major holidays. The Seaside is designed with Miami in mind - amenities include the Miami Beach pool, South Beach pool, Miami Casino, and Biscayne Bay Restaurant and Cafe.
