We sat in the raj tea room a few times, really nice venue, has an inside and outside area. Piano played in the afternoon around 3pm when we were there. I'm YC TSL, it was mostly a duo act with two young guys, not a bad voice but music a bit dreary for me! One day we had a guitarist (same one as we saw in the master of the seas), he was excellent. There is a piano in the TSL but we didn't catch anyone playing but I'm sure they did at times. Hope this helps

We just disembarked the europa, used the thermal area 3 times in our week. Two days were port days and it was quiet and last visit was on sea day and it was much busier. Plenty in there to do and very clean. Steam room, pool area with vertical water coming down which massages your back, two saunas both with windows overlooking the ocean, ice bucket with chain to pull to release old water over you, Ice room (real snow inside to run over your body), showers with jets, hot and cold foot pools (6) and a mediterrean room (bit like steam room but less steam) and 2 rooms with 4 heated beds in. Well worth a visit, hope this helps. If you visit the spa when you board they will show you found the areas before you commit too.

Panarama lounge has had technical issues last two nights and no shows, hoping they fix soon as its a great venue.

Don't worry if you don't get the pre cruise questionnaire, we didn't this time. Just ask your butler once on board, he will sort out your printed paper and a bottle of drink of your choice from a list, Eg gin, rum, etc.

Onboard now, so can answer, with diamond on world europa you get a meal in hola tacos, butchers cut or the sushi place. Garden cafe and the fish restaurant are not included, which is a shame.

Thanks for all the great info, we join the Europa next week on the same itenary. Was there a charge for the Venom slide?

Thanks, I have been looking for the chefs garden menu, think this may be it (in Italian), is this not classed as an experience menu?

Hi, been cruising with MSC for a while and now at Diamond status, understand we get a free speciality meal, can we use it in either Chefs Garden or the Fish restaurant on World Europa? If so, is there a certain choice off the menu? Thanks

I received one too, although the minimum bid is very high, as they apparently use these for market research, you'd think they would set a lower minimum so they can see what people are willing to pay.

Thanks, will be interesting to compare to the Virtuosa 🙂

Hi, we have travelled in yacht club a few times and love it. Have recently booked to go on the World Europa and currently have a cabin on deck 16. Can someone who has been onboard advise if the deck 16 yacht club rooms have direct access (via stairs or a lift) up to the top sail lounge? We were on Virtuosa last trip and had to go through a sliding door on our deck, only for yacht club users, to get to our cabins which then meant we could easily get to the top sail lounge and restaurant, there was even a yacht club lift. Thanks

You upload a pic of the negative lft and fill in your details on their Web page. They ask for pass no ,date of birth, name, address. Cert came back within about 20 minutes via email.

For info I used UKHealthTesting in the end, the non supervised lft at £8.25 (although 10% off if you buy 4) and it was fine when checking in today at Southampton.

I have booked abparking for Southampton, is it best to let them take your cases at the car park or shall I keep them and give to the checkin at the terminal? Last time I went YC via Southampton I was on the train but remember them taking our suitcases at checkin and they brought them straight to our room. We arrived about 11.30 and was allowed straight on. If I let the cases go at the car park they could be hours before they arrive I guess?

Hopefully the UK will follow suit soon, although I have already bought the tests so happy to do them if it helps keep everyone onboard safe 🙂
