Cabin 16179 · MSC World America

Cabin 16179 is a Deluxe Balcony with partial view on Deck 16 of MSC World America, and it sits aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Il Mercato Buffet (port) is two decks up, about 1 cabin along 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, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 119th cabin position of 164 along Deck 16.

A Deluxe Balcony with partial view gives you 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 better placed for getting around than 82 per cent of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
