Best and worst cabins on Mein Schiff 3

Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Mein Schiff 3, worked out where each of the 1,244 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.

Mein Schiff 3 is a Blue Motion class ship, about 99,526 gross tons, carrying around 2,500 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2014. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 3 to deck 14. The deck plan legend colours them as 955 balcony, 123 interior, 88 ocean view, 76 suite.

On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is 3068 on deck 3 (Ocean view), and the one that should move most is 14009 on deck 14 (Suite). Every other cabin on Mein Schiff 3 falls between the two.

How this is worked out, and what it does not cover

A ship pivots about a point amidships and low down. The further a cabin sits from that point, the more it moves in a swell. So the ranking below is distance from amidships, weighted with height above the waterline. It is a position measurement, not a review.

What we are not claiming. We have not mapped the bars, clubs and galleys on this ship, so nothing here is a noise rating. A steady cabin under a nightclub is still a cabin under a nightclub.

The cabins that move most

High up and close to an end. Fine for most people, worth avoiding if you are not.
