Cabin 5011 · MSC World America

Cabin 5011 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 5 of MSC World America. You are far forward. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. 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.

World Theatre (main level) sits on the deck above, roughly 2 cabins 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 comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 48 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 6th from forward. You share Deck 5 with Anchor + bow thrusters, Passenger Embarkation (fwd port), Passenger Embarkation (fwd starboard) and MSC Luna Park Arena. There are 67 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

The Deluxe Ocean View grade runs 172-183 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,615 cabins on board. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
