Cabin 16110 · MSC World America

Cabin 16110 is a Deluxe Balcony with partial view on Deck 16 of MSC World America, and it sits midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

La Plage sits two decks up, roughly 2 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 164 cabin positions on Deck 16, this is the 71st from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,615 cabins on board and steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
