Cabin 5024 · MSC World America

Cabin 5024 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 5 of MSC World America, 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. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 5 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 13th 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.
