hey everybody welcome back it's Haley with haly with flare.com I'm the owner and writer of this blog and I co-own the travel agency travel with the flare with my husband and today we are bringing you another five things I love and hate but today we are talking about the msse world Europa if you are new here don't forget to like And subscribe to my channel and even hit that Bell so that you are notified whenever we post a new video I just recently sailed on the MC World Europa in Europe over Easter break with my daughter and our friends and their kids and I am here to tell you the five things we hated and we loved now we all know that MSE kind of has this like up and down relationship with a lot of people and I am going to be posting a video on how MC was actually a bit different in Europe than I found here in the Caribbean because I had done them once in the Caribbean technically Bahamas and I was not the biggest fan it wasn't the worst experience but you know there's so many choices out there um that I didn't think my path would cross back here um then this sailing came up and it was a great price and it was actually so cheap in comparison to doing us-based or cariban base trips during this time and it gave us another opportunity to head back to Europe so figured why not so like always we are going to start with the quote unquote worst first so let's get started all right one of the most annoying and crazy things that we did not like on the MSE World Europa was the elevators they do the call system where you you go over to the screen you tap your floor and it says go to elevator A B C D or F I would say a good majority of our sailing this was extremely timec consuming we were up on a really high Deck with our rooms so to come down to the main areas or go back up to our room especially on Port days because you know in Europe there's different people getting on the ships at different ports it's not just everybody gets on in Barcelona um it really clogged up the elevators and it took quite a bit of time so that really wasn't our favorite thing number two the lack of variety of food in the buffet now we had some picky eaters with us um since we had since an intensive uh itinerary we didn't do a lot of sit down traditional sitdown dining um so we did a bit more Buffet which is not typically usual for us and um what we had in the buffet was very good most nights actually probably better than our first MSC sailing it definit didn't have the variety that a lot of other lines have number three now this is for those of you that need the extension cord for like a CPAP or something like that uh msse actually does a $30 deposit you just can't request it apparently they get stolen a lot on MSE ships I'm guessing which is why they have this policy um you do get your money back after but it was just kind of a little Annoying not a deal breaker you guys know I say that a lot but um it was something that was just a little Annoying to get set up and when we got to the room it definitely wasn't in there so we had to wait um a good while for that to come in and get set up number four we're going to talk room service fees and the food overall for how much they charge for their room service and the general food that's on that menu it is not good is expensive and it's expensive for not great food I will say when you order the pizza through room service that is extra but it's great um but overall we found we tried a variety of different things because again very poor intensive itinerary um it just it wasn't great it definitely wasn't worth it I guess if you're in like a yacht club Suite where you know your room service is included maybe that's not as big of a deal breaker but it definitely was not a cost and value um equal situation for us number five would be the sitdown service we did do the steakhouse one night we did do Mexican at one point and the service although it was great people were very kind it was very slow like the steakhouse we were there well over 2 and 1/2 hours and that is just a a long a long night and I know that like my ADHD kicks in when it starts getting that long um the food was great at both those venues really good actually I was much better than I was surpr I was very surprised as the gist of it but um it just it definitely took way too long now if you were able to catch me on a live I was very pleasantly surprised by the world Europa it is a stunning ship and I liked it a lot better than I thought I was so let's get started with the things that we loved about the MSC World Europa number one is the thermal Spa so we were in a premium Arya Suite which meant we had access to the thermal Spa included in our room and this is probably the best thermal Suite on the ship I would say the only thing that I wish I could have switched is the Enchanted princess if you watched on my channel has like this rainfall and their pool that's in the middle of their thermal suite and I liked that a little better and it was a little deeper this thermal Spa had so many different things number two is the te- room the Ralph Polo Tea Room on board is just incredible I ended up spending a lot of time in there I worked in there a little bit the afternoon tea service is fantastic they have afternoon tea starting for around $10 per person and it is worth every cent you get well enough food the tea option and varieties are great we just loved this venue three this is going to tee into that but the variety of bar venues you know same line as having a t- room there was a gin bar there was a pub on board that actually brewed its own beer um the pizza burger venue I know that's not a bar but like there was just some really great themed um venues on this ship the coffee shop on the I always want to call it the boardwalk but on the back of the ship that has the different coffee smelling tastings it's it's truly incredible they did a really great job with venues on this ship number four is the rooms so we had two premium ARA Suites for the adults side by side and then the girls shared an interior room and I will tell you that interior room and our rooms those are some of the most well-appointed stateroom cabins I've seen on any Cruise Line I've set um from the setting out you know even the mat on the beds on embarcation day so you're not getting dirt on your beds the amount of storage the spacing we were really pleasantly surprised like we had more storage than we even knew what to do with in our room like even if we had Olivia and my daughter in there we still would have had some storage left like if you go look at the room tour like our room had a king bed a sleeper bed and bunk beds so you could sleep six in that room which is very uncommon for a cruise room category but um these rooms were just was truly incredible the balconies were great they open up loved them number five is the ship layout we really really loved the way that this ship was laid out like throughout their um main Galleria area in the middle of the ship there were different small entertainment venue um entertainment sessions going on it wasn't too loud I've been on other ships like the celebrity Apex where that Central Area is just so loud and deafening um but the variety of restaurants the shops the bars the t-o um was really incredible I this is probably one of the best laid out chips I've ever been on I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you have any questions on that please let me know down below don't forget to like And subscribe and we'll see you on the next one
