Cabin 9202 · MSC World America

Cabin 9202 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 9 of MSC World America, and it sits aft of midship. 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are all but on top of the panoramic lift bank, about 1 cabin away. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 107th cabin position of 148 along Deck 9.

A Deluxe Balcony gives you 161-183 square feet. The balcony adds another 32-65 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 better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
