Cabin 11163 · MSC World America

Cabin 11163 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 11 of MSC World America. You are midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

You are 8 cabins from the midship lift bank. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 153 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 82nd 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 quiet as anything on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
