Who told you the key is $25 . I dont remember seeing that charge on the S&S. Have to use the card to open the door, but we used our Costco card to open the safe.

:confused: Tishie - I've never heard of any security key. Maybe you're thinking of another cruiseline?

 

A couple of the older Carnival ships still have a keypunch when you key in your own 'code' for the safes. The newer ships all allow a magnetic strip card of your choosing to open/lock the safes.

I like the keypunch the best

This is probably what the PVP was talking about. I havent been on these ships, but I imagine the info it really outdated since it still lists Jubilee.

For our guests' convenience and security, a safe is provided in every stateroom and is located in either the closet or a cabinet. The size varies among the fleet; approximate size: 10"(wide) x 9"(high) x 8"(deep).

 

On the following ships, guests must obtain a key from their room Steward. There is no charge; however, a $40 fee will be charged to their Sail & Sign Account in the event the key is lost or not returned by the last evening of the cruise: Holiday Jubilee Celebration Fantasy Ecstasy.

 

On all other ships, the safe can be opened by using any type of card with a magnetic strip on the back, such as a credit card.

Don't feel stupid, just e-mail the post answers to your PVP and the PVP feel stupid.

You will learn PVP's say very odd things, sometimes i think they just make it up as they go.

NOT all PVP's, some are very good at what they do.

Actually, If you chose to use it their are safe deposit boxes for items too large for room safe (i.e. laptop) That carries a refundable $25 charge.
