Fabulous ship but too many people!!! In January with no one outside it was Just so busy at times and very noisy! Buffet became impossible on the sea day. Overwhelmed the staff and passengers! Entertainment in Theatre and Panorama was 1st class and we saw both shows every night. Embarking and disembarking the Ship was very efficient. MSC we’ll be back!!

From the momemt we arrived at the terminal we were looked after by the yacht club butlers until we disemarked 7 days later. The ship is massive and impressive I must admit we prefer smaller but the service was second to none. Entertainment fantastic and the food in Yacht club was hot and delicious. Everyone tastes and needs were cateted for. The other specialty restaurants were superb. We would absolutely reccomend and go with MSC YACHT CLUB again. But I dont think we would be regular passenger on Europa, the ship with 6000 on board was noisey and very busy. It would be a great holiday if you have children as in the main area as something for everyone.

She is a beautiful ship and even though she can carry a vast amount of passengers, we never felt as if it was too busy. So many venues to explore made it very interesting and varied. We dined in Butchers Cut one night which was good, also our waiter in the main dining room looked after my gluten intolerance splendidly! He even brought me 2 Lobsters one evening as I had had to wait for a while for my meal. Delicious! Our cabin was enormous with a huge balcony and kept very clean by our Steward. I have no complaints about MSC World Europa and would choose to sail on her again in the future
