MSC Opera

The Kid's Club on board Opera is held in the Buffalo Bill playroom located forward of deck 11 outside the Aurea Spa.

The room, decorated with a Wild West theme including a log cabin constructed out of padded giant brown crayons made to look like wood, has a number of tables for children to sit at and play games or partake in arts and crafts activities, play areas and a TV to watch DVD’s on along with playstation consoles.

The Kid's Club, available for children aged 3-12, free of charge, is run by qualified entertainment staff who arrange activities from painting to board games and group games.

Whilst the Kid's Club is only available at certain times of the day, a programme of activities is on offer from early morning to early evening to keep children entertained.

With children’s programmes available daily from the children’s centre, activities are divided into two categories:

Mini Club, for children from 3 to 6 years
Junior Club, for children from 7 to 12 years

Whilst parents are away from the ship on excursions, the Mini Club remains open. Additionally for parents ashore or involved in activities on board the ship, the children’s supervisors will also take the youngsters to the buffet or the ship’s restaurant for children’s meals from the dedicated children’s menu.

Teenagers (age 13-17) have their own dedicated activities to keep them entertained ranging from sports and games tournaments to MTV style dance classes, trivia, live music and discos.

The ship's video arcade can be found at the port entrance to the Byblos Disco. For around €1 per game, the rooms features table football, table tennis, racing games and other arcade games.

Babysitting is not available aboard MSC ships.

MSC Teen Card allows teenagers to make small onboard purchases independently.

Available in two amounts of either €30 with a €5 free bonus or €50 with a €10 free bonus, the Teen Card enables teenagers to access refreshments and their cruise cabin. In order to purchase a card, guests need to complete the form provided during check-in and hand it in to the receptionist. The card will then be delivered directly to their cabins.

Any credit remaining on the card is non-refundable.
