Live from World Europa

[kernow]

That gin menu looks great, I wouldn't know which to choose first.

 

Looking at your balcony pic I don't think it's much different than the ones on Virtuosa.

Wow, these prices are pretty high. I guess the Dining Experience cannot be used with Diamond/Black. 

 

Great to finally know the Dammam procedure in black and white. So I guess it is best to prepare absolutely nothing and then book the 22 USD visa when getting the letter above. 

We were told yesterday that Diamonds could dine in BC, Hola or the Sushi.

Any chance of getting some pics of the Gin bars' menu?

The gin project is above the pub with its own micro brewery

Thanks, so as expected. 

 

I am pretty sure this Garden Kitchen will be dead empty when the ship sails in Europe. The only clientele that would pay that prices "lives" in the YC and also will not go there.

more curves than Gina Lollobrigida!

I’m so glad that you are sharing your experience. My family is booked for the Med from Barcelona. Is there a crystal staircase outside of the yacht club?

Not that I have seen

We cannot find a men’s shaver socket in the bathroom 🤷‍♀️

There is a retractable clothes line in the shower.

I noticed on other ships, there was a NA 120v GFCI socket near the ceiling in the bathroom.

Regarding the €3 price for tonic, is that if you just want tonic? Or do you have to add it to the price of the gin for a G&T?

Looking forward to your thoughts on World Europa and thank you for taking the time to post live from your holiday. She looks stunning in the pictures you have shared so far. I have booked on WE for November this year albeit not in YC (although would consider a bid if invited). Do you have a feeling for how full the sailing is?

6200 apparently. I’d say at least 1/3 are Russian if not more.

Wow, closer to capacity than I would have thought. Be interested to see how that 'feels' - albeit you have the insulation of the YC. 

 

Largest I have been on has held c. 4500 so quite a difference.

Today we are in Abu Dhabi. 
Initial plans were for DH to go to the golf ⛳️ tournament but an abundance of alcohol last night (hic!) delayed things this morning… so we took it easy. 
Caught a Careem ( like an Uber) to the Louvre where there is an amazing temporary exhibition of impressionist art 🖼️ from the Louvre in Paris. 
Watched the sunset from the very trendy rooftop bar ( Art Lounge) then Careem back to the ship.

Tonight’s show was Ultimate 🕺 Disco in the Panorama Lounge. Excellent tiered space with good seating, and use of the glass windows for projections… and real live musicians - don’t sit in the last row as you won’t be able to see the aerial artists!

The YC1 balcony is very narrow- only 2 chairs, no loungers or even a table. Disappointing 

Here's a virtual representation of the Premium Deluxe Aurea Suite I booked for World Europa later this year.  

Doesn't come with the YC perks, and there's a lack of privacy due to facing the promenade (ocean view to the side), but seems like a lot more room.  Click on the bedroom door to enter the bedroom.

Panorama lounge looks like it was inspired by 270?

Yes indeed… even down to the projections on the back windows during the shows!

You can get gin up to €13 and the tonic is included . Just having one now….! Can recommend the BUSS 509!
