Cabin 5023 · MSC World America

Cabin 5023 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 5 of MSC World America, far forward. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are 8 cabins from Passenger Embarkation (fwd port). 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 48 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 12th from forward. You share Deck 5 with Anchor + bow thrusters, Passenger Embarkation (fwd port), Passenger Embarkation (fwd starboard) and MSC Luna Park Arena. There are 67 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

The Deluxe Ocean View grade runs 172-183 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

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.
