Orsino Posted December 31, 2018 #426 Share Posted December 31, 2018 We decided to try The Key for our next cruise mainly for FlowRider and show seating. We were going to get an internet package, so it works for us in that respect too. Question: Should our set sail pass show anything regarding The Key on it?

Using the key perk at the flowrider is going to be a big draw to actually do it..so if only 40 show up in that limited hour to take "their" advantage... it will be fun👍😁 They do sell a lot more than 100 keys... that information was wrong from the beginning! 🙄 Edited January 1, 2019 by Thorben-Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I have read says 100. Even the Royal blog. I am sure you have some information to back this up🧐🧐🧐 And working on the same equation that you are using say 40 people turning up out of say 200... a fifth. Now let’s use your equation for the Approx 5000 passengers less a fifth is 1000 passengers turning up. I also see this as ridiculous. Yea I am sure all 100 or 200 key passengers that have bought the Key will just buy it for the flowrider and will use the hour allocated everyday.😂😂😂 It does seem to me most of the people complaining are diamond members or similar. Are they scared someone is in their turf😂😂😂😎😎😎😎 i understand some people have paid a fortune for their rite of passage diamond/pinnacles but if some people want to pay for something extra.. why the hell not. We do this in everything else in life. Health care, flights, trains, theaters even the food we eat. Everyone has a choice on the price bracket they can afford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far there is no reliable information how many keys are sold.... and we all know RCI will sell as many as they can... Your math is totally useless as many will buy the key to USE the perks they paid extra for... People behave totally different when they paid for stuff...!

Just read your previous post to verify.👍👍👍👍 The Royal blog is not the only travel site in the entire world that is talking about “The Key program” other travel sites are also stating 100 key are to be sold. And yes I have read Twangsters review. Page one of this thread. A few travel sites have stated there distrust, much like your own saying they could up the 100 but so far it is to soon to tell.

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted January 1, 2019 #437 Share Posted January 1, 2019 just as an FYI, I did see reference to a 100 key limit on the RCI blog... it’s about a quarter of the way through here : https://www.*****.com/category/category/the-key 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reading the report it referred to information given to travel agents from Royal. I am not saying that 100 tickets will only be sold in the future but information currently suggests it is. So far it is only Chinese wispers saying otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted January 1, 2019 #443 Share Posted January 1, 2019 We have purchased the Key but not for the flow rider. My husband may try it but I know my knees will say no. If that is the main thing I wanted I would just get a season pass to Schliterbahn and ride the same thing all day every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you send a link to we’re it says no limit or 200 tickets etc.🧐🧐🧐🧐 i can only find were it refers to 100. And a lot of people who “Think” it could be more.

Mushroomgav69 Posted January 1, 2019 #445 Share Posted January 1, 2019 At the end of the day I would rather be at the end of a 100/200 person line than a 5000 person line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a travel agent (with a very large agency) and we have not received any information from Royal about this program. i don’t have a link one way or the other, all I am saying is that I have not seen anything official stating that it is a certain number whether that is 100 or something different.

Pratique Posted January 1, 2019 #447 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The evidence for saying it's 100 is so thin as to be useless for this discussion. The Key is still showing on the cruise planner for my Symphony cruise 12 days from now. On a ship with 6000+ guests. So either it's selling very poorly or the cap, if any, is much higher than 100. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said you are from a very large agency I would have thought you would have received information on something that has been running for months. As from a large agency I would have thought you would have all the up to date information. i would have thought large agencies would be given this information so they could on sell it to their customers.

So many people I think are pissed off that someone “god forbid” is going to end up with better service than themselves even if that person pays for that privilege. There is not one thing that will make me buy it. It is most of it. Priority embarkation, priority debarkation. Getting priority on tenders or at ports. Saved seating for the shows. Not having to make bookings for shows. i am going on Ovation and I am still unsure if many of the other things available on board will also be included. Dodgem cars, shows at 270 etc. For half the price I am paying I would be already spending on internet so the other half by getting better service is worth the price. if you are a pinacle or suite guest you would be already getting these services and a few more. It would not be worth paying for something you are already getting or is it that they wish we would go back to the oars and not bother them in their ivory towers.

It been For sale for just under 2 months, it’s only been a couple weeks since the first reported sailing. It is only in the testing phase right now. I would not expect to receive information until they have all the details finalized. Could you imagine the confusion on sending out all the information now and then making a few changes to it later and having to make sure all the agents know about the changes.
