Tips for a happy cruising holiday with your little ones
Playing in a Protected Area
Mum and dad, we’re waiting for you and your little one at the Baby Club, specially designed for our youngest guests (under 3 years old). It’s a perfect place for them to play with you and other children their age from all around the world.
In the meantime, you can make friends with other parents holidaying with their children. You can enjoy the Mini Club, a dedicated facility for young children, with your child at specific times according to the ship.
MSC has thought about mums and dads too, offering you the opportunity to drop your children off at the Baby Club where they will be looked after by qualified and dedicated staff who will let them play.
Subject to prior booking, limited availability, for children between 1 and 3 years old (not inclusive).
Available exclusively when the ship is sailing for 6 hours a day.
Completion of a registration form is required. Ask the Kids Club staff once you’re on board.
You’ll find the most modern, fun and educational toys, chosen for you by the Osservatorio Chicco, Baby Research Center. Activities include:
Let’s speak English: let’s play with Chicco bilingual toys
Rhythm and music: playing with music is such fun
Mini Olympic Games: start by crawling and then...
Meet our mascot Dorebaby
New Tasty Delights
For older children, you’ll find a wide selection of dishes on the “Children’s Menu” to help your child learn to explore tastes, flavours and colours like a real “baby gourmet”. Varied and colourful menus, with a special selection of healthy and tasty dishes to keep our youngest guests happy. Every day, the smell of fresh bread baked in our on-board bakery will waft past you.
PIZZA ANYONE?
You’ll find the best pizza at sea, cooked to perfection with top quality ingredients! All together at the table, enjoying the happiness that food brings and with no time limits, as the Buffet is open 20 hours a day.
Bottle warmers are available in specific places on all our ships: contact Reception – Guest Service for information once you’re on board.
If your baby is being weaned, all you need to bring is your child’s favourite baby food. Pasta soup, chicken breast and thin grilled steak, ham, cheese and desserts are available in the restaurant every day.
Cooking is fun as well: Baby Chef, for 2-to-3-year olds. A dedicated area for them to get messy in the kitchen during the highly successful Doremi Chef event.
Just think: supervised by the Chef and their parents, the kids will prepare a tasty pizza! Doesn’t that sound great?
Naps and Cuddles
Being able to sleep in a cot beside peaceful and relaxed parents helps children remain calm, because they can sense their comforting presence and surrender to sleep more easily.
