Cabin 5065 · MSC World America

Cabin 5065 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 5 of MSC World America, forward of midship. 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. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Nothing sits close by: it is 12 cabins to Passenger Embarkation (mid port), the nearest thing of its kind. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 35th 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 steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
