1-10 of 44 Mediterranean MSC World Europa Mediterranean Cruise Reviews
Our 2nd cruise with MSC. This time on World Europa out of Barcelona.
Flew into barcelona the night before and stayed in the Fontair Congress near the airport. The hotel had a cruise and stay package, so free pick up from airport, room, breakfast and free transfer to the port. Hotel is 10 mins from airport and 25 mins from the port. Next to the hotel is a shopping centre, and a ...
Cruise Route: Barcelona, Spain > Marseilles, France > Genoa, Italy- Civitavecchia, Italy > Palermo, Italy > Valletta, Malta
This was my first time on any cruise and it was a phenomenal experience. The staff was soo welcoming that I didn’t want to leave, most esspecially Mercy a buffet attended. We were the largest family on the cruise and her service was exceptionally awesome. Always checking ...
Disclaimers: First, I believe there is a cruise line for everyone. Second, I have cruised the Mediterranean before (June 2023). Third, I typically sail on Holland America.
I simply did not enjoy this cruise experience. There were multiple things I did not like but understand they may just be annoyances to me. There were a few standouts of things that were really good.
The Good:
1. The ...
So for some context this was our 30th cruise with 6 different cruise lines, 6th with MSC and 3rd in yacht club.
Hands down this was our favourite ship ever.
Pro's-
The ship is utterly incredible. Yes it's massive, but there are so many incredible venues and locations and although it was full it felt like it handled the numbers well.
Loads of swimming pools and massive hot tubs. It's ...
I have sailed with MSC in 4 different ships in the past, Splendida, Poesia, Euribia (the best so far) and lastly World Europa which was a huge shock!
I don't even know where to begin on how awful the whole experience on this ship was. The staff was so unfriendly and always angry with everyone (guests and their own colleagues) there are a few exceptions of course but these were hard to find ...
We were staying in cabin on the 11th floor with infinity ocean view boarded at Palmero with fantastica experience.
Issue 1: They do not clean you window. We were stuck with a dirty window for 5 days without anyone cleaning. When you complaint the room attendant say she promise they will clean on the next day. When next day comes they do not clean them. The window is dirty from them cleaning ...
Just back from 1Wk on World Europa from Barcelona, last min birthday present. As it was a January trip, fleeces and jackets were packed. We have done this Med cruise several times before on different ships, so we know the ports, know the script etc.
The ship is quite new, and as my other half can get affected by choppy seas, we decided to take an inside cabin, which faces the “promenade” view ...
POSITIVES:
We booked a Fantastica package with one device Wifi and premium drinks package.
The balcony cabin on Port side deck 10 was lovely. Spotlessly clean, roomy, comfy bed and compact shower/bathroom. The TV had mostly non-English speaking channels but this did not bother us.
The quality of the food in the complimentary restaurants and buffets was very good. We ate breakfast in Il ...
MSC WORLD EUROPA - I have just come back from a 7 night cruise trip in the Med. Having been on the Seashore I must say that the World Europa ship got me a little bit disappointed. The layout is not as good.
Excellent:
Animation team.
Outdoor areas.
Good:
Cleanliness.
Most of the bar staff.
Food ( apart from the food poisoning from mussles).
Bad:
-Layout.
-Promenade ...
The ship looks beautiful and really modern, was very impressed on the 1st day; then things got worse:
When the sea was rough and very windy, the ceiling panels made such loud sounds that we couldn’t sleep. They listened to the videos for 3am, 5am with the loud noises; but still need to wait until it happens again and checked by the carpenter before we can change cabin. We were already near the ...
