Although Guppies are part of Splash Academy and hosted by the Early Years Coordinator, the program requires a parent to be in attendance. Guppies does not offer a drop off option.
The minimum age eligible for Splash Academy is 5 years old at the time of sailing, based on the child's date of birth, according to their birth certificate or passport reflected on the ships manifest.
**Refer to FAQ What do I need to know about the 10-12 year old parent sign-out authorization?
A one-time registration form is to be completed by a parent or guardian for each child/teen age 5 – 17. Children/teens can then participate as frequently as they choose. Norwegian requests that you let the Youth Staff know if your child has allergies and/or is taking any medications by noting this on the Registration Form. We will need to know this information in advance, as we sometimes provide snacks.
