Cabin 5022 · MSC World America

Cabin 5022 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 5 of MSC World America, and it sits 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. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 6 cabins along the corridor to Passenger Embarkation (fwd starboard). Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 12th cabin position of 48 along Deck 5. Deck 5 also has Anchor + bow thrusters, Passenger Embarkation (fwd port), Passenger Embarkation (fwd starboard) and MSC Luna Park Arena on it. There are 67 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

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