Cabin 16542 · MSC World America

Cabin 16542 is a Deluxe Interior on Deck 16 of MSC World America, 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.

The nearest is the midship lift bank, and that is 11 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 7 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 86th 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 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.
