The Key.... is it worth it?

[D_Lodie]

Hi all... love this blog! we just booked our 1st cruise for March 2023. Starting off with a 4 day Western Caribbean leaving from Tampa. 

picking packages for drinks, VOOM etc is a bit overwhelming. Is the Key worth it? it includes VOOM, correct? asking for 2 adults and an 11 year old.

 

Thanks!

Personally, I used to purchase it when I wasn't  Diamond level, but ONLY if the price was under $20 per person per day.  More than that and it vastly loses its value.

Here's Matt's take on it:

Agree with speednoodles.

if you are in a suite or Diamond member or higher...NO.  

if you are below that level and it's under $20/day, then yes.  because it includes the internet and they priority emb and disemb. I did enjoy having the Key and it's perks, but it has to be for the right price.

I agree with the other commenters...I don't see any value with the Key if it is above the lowest I have seen it at $19.95. The other perks are nice if you take advantage of them. Other than that, the Key is window dressing.

I paid 16.99 for the Key when I was on Freedom for a 3nighter. So it can be cheaper, but it probably depends on the ship and how long the sailing is.

I would jump at it at this price.
