Cabin 11224 · MSC World America

Cabin 11224 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 11 of MSC World America, and it sits well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the aft starboard lift bank, and that is 11 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 153 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 119th 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 as quiet as anything on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
