Cabin 12175 · MSC World America

Cabin 12175 is a Premium Suite Aurea on Deck 12 of MSC World America, aft of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are all but on top of the midship lift bank, about 0 cabins away. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 92nd cabin position of 148 along Deck 12.

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 steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers, travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
