A cruise trip across the Mediterranean offers you an opportunity to explore the diverse local culture of Europe through its various ports. Some of them are as follows -

MSC World Europa Itineraries

Msc world europa review, review of msc world europa.

The 2022-built MSC World Europa cruise ship (initially announced as "MSC Europa") is the first in a 4-unit "MSC WORLD Class" series of passenger liners designed and built for MSC Cruises . The first vessel (World Europa) is to be followed by the sistership World America (2025). The two optional vessels ( ordered in 2022) will be launched in 2026 ( World Asia ) and 2027 (MSC World tbn).

The vessel (IMO number 9837420) is currently Malta- flagged (MMSI 256070000) and registered in Valletta .

History - construction and ownership

MSC Cruises (MSC Crociere) is a passenger shipping company headquartered in Genoa and Naples . It was established in 1960. Today, MSC Crociere is a subsidiary of MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) - the world's 2nd largest containership company . MSC Crociere is the world's largest privately-owned cruise company.

By annual passenger shipping volumes, MSC is ranked the world's 3rd largest cruise shipowner - following only Carnival Corporation and RCG-Royal Caribbean Group .

As of 2021, MSC is ranked Europe's largest passenger shipping company. By the year 2026, MSC could become the world's 3rd largest cruise company (eventually surpassing NCLH by combined berth capacity) with a 29-vessel fleet that includes 15 newbuilds (2017-2027) and the unprecedented USD 13 billion budget for new shipbuilding projects.

MSC Cruises World-Class liners

On April 6, 2017, during MSC Meraviglia 's delivery ceremony at STX France Shipyard (Saint-Nazaire) , MSC signed a new shipbuilding MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with STX France for a new series of 2 vessels (World Class) at a total cost ~EUR 4,5 billion (~USD 4,8B). The ceremony was attended by Emmanuel Macron (France's President), Bruno Le Maire (France's Minister of Economy), Pierfrancesco Vago (MSC's Chairman) and Laurent Castaing (STX France's CEO). The first World-Class ship order was officially signed on May 31, 2017.

The order for the two optional ships was announced in January 2020, making MSC the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard's largest customer - with a total of 21 units constructed there.

World Class MSC ships are with max passenger capacity 6782 (5079 lower berths). Building cost per ship is EUR 1,125 billion (USD 1,255B). The shipbuilder is Chantiers de l'Atlantique (fka STX France). The shipbuilding order includes 2 initial units, plus 2 optional. Each vessel has Gross Tonnage/volume 215,863 (GT tons), LOA length 333 m (1093 ft), waterline beam/width 41 m/135 ft (max width 54 m/177 ft), height 75 m (245 ft), draft 9,2 m (31 ft).

When was first announced by MSC (in April 2016), this ship design was planned with GT 205,000 tons, 2760 passenger staterooms, max passenger capacity 6850 (world's biggest by capacity). By GT tonnage/volume, MSC's World Class represents one of the world's largest passenger ships .

Reviewing the boat's design concepts (renderings and videos) was suggested a similar to the Oasis-Class interior structure with a Promenade (ship-long wraparound complex) with numerous dining and drink venues (on the ground floor - Aurea Restaurant, Raj Polo Tea House, Gin Bar, Zest-Juice Bar, Elixir-Mixology Bar, Fizz-Champagne Bar, Malt Lounge & Smoker's Bar, Emporium Coffee House), Promenade Cabins (interior-facing balcony rooms) and aft-located swimming pool (family pool deck).

The Lido Deck is dome-covered (by a retractable glass roof with solar panels) and with a large resort-style swimming pool, 6x Jacuzzis (4 cantilevered whirlpool hot tubs / porside and starboard), kids' Aquapark with 1x swimming pool and 3x waterslides (aft-located outdoor playground adjacent to the funnels/smokestacks) and aft-located adults-only Sundeck (with 2x swimming pools). Forward is the MSC Yacht Club (exclusive Sundeck with its own swimming pool, Spa pool, bar lounge).

World Europa's MSC Yacht Club is enhanced, with key highlights being:

• The 2-deck sundeck is redesigned and provides 270-degree front views. The Lower Sundeck is fitted with dining and beverage venues (bar and grill). The Upper Sundeck has a large Jacuzzi/whirlpool and a swimming pool surrounded by a sunbathing area with padded loungers and private cabanas.
• Two new Owner Suites (cat YC4) feature a double bedroom (walk-in closet), bathroom (with a full-size bathtub), a separate living-dining area (with floor-ceiling windows), two spacious sundecks (terraces with alfresco dining areas and Jacuzzies).
• The 2-deck Duplex Suites have a lower level dedicated to the sundeck, lounge and dining areas, half bath. On the upper level is the master bedroom (with its own bathroom with bathtub). Duplex Suites have 2 sundecks, with the lower housing a jacuzzi/whirlpool bath and a lounge area, while the upper deck is for sunbathing (fitted with padded loungers).
• MSC Yacht Club's passengers can visit exclusive treatment rooms for massages (part of MSC Aurea Spa) and also enjoy unlimited use of the thermal area.

MSC Yacht Club complex houses a total of 152 suites.

The large ship has 40,000+ m2 (430,000+ ft2) of public spaces, 15,000 m2 (161,000 ft2) outdoor deck space, 3440 m2 (37000 ft2) main pool deck area, 7x swimming pools, 13x Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpools/hot tubs), 760+ m2 (8200 ft2) of children's interior complex designed by Lego & Chicco (with 7x rooms dedicated to different age groups), multiple bars, lounges, retail shops, 13 dining venues (including 6x specialty restaurants), 21 bars and lounges, "Zen district" (adults-only complex with 2x swimming pools, solarium/sundeck, shaded outdoor bar lounge), "Family district" (with 10x kids facilities/pools, clubs, playgrounds), family sundeck (kids-friendly sunbathing area), Aquapark (fleet's largest, with playgrounds, splash pools, water cannons, waterslides with virtual reality experiences, High-Trail Ropes Course, Zip-Line.

MSC World Europa Wiki

The vessel (STX France, Chantiers de l’Atlantique yard/hull number W34) has volume 215863 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight tonnage 18000 tons, max draught 9,2 m. The powerplant is based on 5x Wartsila marine diesel engines (model 14V46DF) with combined output 80 MW (107280 hp). The propulsion is based on 2x aft 5-blade propellers and 7x azimuth thrusters (4x bow + 2x stern) with combined output 44 mw (59000 hp). The registered shipowner is COMPANIA NAVIERA WORLD 1 SA, while the registered manager is MSC CROCIERE SPA.

The vessel's construction officially started with the steel-cutting ceremony held on October 31, 2019, at Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard/STX France in St Nazaire . During the ceremony was also officially announced the newbuild's name ("MSC Europa") by Pierfrancesco Vago (MSC Cruises' Executive Chairman).

The vessel's keel-laying / coin ceremony was held on June 29, 2020. During the special event, the ship was presented under the name "MSC World Europa". The ceremony was attended by two "godmothers - Zoe Africa Vago (daughter of Pierfrancesco Vago / shipowner) and Aurore Bezard (shipbuilder employee / in the shipyard's HR / human-resources department). The godmothers placed two specially minted coins under the keel (hull's first block) for good fortune - shipbuilding's historic maritime tradition. At the keel-laying ceremony were also present Pierfrancesco Vago (MSC's Executive Chairman) and Laurent Castaing (Chantiers de l'Atlantique Shipyard's General Manager).

The vessel was launched/floated out from drydock on December 2, 2021. On the same day at the French shipyard was held the keel-laying ceremony for the fleetmate MSC Euribia . Both ceremonies were attended by Pierfrancesco Vago and Laurent Castaing. MSC World Europa and MSC Euribia were, respectively, the 15th and 16th boats constructed by Chantiers de l'Atlantique for MSC.

World Europa's sea trials (in Biscay Bay, Atlantic Ocean) were successfully completed on June 18-19, 2022. The vessel was officially delivered to MSC Group by Chantiers de l’Atlantique

The ship's christening was on November 13, 2022, held at Port Doha's new "Grand Cruise Terminal". The naming ceremony was in partnership with Qatar Airways and led by godmother Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani (1984-born Qatari royal, as well as Qatar Foundation's CEO and Vice Chairperson). The event made World Europa MSC's first cruise ship not to be named by Sophia Loren. The ceremony was attended by Pierfrancesco Vago, Captain Marco Massa (ship's Master), Diego Aponte MSC Cargo's President), Akbar Al Baker (Qatar Tourism's Chairman and Qatar Airways Group's CEO), Hassan Al Thawadi (Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy's secretary general). The ship naming ceremony featured a drone show, a fireworks show, gala dinner, live musical performances (by Qatar Youth Choir and Matteo Bocelli).

The ship's laundry and catering equipment was delivered and installed by ALMACO (contracted by STX France in January 2021). The catering area (~5000 m2 / 53820 ft2) was fitted with 12x galleys/kitchens and 58x pantries (storage rooms for food, crockery, cutlery). ALMACO also provided the ship with 46 provision stores (total area ~2150 m2 / 23140 ft2). The ALMACO-installed laundry equipment is by Girbau Group (1960-founded, Barcelona-based manufacturer) and the laundry system is integrated with the onboard water recycling plant purifying the wastewater.

Ship technology

In mid-January 2020, MSC and the French shipbuilder unveiled the revolutionary R&D (research and development) project PACBOAT that focuses on integrating the new fuel cell technology (SOFC) on LNG-powered cruise ships . PACBOAT allows the generation of power/electricity using as fuel LNG.

• PACBOAT project's partners are France's CEA (Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission / government-funded research organization) and ADEME (Environment and Energy Management Agency / under the joint authority of country's Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Higher Education and Research), also ENTREPOSE Group (product design and manufacturing), BUREAU VERITAS SA (marine safety certification agency), CHANTIERS DE L'ATLANTIQUE (as shipbuilder, integrator, project coordinator / subsidiary of STX Europe AS) and MSC CRUISES (as shipowner, subsidiary of MSC -Mediterranean Shipping Company SA).
• SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) operates at very high temperatures (~750 Celsius / 1382 Fahrenheit). The new technology is ~60% more efficient than the Hydrogen-based PEMFC (Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell). PEMFC (aka polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells) is a low-temperature technology developed mainly for transport, stationary and portable applications. The LNG-fueled SOFC technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions by ~30% in comparison to the standard Wartsila dual-fuel marine engines (LNG-diesel).
• In 2022, MSC's SOFC project joined GE (General Electric Company), LR (Lloyd's Register Group Ltd), Ceres (nonprofit organization). GE developed a collaborative design for multi-megawatt (max 10 MW) shipboard SOFC system - powerful enough to provide electricity for large ships, and able to replace the conventional diesel generators.

Among "MSC World Class" key features are the new generation LNG-powerplant , new wastewater treatment plants, ultra-modern marine architecture with a Y-shaped superstructure (better panoramic views, significantly increased number of balcony staterooms), G-bow hull (vertically positioned / at 90-degree angle) improving the vessel's stability and hydrodynamics / fuel efficiency).

In January 2020, the Finnish company Wartsila was contracted to supply the engines, fuel systems, and propulsion systems (thrusters, propellers) for both "MSC World" ships (2022 and 2024). Each boat has 5x Wartsila 46DF dual-fuel engines (14-cylinder, running on MDO/marine diesel oil, each is fitted with NOx reduction units), 2x Wartsila LNGPac (gas supply system/fuel storage), 7x Wartsila thrusters (steerable/4x bow, 2x stern), 2x Wartsila FPPs (fixed pitch propellers/5-blade). The machinery was scheduled for delivery in mid-2020 (World Europa) and mid-2022 (World America).

This MSC ship class is also the industry's first to introduce LNG-powered SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) to produce all the electricity and heat needed for onboard services without combustion. The technology further reduces (by ~1/3) greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to conventional LNG-powered cruise ships.

• SOFC is an electrochemical conversion device using solid oxide electrolytes to produce electric power directly from oxidizing a fuel (in this case LNG/liquified natural gas).
• SOFCs are best known for having relatively fuel flexibility, low cost, low greenhouse gas emissions, high heat and power efficiency, long-term stability.
• SOFCs operate at very high temperatures (500-1000 C) and thus don't require platinum catalyst material and are not vulnerable to CO catalyst poisoning. IT-SOFCs operate at "intermediate temperatures" (600-800 C). LT-SOFCs operate at "low temperatures" (350-650 C). SOFC-GT is a system that combines a SOFC and a gas turbine.
• SOFCs are often used in stationary generators (with max power outputs 2 MW). The higher operating temperatures allow SOFCs to be used in the marine industry (engine heat recovery systems), which further increases the ships' overall fuel efficiency.

MSC World Europa's two LNG-based SOFCs (fuel cells by Bloom Energy) are with capacity 75 kW per unit (total output 150 kW). While the liner is in port, Bloom Energy Server shows ~60% efficiency and ~30% reduction of CO emissions without methane slippage.

MSC WORLD-class units are fitted with the latest and most environmentally efficient BWTS (ballast water treatment system) model BIO-SEA B02 0300 (by BIO-UV Group). The technology combines mechanical water filtration with UV disinfection. It is chemical-free and meets the IMO's requirement of 300 m3 per hour water flow rate.

On February 1, 2019, MSC officially revealed the in-cabin digital assistant ZOE. The technology ("cruise industry first") was developed by Harman International (USA-based company, fully-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics) which has developed digital audio solutions for major corporations like Google, Microsoft, Amazon.

• ZOE is an artificial intelligence device (voice-enabled, with advanced voice recognition software) available in all passenger staterooms.
• ZOE speaks 7 languages, answer cruise-related questions, provides info on shipboard services-activities-facilities, makes reservations and bookings.
• The digital device features far-field microphones, top-quality speaker, quad-core processor (for fast response times), direct phone connection (through Bluetooth). The system can also upgrade its own database to answer previously unanswerable questions.
• Passenger data (including itinerary/tour and shipboard preferences) is stored in the Cloud Storage system and used on the next scheduled voyage.

The device (sized ~15 cm) can be activated whenever passengers choose. A waiver must be signed to agree for their personal data to be stored.

Starting with MSC Bellissima (2019), ZOE is planned for a fleetwide introduction (over the period 2019-2024) and available on all MSC newbuilds.

MSC World Europa preview: This giant new cruise ship will have 22 decks, 6 pools and a record-breaking slide

Have you heard the buzz about the giant new cruise ship under construction for MSC Cruises ? If not, you will soon.

Scheduled to debut in December, this massive new vessel named MSC World Europa is an astounding 22 decks high — four decks higher than Royal Caribbean 's Wonder of the Seas , the current size leader in the cruise world.

It's also 1,093 feet long, which is longer than any other MSC Cruises ship ever built.

Still, despite its great height and length, MSC World Europa won't quite top Wonder of the Seas as the world's biggest cruise ship. Wonder of the Seas and its four sister vessels — Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas — will remain the queens of the megaship world when measured by total interior space.

After its debut, MSC World Europa will fall just behind them in the rankings of the world's largest cruise ships, at No. 6.

In all, MSC World Europa will measure about 205,000 tons — about 10% less than the five Royal Caribbean ships, known as the Oasis class . However, smaller is relative. At 205,000 tons, MSC World Europa still will be significantly bigger than any vessel currently operated by any line other than Royal Caribbean; this includes such cruising rivals as Carnival Cruise Line , Norwegian Cruise Line and Princess Cruises .

Like the Oasis-class ships, MSC World Europa will be able to hold nearly 7,000 passengers with all berths filled — 6,762 to be exact.

In other words, this is going to be one serious megaship.

Here's a preview of what to expect from MSC World Europa when it begins sailing later this year.

What's the layout of MSC World Europa?

MSC Cruises is taking a page from Royal Caribbean's playbook by breaking down the ship's public areas into distinct districts.

MSC World Europa will have an adults-only "Zen district" and a separate "family district" that will house 10 new kids facilities. There will also be a central interior promenade called World Galleria complete with entertainment, shops and bars.

The public areas of Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class ships are famously broken down into seven or eight separate districts, which Royal Caribbean calls neighborhoods.

Notably, the 341-foot promenade on MSC World Europa will be half-open to the sky and half-covered by an LED "sky screen"; the screen will light up with different displays throughout the day.

One of the signature features of the promenade will be The Venom Drop @ The Spiral, a record-breaking dry slide that plunges 11 decks and ends near the promenade area.

How many pools are there on MSC World Europa?

MSC World Europa will have six pools and 14 hot tubs, making it one of the most pool-covered ships at sea.

The watery offerings will include an Aquapark with multiple waterslides that MSC Cruises says will integrate virtual reality technology. There also will be a family sun deck.

How many restaurants does MSC World Europa have?

MSC World Europa will have 13 dining venues, including six specialty restaurants.

Two new-for-the-line venues will be Chef's Garden Kitchen (an outlet focused on microgreens), and La Pescaderia, a traditional seafood grill with alfresco seating.

Restaurants that already exist on other MSC Cruises ships will also be featured on MSC World Europa. These include the American-style steakhouse Butcher's Cut, the Asian-inspired Kaito Teppanyaki and Sushi Bar, and the Latin American street food-inspired Hola! Tacos and Cantina.

In a twist, the ship will have three separate buffet restaurants, each with its own ambiance.

MSC World Europa will also feature a craft beer bar serving brews made on board — a first for MSC Cruises. Dubbed the Masters of the Sea Pub, it'll span two decks.

Other drinking venues will include a cocktail bar called Elixir – Mixology Bar and a South Asian-style tea room filled with perfumes from the East. There will also be a widely stocked Gin Bar.

What are the entertainment options?

As one would expect from one of the world's largest ships, MSC World Europa will be chock-full of entertainment venues both big and small, including — get this — a venue that will host roller disco parties and serve as a bumper cars pavilion (the latter is something we've seen only on Royal Caribbean ships).

These entertainment venues will include:

• A multistory venue called the Panorama Lounge at the back of the ship, which will be home to "immersive" entertainment.
• A main, 1,153-seat theater, dubbed the World Theatre, that'll be the place for big production shows.
• A family-friendly multifunctional entertainment venue called Luna Park Arena, which will host movies, game shows, kids activities and themed parties.

MSC Cruises in September announced the Luna Park Arena would host three concert-style shows — all new for the line. They'll include a "Symphonic Ibiza" show that combines a big-screen orchestra, modern Euro dance music, three specialty artists, dancers, a DJ, two vocalists and a club-style atmosphere. Also planned is a "K Pop party" where partygoers will learn dance routines and sing along with K-pop hits, accompanied by street dancers, acrobats and vocalists.

In addition, MSC Cruises announced the World Theatre would be home to five full-scale theater productions — all also new for the line. One of them, to be called "Yellow Submarine," will feature circus elements based on Beatles songs.

The line also said the Panorama Lounge would be home to four 90-minute music experiences that offer a mix of live bands, dancers, singers, aerialists and acrobats. The dancing on display during these performances will range from samba and tango to waltz, disco and lindy hop.

Does MSC World Europa have a kids area?

Developed in collaboration with Lego and Chicco (and featuring play areas that include lots of their products), the children's area on MSC World Europa will spread over seven rooms and 8,200 square feet. This is more space than the children's areas on any other MSC Cruises ship.

Each of the seven rooms will be dedicated to a distinct age group ranging from infants to 17 years old.

What kind of cabins can you book on MSC World Europa?

MSC World Europa will offer 19 different types of cabins, seven of which are new for the line.

Among them: cabins and suites with balconies that overlook the ship's interior promenade and giant duplex MSC Yacht Club suites with living and dining room areas.

In addition, the ship will have the line's first "infinite ocean view" cabins with walls of glass facing the sea that open from the top down to create a balcony-like effect. It's a concept that first debuted on an ocean ship in 2018, on Celebrity Cruises' 2,908-passenger Celebrity Edge .

Where will MSC World Europa cruise?

MSC World Europa will debut in December in the Persian Gulf with sailings that include a visit to Saudi Arabia — a destination rarely visited by cruise ships.

The vessel will initially sail a four-night Persian Gulf voyage from Doha, Qatar, to Dubai on Dec. 20. Then, it will begin a series of seven-night voyages from Dubai. The seven-night voyages will feature calls at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Dammam, Saudi Arabia; Doha; and Sir Bani Yas Island. The latter is a beach and wildlife-viewing destination in the UAE that will be exclusive to MSC World Europa passengers during their visit.

In late March 2023, MSC World Europa will reposition to the Mediterranean for a series of seven-night voyages to ports in Italy , France , Malta and Spain .

Eventually, MSC World Europa (or a yet-to-be-built sister ship) is likely to operate sailings in the Caribbean out of Florida . However, such itineraries have yet to be set.

MSC World Europa will be the first of four sister ships scheduled to debut between 2022 and 2027 that will make up a new class for MSC Cruises called the World class.

Great Cruise Experience with MSC World Europa

Sep 22nd, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of cruising aboard the MSC World Europa, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ship itself is stunning, with beautifully designed venues and an open-air promenade that made every evening feel magical. The food onboard was simply delicious, offering a variety of cuisines that catered to all tastes. The itinerary was perfect, starting from vibrant Barcelona and visiting charming cities like Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina, and the picturesque Valletta. Every port brought new adventures, and the smooth organization of excursions made exploring effortless. Overall, the cruise exceeded my expectations and left me wanting more!

Simply An Amazing Cruise

Mar 18th, 2024

This is an excellent cruise to knock off list things to do and see each morning that you awaken (other than the one sea day that you have to explore the huge, beautiful and magnificent ship.

Wonderful overall - our first cruise on the Mediterranean

We were very glad we went on this cruise. The room, food and shore excursions were outstanding. This is a great way to see the Mediterranean coast and take in all the beauty and history. We had never heard of MSC before but the price, dates and stops were just what we were looking for. There were some disappointments but we would do it all over again - perhaps without Palermo and when it was less cold and rainy but those things could not be helped. So, thank you to all the wonderful staff on board ship. You are all amazing.

Terrible if you are American

Do not come to this cruise if you are an American. The food is dry. The bread is hard that could be used as a brick for weapon. The

Trip of a Lifetime

Feb 22nd, 2024

We loved our cruise. Beautiful ship. Incredible ports. Nice weather- cool but mostly sunny for January. Mid 60s most days. The magic of being in the Mediterranean is a dream come true.

Ok for our first MSC cruise

Feb 17th, 2024

Ports of call were good. We went to Marseille-Genoa-Rome-Palermo-Malta. We enjoyed Genoa and Rome the most.

Pigs on a trogh are nicer to watch then the guests eating at the Buffet

Jan 28th, 2024

Sorry MSC, we will part way, after my 41stcruise and my Diamond status with you I have decided, that you dont offer what we are looking for.

MSC WORLD EUROPA Thanksgiving 2023

Dec 5th, 2023

Voyage 8 Days from Barcelona, Spain with stops in Tulun, France; Genoa & Rome, Italy; Palmero, Sicily; Valetta, Malta The Ship: The MSC World Europa is a Really Large but very nice! I think it is definitely nicer than the MSC Seaside that I was on in May of this year even though the decor is similar. It is MUCH NICER than RCL’s Anthem of the Seas. Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady is still however the nicest cruise ship I have been on, there was so much for me to do plus there are No Children. I do not have children and do not travel with children so picking the itinerary over Thanksgiving I thought we would at least avoid European family holidays but alas that was not the case, more on this later. One of the Biggest negatives for me about the ship is that is not very handicap friendly. There were several times during the 8 days where I had to walk a lot more than was necessary to get to where I needed to go. Automatic doors which were sporadically accessible during the cruise, unknown why they were closed at certain times when no work was being done. As someone who is disabled and uses assistive devices to walk I was forced to use manual doors. For an able bodied person that isn’t a big deal but for someone like myself a roadblock like that can cause issues for me when trying to walk with a cup of tea or coffee. Also some of the doors to access the Buffet did not work and there were times they needed to be forced open manually, very difficult for a person in my position. This should be something that the ship needs to work on so to make sure that people wit limited mobility still have access to as much of the ship as they possibly can. The Crew aboard the World Europa are AMAZING!!! HUGE SHOUT OUT to our Steward Lauraj and Kandak our waiter for dinner. Both Gentlemen looked out for both myself and Carol like we were family. Then there was Georgia from the Excursions Department, My HERO!!! For context, our tour in Palermo, Sicily to the city of Cefalu was supposed to be 4 hours listed in the app for 9:45 AM - 13:45 PM as well as on the board behind the Excursion Desk before we departed the ship. When we got onto the bus and were leaving the port the tour guide said that the tour would be close to 7 hours, 3 more than was planned for. Again for a normal person, not a problem. However I am on a Very Strict Pain Medication schedule and was not prepared for the extra time. When I brought this up to the tour guide when we stopped we got the typical Lassie Faire Attitude that is so pervasive throughout the Southern European Continent, again more on that later. Georgia however seeing how distressed I was immediately jumped into action and called back to the ship and even calling another MSC ship in port, the MSC Poesia, to see if there was anything that could be done. Georgia got Carol and I back to port with the tour from the Poesia and I was back on the boat in the allotted time so that I didn’t turn into a Potato. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to Georgia for looking out for me. If left up to the tour guy I would have waited the entire time at the bottom of the hill. In fact I WAS left by the tour guide to sit by myself on a bench in a foreign country that I did not speak the language. There is nothing more terrifying for a person in my position to feel helpless and vulnerable in a foreign country. So Georgia, Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart! In fact a BIG THANK YOU to the MSC World Europa Excursion Team they were really Great and Accommodating. The MSC World Europa Crew is Truly Top Notch! As for the passengers. I have NEVER been around such entitled clueless people in my life! Apparently when you go on Holiday in Europe your manners also go on holiday. In Europe there is no such thing a showing someone a little common courtesy such as holding a door open, allowing you to get off the elevator before pushing past you like you don’t exist or just waling pst you all while making sure to bump into you or not give you right of way.. And its not like it is hard to see, my assistive devices are 5’ tall and I have a large Black Back Brace that I wear for support. I am beneficial because I have a BIG MOUTH and will not tolerate such rudeness. I mean seriously, let a person off the elevator before you barge in. Also I do not understand the need for people to RUN to get a table in a Buffet that just opens. People were pushing through each other like they were giving free Crack away! I mean where are the tables going? You’re on a Ship!! Stupidity has No Boarders. But I digress and will finish with this, the MSC World Europa is a wonderful cruise ship and the crew are Amazing People, they want to make sure that you enjoy your time so make sure to show them the respect they are due because I saw too many instances where crew members were treated poorly by entitled passengers. The Ports of call Tulun, Fr (Marseille), Genoa, Rome where I stayed on the ship, Sicily where I had my personal Guardian Angel Georgia to Valletta, Malta, a small slice of paradise. You can understand why the island of Malta has been conquered for 2 millennium from beyond its shores, it is absolutely stunning! And what adds to the natural beauty of the island is the Maltese people!! They have successfully integrated the cultures of their conquerers and made them their own. So Ultimately I would say our MSC World Europa cruise was a success.
