Cabin 10147 · MSC World America

Cabin 10147 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 10 of MSC World America. You are midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

The nearest is the midship lift bank, and that is 12 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 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 166 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 83rd from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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 as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
