Are the youth restrictions on the Carnival cruises strict?
I’m going on a Carnival cruise in November and I’m 14 but in high school. I don’t want to be in Circle C. I was wondering if it was hard to sneak in the Club 02 group. I am quite mature for my age and don’t want to hang out with 11-14. So I was wondering is it difficult to sneak in or would I be able to. Thanx!
I am sure you are mature for your age, but the cruise lines have programs set up for your specific age group. There is nothing wrong with Circle C. The club has fun activities. Below is a brief summary.
Circle "C" (ages 12-14)
Circle "C" is the ultimate Teen Program for kids ages 12 to 14 years old. Cool activities, awesome facilities and lots of rad new friends to add to their e-mail lists. Now young teens have a place of their own to connect with friends or simply chill. Circle "C" is the place to be for parties, games and other supervised activities created just for them (think dance parties, movies and more).
Teens must be registered with Circle "C" in order to participate in the activities, but it’s up to them how many — or few — they choose to attend. Teens can come and go as they want, with activities running until the early morning hours. For teens that love to dance, Carnival has great news. Every night aboard a Carnival cruise our 12- to 14- year-old guests will have the opportunity to "mix and mingle" at the shipboard dance club to the latest hits. Some ships feature a Circle "C" Lounge, where movies, music videos, a touch-screen jukebox and gaming pods are available.
Activities for Circle "C" may include:
The latest game consoles
Talent Show
Dance Parties
Late Night Teen Hang and Late Night Movies
Video Arcade Tournament
Scavenger Hunts
Karaoke
Freaky Food Fear Factor
Camp Carnival Survivor Challenge
Make Your Own Pizza
Game Boys
ExerSeas Activities – Including games like Dodgeball, Basket Ball and Mini Golf
Sea Notes – Including games & activities like Name that Tune, Teen Idol and Musical Jeopardy
Water Color Activities – Including activities like Mono-Printing, The Great Art Robbery and Decoupage Boxes
Spin Art, Sand Art and Candy Art
T-Shirt Decorating
Carnival Twister Waterslide Races

Don’t try and sneak in. What you can do is ask. Either way, they will know exactly how old you are.
Just realize, they don’t want to make too many exceptions.

All the kids seem to say that they are "mature for their ages". Yeah, right. Certainly there may be a few, but not nearly enough to convince Carnival to change the rules and make exceptions. The cruise staff do make a sincere effort to ensure that only those old enough to enter a particular club do so, and you should not be surprised if they say NO to you.
As to hanging out with younger kids, you don’t have to do that. Make friends with the other kids your age, and then go to the pool and meet the kids who are a bit older.
