Cabin 14282 · MSC World America

Cabin 14282 is a Deluxe Balcony with partial view on Deck 14 of MSC World America. You are well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 2 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

Nothing sits close by: it is 10 cabins to the aft starboard lift bank, the nearest thing of its kind. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 187th cabin position of 191 along Deck 14.

A Deluxe Balcony with partial view gives you 172-205 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 livelier in a swell than most of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
