Too brain fried. Good night!
I like seemed to have had better because it's more elegant.

I imagine it's a question of tense and nuance; the second is past meaning back then they seemed to have a great time at the time; the first means that in the present they seem to have had a great time in the past - they're still talking about how great it was, etc.

Sorry for the lecture!
Thanks for this!
