2018 Sea Tales Family Cruise Travel Planner

Entertainment is fairly traditional, with music ranging from classical to jazz, as well as Vegas-style revues and Cirque du Soleil extravaganzas. While MSC ticket prices are often at bargain levels, passengers may be disconcerted by the number of “extras” that carry a price tag; for example, shuttles from port into town and room service other than breakfast. MSC Cruises cater mostly to couples and families; in Europe the ships attract European passengers. Caribbean cruises are geared to North American travelers. The “kids sail free” deals attract lots of families with youngsters during school holidays. The longer cruises that sail more exotic itineraries appeal to more mature travelers. These cruises are best for budget-conscious couples and families (children under seventeen and sharing a cabin with two adults sail free on all MSC trips), and travelers who desire a traditional cruise experience on a large resort-style ship with an Italian flair. Destinations Mediterranean Northern Europe Caribbean & Antilles Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sir Bani Yas South America South Africa Grand and World Voyages Minimum Age Infants must be twelve months old at the time of sailing. Babysitting

MSC Cruises offers limited babysitting on board. In the Mini Club infants are looked after by qualified and dedicated staff who will let them play. The MSC Babycare service is available while the ship is sailing and while parents disembark for an excursion. Please inform the onboard activity coordinators at least one day in advance to utilize this service. Available at the following times while ship is at sea; between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm & between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Pregnancy Policy

Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. MSC Cruises cannot for safety reasons carry pregnant passengers who have reached twenty-four weeks by the end of the cruise. MSC Cruises reserves the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse passage if they are not satisfied that the passenger will be safe during the trip. Children’s Programs Infants and Toddlers (0–3 years) There are no formal programs for children under three. Children three and under can access the kid’s club during “MSC Baby Time.” A parent/legal guardian must be present.

Policies subject to change without notice, always check with your travel agent regarding pregnancy policies and children age policies prior to booking your cruise.
