Cabin 12160 · MSC World America

Cabin 12160 is a Premium Suite Aurea on Deck 12 of MSC World America, and it sits midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

It is 8 cabins along the corridor to 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.

Counting from the bow, it is the 83rd cabin position of 148 along Deck 12. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

A Premium Suite Aurea gives you 269-355 square feet. The balcony adds another 32-151 on top of that. At suite level you are buying more than square feet. Suites almost always carry priority boarding and priority disembarkation, and the higher grades on most lines add a restaurant, a lounge or a sun deck of their own. Junior and entry level suites often get none of that, so it is worth checking what this particular grade includes rather than assuming the whole list comes with the word.

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.
