TTraub1250 Posted December 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Just saw that RCL lowered " The Key" to $19.99/day/person has anyone seen it lower ? Not sure if it is worth it ... thinkin about it since it cost so much for the total trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2018 You can buy it now and cancel / reorder if you see a lower price. I believe you can cancel for a full refund up to 3 days before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted December 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2018 This program is relatively new and pricing trends have not been established. Additionally Royal’s pricing can be all over the board with no predictability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnival03 Posted December 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Do all individuals have to purchase the program? Carnival's Faster to the Fun only requires one individual in each stateroom to purchase access. Edited December 23, 2018 by carnival03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescats5 Posted December 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 23, 2018 The Key is different from Carnival's FTTF. I believe there are more benefits for the Key and it works like the drink package all cruise lines have where if one person get a drink package everyone has to because of the people who share drinks.

So what good is that.......others in your party won't have the key symbol on their sea pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one mainly gets the Key for the Flowrider for one person and don't need a two device VOOM package, no need to buy for both cabin occupants.

How about getting into shows all together? off the ship together early at the ports,embarkation lunch at Chops Grille, Priority port of call debarkation, Choice debarkation with exclusive A La Carte breakfast from 6:30 am – 9:00 am.

That's a very questionable "benefit" especially for some upper tier C&A members - if that is the main reason one buys the Key then obviously they'd buy for both.

Jimbo Posted December 23, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Going to a show without having to reserve it months ahead of time not really knowing what your schedule for dining looks like and having to plan so far ahead is a pain....Heck you may not even feel like going on the night you reserve...........This way if you feel like going to a show you can show up 10 minutes before it starts and will get a good seat...........Just walk in and be seated and not have to show up 45 minutes before the show in hopes of getting a half decent seat. This makes a vacation feel more like a vacation since everything isn't preplanned and having a schedule to keep up with. Thats a real pain!

This is exactly why I bought The Key for all of us (7 ppl, 3 cabins) for our upcoming cruise in April. The change to “no reservation required” decided it for me.
