MSC Cruises Announce New Features For Children On Board

MSC Cruises is introducing three new options into their on board kids programme, allowing children to also have the best experience whilst at sea.

Happy Dinners

First of all, MSC Cruises’ has dreamed up the perfect recipe for a great family meal. Mums and dads love eating with their children, and children love eating with mum and dad, but it’s no secret that children don’t like being seated for hours and that adults want to take their time over dinner. Now MSC Happy Dinners is here to offer families the best of both worlds!

Children are served their own dinner from the kids’ menu while parents are enjoying their opening courses, so everyone still dines together as a family.

However, when the children have finished at their usual enthusiastic speed, they no longer have to wait patiently for mum and dad to finish. With MSC Happy Dinners, the children are picked up by specialized kids’ club staff when they’ve finished and are then free to have fun with friends their own age, leaving parents to leisurely savour their different courses and wine and to thoroughly enjoy the rest of their dinner.

Fun Time Dinner

For kids who relish their independence and would love the freedom of eating with their friends, away from the grown-ups and their dull conversations, MSC Fun Time Dinners may prove even more tempting. With MSC Fun Time Dinners, children dine in a separate, specially decorated area of the buffet restaurant with the entertainment team, and then have fun in the Mini and Junior Club while parents enjoy a leisurely dinner alone, picking up the kids when they’ve finished.

Every single night of the week, children aged between three and 11 can eat together with the entertainment team and their new friends. Three of these nights are theme parties - a Welcome Party, Italian Party, and Farewell and Birthday Party - while the remaining four MSC Fun Time Dinners are just what they say- fun from start to finish!

Both the MSC Happy Dinners and the MSC Fun Time Dinner services are now available free of charge on all MSC ships. Dedicated to children aged from 3 to 11, parents simply need to register their children in advance with the Mini or Junior Club and fill in the special ‘dinner coupons’ with their details.

Extra Nanny Hour

And that’s not all! MSC Cruises has also introduced a second nanny-hour to its kids’ club programmes. Every morning from 09.00 to 10.00 and now also from 17.00 – 18.00, MSC offers a special programme designed for babies and toddlers aged 10 to 36 months to spend quality time with their parents with the support of MSC kids’ club staff. Staff organize dedicated games and activities aimed specifically at MSC’s youngest guests and their parents, including playing with bricks, musical games, baby disco, puzzle games and drawing.

Mums, dads and, most importantly, the kids, will be smiling all day long with Happy Dinners, Fun Time Dinners, nanny-hour and the amazing range of activities tailor-made for families on board the MSC fleet.
