MSC Cruises' Baby Club is reserved for babies and toddlers from 0 to 36 months. As part of the Baby Club, the MSC Babycare service allows parents to book out free babysitting, subject to availability, at set times (1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on sea days).

In 2026, several major cruise lines offer dedicated, supervised programming specifically for 2-year-olds, which is a rarity as many clubs start at age 3. Carnival Cruise Line is a leader here with its "Turtles" program (part of Camp Ocean), which welcomes children from age 6 months up to 2 years. MSC Cruises also offers a "Baby Club" for ages 1 to 3, often partnered with Chicco. Royal Caribbean provides the "Royal Babies & Tots" nursery for those aged 6 to 36 months, though unlike the clubs for older children, this is typically a fee-based service rather than complimentary. Disney Cruise Line offers the "it’s a small world" nursery for toddlers under 3. In 2026, these programs are highly sought after, allowing parents of 2-year-olds some "adult time" while the children engage in age-appropriate play, though pre-booking is almost always required due to strict staff-to-toddler ratios.
