cruising with 8 yr and 5 yr old

[lukesmom]

Does anyone know which cruise line has a kids club where they would be together in the same room?

where and when are you looking at cruising? How mature is the 5 y/o?

I doubt it...most 8 year olds would be bored to tears with a bunch of 5 year old and their activities.

Sorry from what I can tell and remember, none of the kids club groups have the 8 year olds with the 5 year olds. It is usually 3-5, 6-8, etc or 3-7, 8-12, etc. It would depend on the staff on whether they would allow your 5 year old to join the 6-8 group (some cruises are strict with the age groupings) else it may be easier for your 8 year old to join the 3-7 group (not quite ideal). However from past experience, don't worry about it. I used to try to get my kids into the same group (2 years apart) but when it didn't work out, they still had a good time and sometimes the groups did things together. The groups are generally in the same vicinity anyways.
