Tapster Posted June 14, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Camp Carnival says that it has two separate groups for ages 2-5 and 6-8. My girls are 4 and 6 - are they able to both go into the same group, either the older group or the younger group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted June 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The 6 year old MIGHT be allowed to go down to the younger group, but the 4 year old will definitely not be allowed in the older group. This will be at the discretion of the director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It's not like they won't be able to see each other at times...and they won't be in there 24/7! The activities are geared to the age of the child.....if you combine them, one of them would be bored to tears. Let them go to the appropriate group for maximum fun!

sherryf Posted June 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have only one experience with Camp Carnival, and that was back in 2001 in Alaska. My kids were 2, 5 and 8, and their cousins who were on the cruise with us were 3 and 6. They were in separate groups, but since there weren't a lot of kids on the ship, they did sometimes combine the groups and they were all together.

Tapster Posted June 16, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted June 16, 2013 It's more that I think the four year old will be anxious without her sister. My six year old has no probs going into an environment with no one she knows but my four year old not so much.

VPMJ Posted June 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2013 My kids were 5 & 7 last year on the Dream, and they said no. But the groups were combined sometimes, especially at night. Sent from my KFJWI using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinycesa07 Posted June 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I just wanted to add that when we sailed on the pride last month, the 2 younger groups were combined very often. There weren't many kids sailing so that may be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted June 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Not to be snarky, but this cruise will be a good time to give them separate time, playing with their own age groups. Unless you live in an area where there's an one-room schoolroom, your four-year-old will be going to kindergarten next year (or the year after, depending on the age deadlines for your district), and this may be the best thing for daughters (both of them).

cello56 Posted June 17, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 17, 2013 While your 4 year old would enjoy being with her 6 year old sister, I doubt that many of the 8 year olds would enjoying having a 4 year old in their group. After all, she will be two years younger then the youngest participant. Developmentally that is a LOT younger. Everyone else will likely be able to read and follow directions fairly well. Going the other direction might work, but again, there very well might be parents who object to having a child that is six together with their two year old. Best to let them be where they are supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the 6 year old would be happy hanging out with 2 year olds anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
