Cabin 11249 · MSC World America

Cabin 11249 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 11 of MSC World America, well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 5 cabins along the corridor to the aft port lift bank. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 129th cabin position of 153 along Deck 11.

A Deluxe Balcony gives you 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.

It suits light sleepers.
