The date belongs to the source, not a current inspection. Facilities, access and cabin layouts can change by sailing. A missing figure means the source does not establish it.

Space ratio is gross tons per lower-berth passenger; higher is roomier. Guests per crew member: lower is more attentive. Places to eat excludes bars. From the line's published specifications dated March 2026. The line publishes only the maximum passenger count, so the lower-berth figure here is cabins times two.
MSC Seaside, to scale
MSC Seaside is 323.1 m long (1,060 ft): 2.9 American football fields end to end, and 54 m longer than the Titanic.
