Cabin 9152 · MSC World America

Cabin 9152 is a Premium Balcony Aurea on Deck 9 of MSC World America, midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan The Loft Comedy + Live Music is on the deck below, about 1 cabin along 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 scores 4 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 78th cabin position of 148 along Deck 9. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

A Premium Balcony Aurea gives you 183 square feet. The balcony adds another 172 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,615 cabins on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
