Cabin 10111 · MSC World America

Cabin 10111 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 10 of MSC World America, forward of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the forward port lift bank, and that is 16 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 166 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 58th from forward.

The Deluxe Balcony grade runs 161-183 square feet. The balcony adds another 32-65 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
