Cabin 9209 · MSC World America

Cabin 9209 is a Deluxe Balcony on Deck 9 of MSC World America, and it sits aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are 8 cabins from the panoramic 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, 7 out of 10.

Of the 148 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 114th from forward.

The Deluxe Balcony grade runs 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 82 per cent of them. 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.
