MSC Cruises is offering new children's dining options that allow for romantic dinners between parents with trained supervision over their children. Children are served from a separate kids' menu, and when they finish their meal they are taken to specialized play areas by staff members of MSC Cruises' Kid's Club. Also available are Fun Time Dinners, available for children ages 3-11, where children dine in a seperate area from their parents with the line's entertainment team. These changes to the children's dining options are a great touch for parents looking to take advantage of the new heritage cruises being offered by the line this fall.
