back-at-it Posted July 2, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I was looking at the KEY option for our first Royal cruise coming up in DEC. $25.99 a day, is it worth it? Who has purchased it and would you do it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare psternklar Posted July 2, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2021 There have been many discussions about this. Many think it is not worth it. I have found it worth it (when on sale) as I really do not like lines. It was also nice to drop my carry-on off on boarding. Really it depends on what is important to you. To answer your question, yes I would purchase again. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is $25.99 PP PD, everyone over age 6 in the cabin must purchase the Key, happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted July 2, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2021 If you are planning on getting the surf and stream it may be worth it to you. We bought it as we wanted the surf and stream and for a few dollars more we got priority boarding, lunch at chops, carry on luggage storage and expedited debarkation. Now with the new enforced boarding times I don't know how people with the key will get any priority boarding. Would I purchase it again? Yes if the price is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with @Sea Dog and to expand slightly, in my opinion $25.99 is to high of a price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree too. We got the Key for our November sailing for $18.99. I think anything under $20 is a great deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most the "worth it" equation depends on the diff between Key and Stream VOOM price - anything more than about $5, probably no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What We Found Travelling Posted July 3, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 3, 2021 We purchased the Key & would again. Lunch & breakfast in Chops, full internet, guaranteed seating at the shows & jump the queue at tender ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted July 3, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The chops lunch is now held in the MDR with a Chops menu. This is something to consider. Also consider if all of the protocols and capacity control will still be in effect when you sail. There may not be a need for reserved seating in the shows or lines for the activities. We were able to pre book shows through the APP and were able to get good seats. I think $25.99 per person is too much to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
