Ive never cruised in Haven or Retreat so I have nothing to compare YC to We swiched from the Haven to the Yacht Club when we found out that a week in the Haven on Epic costed 3000$ more than a week on the then brand new Meraviglia. We were not disappointed. Now we haven't cruised in a few years, because of Covid, so it will be interesting to see how the experience on World Europa is, embarkation in less than three weeks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this on another topic heading. It would be interesting to read your observations on World Europa as it will mirror our upcoming World America bookings. Here is another potential problem exacerbating the crowded situation on cruise ships. Been reading social media from those traveling in the Yacht Club on World Europa, sister ship to the new World America. It appears that the YC venues are the same square footage while the number of guests will be doubled. Perhaps we should just 'suck it up' and enjoy the "Sea".....ships because the worst is yet to come. In addition, I have read on another cruise site the importance of a ship's 'space ratio'. Over all, not YC portion, the space ratio of the World America is 34.2. Less than 33 means crowded in areas. Greater than (>) 39 means plenty of space for each passenger. When a ship is not sailing at capacity the space ratio can be as good as 41. These details are very difficult to ascertain before one books a ship and date well in advance. We just have to go with more postings like these. However the space ratio is determined by taking the gross tonnage of a vessel divided by passenger capacity. World America's gross tonnage is 215,863 / 6762 passengers = 31.92 space ratio. Supposed to be 34.2 as stated above. We will just have to see..... Just to put it in perspective. MSC Explora 1 gross tonnage 63,900/922 passengers = 69.3 space ratio (more room to dance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no one on the ships has gotten off to retrieve their vehicles at the usual 7 am time for disembarkations. Also it behooves many to take notice of potential problems like this for not booking flights out of airport in the morning. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2023/06/25/1-dead-1-injured-after-30-foot-boat-collides-with-fisher-island-ferry-overnight/ Edited June 25, 2023 by morpheusofthesea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted June 25, 2023 #39 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I suppose divers have to determine if any debris from the accident will damage any cruise ship upon entering and exiting the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
