Cabin 21510 · MSC World America

Cabin 21510 is a Deluxe Interior on Deck 21 of MSC World America, and it sits far forward. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 4 cabins along the corridor to the forward starboard lift bank. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Quiet scores 4 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 12th cabin position of 17 along Deck 21. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 21 also has MSC Yacht Club Sundeck + Bar, MSC Yacht Club Grill + Bar and MSC Yacht Club Lanai on it. There are 29 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

A Deluxe Interior gives you 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 better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
