Does the cruise line have babysitting or activities for kids under age 3?

Most major cruise lines offer some form of supervised care for young children, but the details vary a lot by line and ship:

  • Nurseries for babies and toddlers (usually from about 6 months to 3 years) are available on Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC, Cunard, and select Norwegian ships, among others. Most charge an hourly fee and require reservations, which fill up quickly.
  • Late-night group babysitting for kids roughly 3 to 12 is offered by most family-friendly lines, typically after the regular kids club closes, for an hourly fee per child. Many require kids to be potty trained.
  • In-cabin babysitting is rare. Most lines don’t offer it at all.

Hours, ages, and prices change from ship to ship and year to year, so check with the cruise line for your specific sailing, or call us at 866-964-5482 and we’ll find out for you.
