Toddcan Posted October 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just a heads up... there are a few threads already started with examples of better-than-average price reductions on some onboard activities and packages. Just this week, I grabbed a $13pp lunch at Giovanni's, and just today I see The Key at $18.99 per person. I grabbed both. The Key includes internet. I previously grabbed a 20% sale on internet, and even compared to that pricing, The Key reduced pricing was only $4 pp/pd above the cost of the internet package, so I pulled the trigger. Check your onboard activity/package pricings - they seem to be unusually better-than-average this week. BTW, this sailing isn't until Aug 2024. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunlover2 Posted October 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Yes some great deals for our cruise too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJoynCruisin Posted October 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I picked up The Key for our 1st of b2b, 3 day. Don't need it for 2nd leg. Covers almost all of our voom. 4 day key was more. 7 day upcoming even more, plus we are in a suite. Still waiting for black Friday deals. Thanks for posting!

Just checked and the Key is even MORE expensive for Dec. 3rd on Anthem. (still same 25% off it usually shows for sales, so the base price has gone up.). I reserved it for $30.99 in August (reluctantly), now they want $35.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted October 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Since Wednesday, Chop's is down by $3 pp and Jamie's is up $3 pp and $4 pp for lunch, respectively. This is for sails on Anthem (3.31.23) and Symphony (10.8.24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted October 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I am new to royal. We have family cruise March 2024. If I get the key for all 4 adults but not 10 year old (she doesn't need the internet), will she still get the dedicated seating with us at the shows/priority tender etc? Or will I have to buy one for her also? I bought voom for 4 adults at $17.99. Our cruise had key for $18.99. I didn't know what key was but sound like internet and extras for a dollar more...good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted October 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2023 😂 I just found my answer when I clicked through to key purchase. It must be purchased by each guest 6 and over assigned in stateroom. I'll just keep the internet package. It's not worth it to me to purchase.

You get a discount for each additional guest when you purchase the internet for one person and then select how many devices you want on the account. If it is 17.99 for one device you should get each additional one at 11.99 or so. So, it is cheaper to have one account with 4 devices than 4 separate accounts. Check that out in the planner. Still, the KEY may be worth it depending on how much you value what is has to offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorh Posted October 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Our Jan. 18th cruise not a good deal at all. Key is to $39.99 down from 48.99 PP , per day. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted October 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2023 @HaveWeMetYet I appreciate your recommendation. I cancelled the 4 separate accounts and purchased one account with 4 devices and saved $102. The other benefits of key don't hold value for us so we decided against it. Thanks again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyblue78 Posted October 28, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2023 They still want $49.99/day for the Key for my Oasis cruise in three weeks. 😂😂😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC2RDU Posted October 28, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Important to watch the per person or per day price. I've notice they'll change that, then change the "sale price". We got the deluxe beverage package at 30% off, my brother in law got it at buy one get one half off, we actually ended up getting a better deal because the price per day was slightly different.

janabelle61 Posted October 28, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Wow! I just picked up the Key for my October 2024 cruise for $1/day over the internet cost 🙂 Great deals on other things, such as specialty dining lunches, as well. Thanks for the heads up.

cynt Posted October 28, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Really hoping they put our ultimate dining package on sale for our Quantum Alaska cruise . Nope, it's still $287.99. Hoping they put it on sale for Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy one, get one half off is actually 25% off each. You got 30% off, which is better than 25% off. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC2RDU Posted October 28, 2023 #18 Share Posted October 28, 2023 @Merion_Momclearly math is not my strong point! But I still think it's important to watch prices and discounts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
