Cabin 9172 · MSC World America

Cabin 9172 is a Premium Balcony Aurea on Deck 9 of MSC World America, midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

You are 8 cabins from the midship lift bank. 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 148 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 88th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Premium Balcony Aurea grade runs 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 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.
