FastN.Curious Posted January 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hello! I understand that in room babysitting is available for guests who book the Retreat rooms, which we are. I haven't been able to find any reviews of actual parents who have used this service. Celebrity said you can book 24hrs in advance for babysitting service. For the parents who have used this service was this the case? And what was it like? Do they actually read to your child and put them to sleep? Or would you have to make sure your child was already in bed when the babysitter comes? My little one is 3 years old - will almost by 4 by the time we cruise in the Fall. Thanks in advance!

rM3panno Posted January 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2023 This would be the first I heard of it since Covid. Previous to Covid it was available to all rooms at a rate of $19/hr. We had used it and then they limited to suites which we usually sail in and the process was the same. You have to request in advance because they typically find 2 staff members, sometimes an officer who will be in the room at all times with your child(children). These staff members take these opportunities for the extra pay which is why you have to request in advance also, they can’t always find 2 available and willing individuals. As far as what they do with your children that is up to you and them. They will read to them, play with them, let them watch tv, can take them to leave the room if you give them permission. Our sons (3.5 and 7) now live to go to the kids club but our experience with in room babysitting was always great. They always appreciate a tip as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
