Thank you for the offer, but we will be headed to the ship around 11 am on the 13th to start our trip. We'll have flown in from Vienna the day before and are just planning on getting up that morning and taking a taxi from our hotel. Thank you for the offer though!

Sailing the World Europa in 2 weeks our of Barcelona and out of curiosity, what kind of table games did they have in the casino and do you know what the table minimums were? Thanks in advance! Oh and one more question...what time were you able to begin boarding in the Yacht Club. Our boarding pass says 2 PM and our last YC cruise, we were on the ship by 11 am. Granted that was on the Mergavillia in the Caribbean, but wanted to know if the time on the boarding pass is firm or if they let you on early. We are boarding in Barcelona.

Sorry, you're not having an enjoyable time. Personally, there is no way I'd book so long of a trip on a ship that was less than 6 months in service, especially on a cruise line I've never been on before. Too many kinks to work out and you have no reviews to go by to temper your expectations. We are booked on the World Europa in October for a week-long cruise and having been on MSC before, we know what to expect in the YC and are truly looking forward to a nice relaxing week. "Pestering" happens on a number of cruise lines. They are doing their job and that is to make money. A simple no and keep walking goes a long way. I hope you can find some enjoyment in the rest of your trip!

My husband and I will be on the ship the week before you! We are so excited!!! Enjoy your cruise!

Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself...I'm Stephanie (age 50) and my husband Jason (age 49) are taking our second MSC cruise and we are so excited to be on the MSC World Europa for the Oct. 13, 2023 sailing. We live in the US (in Central Florida) and this is our first European cruise and we're really looking forward to it. We're going to be flying to Vienna for 4 days before the trip and then flying over to Spain, arriving in Barcelona on the morning of the 12th. Our only other previous cruise was on the MSC Meraviglia for Christmas of 2019 and we loved it. We totally loved the Yacht Club experience, so we are booked in the YC again for this trip. We've already booked 2 excursions for stops in Italy in Genoa (Portofino & Enchanting Views of Liguria Riveria) and in Messina (Mount Etna tour). Normally we hate to do cruise ship tours, but these seemed not too bad and are something we would want to have planned out for us. We are planning on doing a walking tour in Marseille, France with a private guide and In Naples we are planning on doing a self-guided trip to the ruins of Herculaneum (much less crowded, and very well preserved, albeit smaller than Pompeii). I am a history nerd and don't want to be stuffed on a bus when we can do a trip on our own and tour the ruins on our timeline! Since we live in Florida, we've done more Caribbean cruises with our daughter than I can count and we've also done 2 cruises to Alaska. Since our daughter is now away in college, we aren't bound to the school schedules, so this is a trip just for my husband and I! We're super excited. The World Europa looks to be a beautiful ship and we're looking forward to meeting more people who will be on board!
