On World Europa, does the window open on the infinite ocean view cabins?...

[Stockjock]

I know that they do on Celebrity, but not so sure about MSC's version.

Anyone know?

Yes, they open.

I’m glad MSC isn’t trying to sell this as a balcony/veranda.

Actually, they're selling them at same rate as a Bella (guarantee) promenade balcony/veranda... And; TBHH; 1000x one of those infinite cabins than a promenade balcony. Promenade view cabins are not more than glorified insides, IMHO, so, if I needed to choose, the choice would to be obvious!... The way MSC is doing this is far better and far away from what X is doing.

The highest priced cabin in a category being the same as the lowest guarantee in the category above is quite normal.

Sure! The problem is that the highest priced cabin on this particular category is far, but far better and far away from the lower priced cabin on the next one! One thing is comparing a premium small window cabin with even an obstructed view balcony. Another thing is to compare a broad sea view big cabin with an enclosed view smaller one. To each their own, but those infinite cabins are on a new league of themselves, unless the market is not receiving them that well.

All of those cabins are sold on the Genoa repo including the Aurea cabins.

With the Portuguese version of MSC's website "abandoned" by the most part, I rely on some reliable Portuguese, or Portuguese language TA websites, and for the most part: The repo cruise seems sold out at any category as well as Christmas, New Year, Carnival week and Easter week 2023 all of them sold out, plus a few more on summer 2023. The WE is set to be a success, at least at peak season. There are some wonderful deals currently for things like early December 2023 though.

Final payment date could well free up many cabins as it does on the other cruises, the Ireland website it seems is in a similar situation to the Portuguese one in being neglected by MSC.

For anyone interested in seeing just how much of a joke the Ireland site is, here’s a link.

We can’t even access cruise fares, which means having to contact MSC or a TA, which is fine if you have a specific cruise in mind, but not practicable for general cruise fare searches.  There’s no point in even looking at other countries’ sites as fares (and promotions) differ across the regions. 
 

Back on topic, I think that the MSC infinity cabins are much more appealing than Celebrity’s (who did try to market them as balcony cabins, unlike MSC, as another poster has already pointed out).
