  • Is Royal Caribbean's The Key really worth it? In this video we dive deep into our decision making process and why sometimes we purchase it and sometimes we DO NOT. Not all things in #cruiselife are as straightforward as a simple yes or no. Most importantly what are the alternatives?
    Is it good for families who #cruise?
    Maybe you like priority boarding, or the included internet? Or maybe the VIP seating for shows? There are many benefits, including priority tenders at certain ports.

    Hello! Greet vlog on the KEY! Appreciate the time you took to explain each perk that comes with the KEY as well as the options to obtain the same perks as add-ons. I also appreciate and concur with your final assessment on whether the KEY is worth it, depends on individual preferences and travel needs/styles - just like the Drink Package. I have purchased the KEY once because I got it at a good sale price and I really wanted it for the internet. At the price I paid, it was like purchasing the internet package that came with a few perks! The internet is the main attraction for me under most circumstances. Perhaps if planning a cruise with several tender ports the value of the KEY for me might change, but once again, it depends! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and experience! 😎😎😎

      We are so glad your liked our video. And thank you for commenting. So many recommendations we have seen are very "black and white" about it and we really do believe "it depends" when it comes to buying this #RoyalCaribbean #cruise feature. Finding The KEY at a sale price is like finding treasure on a tropical island, and you are right it can really change the value. When it is on sale, it can really shift the value proposition.

    When we boarded in Honolulu last year, the debarkation from Australia had been delayed. I think many people came way early for embarcation, so terminals was full of people waiting to board. We had the key, so we found an employee and asked him where to go. He let us through, so we were on the ship in less than 10 minutes. We enjoyed some of the onboard benfits. We felt it was worth it for us.

      That's a really good point. It certainly does help with getting through crowds on embarkation day.

    Hi again guys 👋 Great rundown of the key and what it gives you. My question is, do you get priority boarding on the tender boats when you want to return to the ship from the port? Thanks again and keep up the great videos 👍🏻👍🏻

      Hi Darren, thanks for the message. In Australia you don't get priority boarding back on the tenders and to be honest I have never waited long personally anyway. However, there are some ports in the US that do have priority boarding back on the tenders. Thanks again for watching 😃

    I didn't want to spend the money but The Key sounds like I'll enjoy embarking and disembarking plus meeting others who bought The Key at lunch when we meet for a couple of meals. Just bought the key at $37/day and I feel just so ... RELIEVED knowing I won't have to stand around losing my patience getting on and off the ship. Thanks!

      @SoCalCycleLawyer thanks for the message, yes we agree the line ups can be something that makes you lose patience lol. We hope it makes your trip more enjoyable and love hearing about your experience after your cruise.

      Do you get internet for each person in the room? We will have two people, so do we get one device each or do we have to share?

    • @debandmattchat
      @debandmattchat  Před 10 dny +1

      @@karriestewart1462 You sure do. The Internet is for one device per person who has the Key Package.
