The Key if you’re a Diamond+ Member (on Oasis)?

[lawyerboy5555]

Hi - going to be traveling on Oasis and will not be in the Suite Guest Priority Group.  What benefits does Diamond Plus have vs purchasing The Key?  The Key promotes special VIP sections at shows (aquatheater and regular theater), Priority boarding and priority departure, along with reserved times for rock climbing and flowrider.  Which of these benefits from The Key (which also includes Zoom Surf and Stream) do Diamond Plus members get on Oasis?   Main thing of importance is reserved seating at shows, and priority embarkation/debarkation.  Thanks in advance!

There are few, if any, Key benefits that are also provided to D+. D+ does not have reserved seating at shows. On a recent cruises (at port canaveral) Key boarded prior to D+. Sometimes D+ goes first, sometimes Key. Either way there Is just a few minutes between the two. I don’t believe there is any priority disembarkation  for D+  
 

D+ of course does get two days of internet. This can’t be applied to pre cruise booking but can be used against a package once on board.

There is no priority debarkation for D+ on the Independence or the Explorer.  On the Independence, once our tag number was finally called, our line was stopped within twenty feet of the gangway to allow the tremendously long line of Keys to debark before everyone else in line.  We struggled to carry off our five bags on the Explorer ourselves to avoid that situation, as it really sucks to have a great cruise end with irritation and bad feelings.
