Cabin 16118 · MSC World America

Cabin 16118 is a Deluxe Interior on Deck 16 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.

La Plage sits two decks up, roughly 1 cabin 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 scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 164 cabin positions on Deck 16, this is the 76th 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 Interior grade runs 151-183 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,615 cabins on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
