Has anyone gone on YouTube to see the videos of World Europa?  I am enjoying every little bit of info I can find on her.  I have never booked a cruise on a ship that hadn’t sailed yet.  I’m afraid I am a planner and not knowing everything about the ship drives me crazy.  Hope to see you on board.

We booked this ship (6 may) and the Seascape. Not only two ships that haven't sailed yet, but this will be our first time on MSC!

Hi Nic & Wayne from New Zealand we are on this cruise 12 May out of Barcelona. First time MSC but have cruised Princess and RCL including in the Med 10 years ago.

We are on a 7 week tour around Europe this is our break from packing and unpacking for 7 days.

After seeing the feedback so far on facebook on this cruise line I am skeptical very little good at the moment. Most say it is the worst food they have had and worst service. But maybe by the time it gets to the Med it might have improved. Will have had 6 months to iron it out.

Nic, everything  you read you need to take with a grain of salt, not all is bad with MSC if you see my signature , I have sailed MSC a lot and am booked a also booked on MSC Seaview right after this cruise. People always compare MSc to other brands, MSC is in a league of the own. They will be soon the biggest cruise company in the world..

Wow. I just saw how many times you have cruised on MSC.  It can’t be all bad.  I am concerned with all the negative reviews.  I have never cruised on a ship with so many people saying they would never cruise again.  I should stop reading them.

[doones2]

Has anyone heard about the hidden speakeasy on the ship?  Saw a video on it.  Looks interesting.  With a different port every day, how do we find the time to enjoy the ship?  I am use to Caribbean cruises with 2-3 sea days

[capitalbarry]

Has anybody had success with MSC Upgrade Bid Program?? I have 2 bids going for this sailing, still no word on any room upgrades, sigh, been over 3 weeks since I put in my offers bids

Can anyone suggest a good spot for the Sail-Away on the Europa from Barcelona?

Maybe we could meet everyone on this list at Sail-away for some bubbly.

We leave for a Florida, Transatlantic on Reflection April 23rd and then 6 days in Barcelona prior to the Europa on May 12

Will there be a sail away party on the pool deck?  If not, then I think the very back of the ship I think on deck 8.  Not sure
