MSC Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

Pros are supposed to go before cons, so I will put the positives first, but please don’t miss the negatives later in this review, because although there were a few redeeming qualities, make no mistake, I would never sail with MSC again. First positive, all the staff below the managerial level deserve to be commended for being true, if not powerless, delights. We had many wonderful interactions ...

If I could give no stars I would. I joined a world cruise with MSC and have had nothing but frustration and grievances. If you are a parent I highly suggest considering another cruise line. A child was assaulted by an adult passenger and when the parents filed a complaint after bringing him to the medical center, nothing was done but a warning. The baby pool on the cruise was under maintenance ...

My husband and I embarked on this cruise, despite a radically changed itinerary, because MSC refused our request for a refund. However, our experience was so awful that we disembarked on day 20 of 85 in Walvis Bay, Namibia, and flew home from there. Better to forfeit the unused cruise fare than to continue to subject ourselves to the cruise line’s utter disdain for passengers and 65 more days of ...

I give my thoughts as this is my 20th + cruise and have traveled with several lines. I chose this cruise as it should be 21 days of what I had hoped would be getting to know other guests and chat. I was not aware there are huge changes of guests at every port visited. Not ideal I think. Food is all quite bland In complementary restaurants. There are several pay to eat restaurants with high ...

We chose this world cruise excited to visit some of our bucket list destinations. While visiting Egypt became impossible due to conflict in the region we were still thrilled we would be going to Rhodes. But not to be. More than half the cruise has been made up of sea days with substandard destinations. Food has bern appalling with regular absence of fresh fruit, salad and now no coffee available ...

We are currently on this terrible cruise Over 500 people on board have signed a petition protesting the way MSC are treating us. 1. So many sea days Change of itinerary increasing itinerary to an extra 20 sea days, less port times, and no compensation for these changes or refunds of tax and port fees. As compared to other cruise companies such as Cunard, princess, costa etc who have ...
