Cruise Critic Review of the Week

MSC Seascape by PaddyT "The ports were great. We especially enjoyed Taino Bay with its gorgeous free-form pool, lazy river, sun beds and hammocks. The private island, Ocean Cay, was stunning. With a number of beaches to choose from, it never felt crowded. One of the best private islands of any cruise line."
