We have gone on 2 cruises with our 4 kids, we were in 1 cabin and the kids were in the other, For cost reason's They were across the hall from us. It workes out great both times. If it really worries you get connecting cabins and leave the door open. Also you could get 2 balconys and have them take the wall down. We set up rules as to when they had to be where and when. It was a blast for us and the kids.
