MSC Cruises is introducing two new fast-casual food concepts on MSC Seashore.

The Chicken Man and Red Cactus BBQ & Ribs are both included in the cruise fare, giving guests new grab-and-go options while onboard. They join the ship’s five specialty restaurants, plus 18 bars and lounges.

Located on the main pool deck, The Chicken Man serves chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches with a variety of sauces from a walk-up counter.

Open for breakfast and lunch near the ship’s aft infinity pool, Red Cactus BBQ & Ribs offers classic American barbecue-inspired fare, including pulled pork hash, beef brisket and traditional sides like baked beans, coleslaw and macaroni and cheese.

Guests can enjoy the new venues while sailing aboard MSC Seashore, which is spending the summer offering three-, four- and seven-night cruises from Port Canaveral.

“The introduction of these new grab-and-go options aboard MSC Seashore further reflects our commitment to continuously enhancing the guest experience,” says Bernhard Stacher, senior vice president shipboard hospitality for MSC Cruises.

“Our guests consistently tell us they value having a wide choice of dining available, so we are focused on delivering greater convenience and flexibility, making it easier than ever to experience carefully designed and meticulously crafted local favorites while making the most of the ship’s pools and the Caribbean’s endless sun,” Stacher concluded.
