Cabin 12231 · MSC World America

Cabin 12231 is a Deluxe Balcony with partial view on Deck 12 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 port lift bank, and that is 9 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 148 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 119th from forward.

The Deluxe Balcony with partial view grade runs 172-205 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.
