General tips for any ship
- For the least motion, choose a cabin low and in the middle of the ship (midship), near the central elevators.
- For quiet, avoid cabins directly under the pool deck, buffet, theater or nightclub, and right beside the elevators or service areas.
- Cabins at the very front feel the most pitching in rough seas; cabins at the very back can feel some vibration from the engines.
- Some balcony cabins have partly blocked views (lifeboats, for example); the deck plan marks them, so check before you book.
For the exact layout, see the official deck plan for MSC Musica on MSC Cruises's website ↗.
