The Key - Med/Italy/Greek Isles - Worth it?

[BNBR]

I have a Med cruise coming up and The Key is only $19.99/day.  We always get the surf + stream internet and see value in Chops embarkation lunch.  So it's not much more.  What I'm really curious about is if anyone here has done a port intensive Med cruise and found The Key to be valuable with priority disembarkation?  Do you also get priority tender in Santorini?  We have lots of private tours and I think it would be nice to get off before the crowds (is there a crowd to get off at these ports?).  Would appreciate any first hand experience with The Key on this itinerary.

Priority tendering, particularly BACK to the ship could be considered "invaluable", said a person (me) who waited in line a VERY long time for a tender back.

Does The Key include priority back to the ship?  I thought it was only for disembarkation, but no experience with it.  The priority tender back to the ship was the best part of The Haven with NCL 🙂

Have not heard anyone report that Key will buy you anything on the way back to the ship.

Well, it did on my cruise.  Staff were going up and down the line, asking for Key holders, and when they found one, <swish> to the front of the line.

It's the cable car down from Fira that has the large line and it doesn't matter if you have tickets or the Key you take your turn.

We always do suites our Europe 12 day cruise only had two tenders and there were no issues getting on them on our cruise.
