Cabin 5071 · MSC World America

Cabin 5071 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 5 of MSC World America. You are 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. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is Passenger Embarkation (mid port), and that is 9 cabins away down the corridor. 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, 6 out of 10.

Of the 48 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 40th 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 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.
