Daniel L Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hi Friends, First time cruisers, I wanted to run something by more experienced RCL guests. We're gonna be on Adventure of the Seas in May. We put in a Royalup suite bid to an Owners Suite which was accepted. We also have dining and drink packages. I currently have the key booked as well but after looking at things I think the benefits largely overlap the benefits suite guests already get? Is that true? What do you think?

Ampurp85 Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 You probably will be better off canceling the Key and paying for internet if you need it. The suite will get you priority boarding, suite activities and seating. Plus the departure options will be similar for suite guests. With the dining package, if unlimited, you will be able to eat embarkation lunch at any open specialty restaurants and the concierge will make your reservations. You are imho wasting money by having the Key. Kirsten and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I concur about canceling The Key. There's little to no value in it for you when in a suite. Ryan79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Internet for suite guests is only on Quantum and Oasis class ships. You'll have to buy an Internet package but that will still be a good bit cheaper than the key. Buy it in the cruise planner as it's more expensive to buy on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be on Spectrum next year in a JS so is the JS included? I did find this online, but it doesn't specifically say which class of ships: Royal Suite Class Star and Sky guests will enjoy the Surf + Stream package. Surf the web, stay in touch via email, share vacation photos on social media, stream music and movies from Spotify or Netflix and connect using video chat apps such as Skype. One device per person for each guest booked in a Star or Sky suite may be used. Internet service is available throughout the ship. Internet access ends at 8:00 a.m. on the morning of departure. Works on one device at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should wait.. Idk Royal Suites (Sea/Sky/Star) are only on Quantum and Oasis-class ships. You will not have complimentary internet with a suite on Adventure. Prepurchase internet if you want it (which, as someone said, will be cheaper than The Key itself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confusing royal suite with well the suite model will the same name, I thought sea sky and star are universal. I do feel like RCL made this more confusing than it needed to be. Will book internet though. IDK what im doing really. WAAAYTOOO and USCG Teacher 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal's president states that the suites like your Royal Suite on older ships are so much cheaper they couldn't possibly include internet. Yet the full suites on older ships never seem cheap to me.
