Cabin 16509 · MSC World America

Cabin 16509 is a Deluxe Interior on Deck 16 of MSC World America. You are far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the forward port lift bank, and that is 14 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 164 cabin positions on Deck 16, this is the 14th from forward.

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.

It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
