Second key to room

[vafatboy]

We're planning on taking a cruise with the inlaws and parents.  Has anyone every got a second key to your room.  We'd like to have a key to the parents room to assist them in the morning getting out of bed.  They will be in a handicap room and uses a wheelchair.

Yes, just go to guest services and they will get you sorted out.  It is very common.

A couple of years ago we had kids and grandkids along and they were booked one kid in each room and one parent in each room and one grand kid with us.  It was no problem getting a multiple keys to various rooms. So we could sort out sleeping arangements.

Note that the extra keys are just room key cards, they are not SeaPass cards (i.e., no charge privileges, etc.).

We've done this multiple times when we've had our kids with us. I'm not sure of your cabin arrangements, ours were always next door to each other. We kept the extra card key on our desk so we didn't have to carry two cards with us all the time.

On the newer ships which have RFID card stock, some reports suggested getting duplicates was a bit harder. Also, on the very newest ships (and Oasis) you can use the app on a mobile device to open the door - that method could be used in lieu of a second key.

We had no issues getting an extra card on Symphony in Feb 2020. We had two cabins and one adult in each so my husband's card didn't work in our cabin and I couldn't get into the kids so we got two extra keys. They were just plain cards without any names or anything.
