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

Amazing ship, bright, light, and shiny. All ultra modern. However, it's very noisy, very loud and always so busy. The buffet was horrendous with so many people jostling and shoving. No where to relax or be quiet. The cabin was good, clean and spacious with a good bathroom. Food average at best. Very expensive as you have to pay extra for lots of things , such as port transfers.

Ship was amazing, staff great, cabin was disabled one with no seating other than the bed. Bathroom smelt of stagnant water. Food in buffet was cold and poor selection. Restaurant food was OK but not amazing. Other passengers were rude. No tea/coffee making facilities in cabin, even though we asked and was told it would be put in cabin. Drinks package was very expensive and there should be a smaller/cheaper option. Poor communication of daily arrangements, we like a paper copy to read( don't want to be on phones all the time). Shows we're amazing but don't understand why you could only see a show once. On the day flying home we spent 8 hours at Barcelona airport very poor planning.
