My bad, today I saw a separate line (Star Class- no mention of Key) for Abyss and similarly saw it when no one was waiting so I am uncertain how it works. But no separate line for zipline or flowrider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no separate line for zipline or flowrider. If you ask - let us know! I believe on last weeks Symphony cruise there was a reviewer here who asked to have a sign added at the flowrider (possibly for Suites?)..surprised its gone! Maybe it’s only on one side? I don’t think the price of the key is enough to get priority access every hour of the flowrider (while the price of the suite is probably much more inline with that perk!) - but I do think they need to offer it enough for all 200 Key Holders to be able to take advantage of it!! Which won’t happen in a single hour!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennisCruiser62 Posted March 18, 2019 #1828 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Did they up the sales for The Key to 200 now? Is it no longer just 100 Key holders. Maybe thats why my sailing on Anthem in April is still selling them? I thought it might be worth it since its Spring Break at that time, but who knows.

blueridgemama Posted March 18, 2019 #1830 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Where did you get the information that it is now 200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkunk Posted March 18, 2019 #1831 Share Posted March 18, 2019 We don’t usually use the flowriders or the rock wall, but do like to use the zip line on occasion on Oasis class ships. So are you saying that now the Key people have the same privileges as the Suite guests with the Priority line? I think if I was a Suite guest and had paid all of the extra money, that might irk me a little. Especially if there are now 200 Key people. (I know that hasn’t been confirmed.)

Our March 30 Symphony sailing reopened the previously sold-out bookings for The Key, with a "20% Discounted Rate" of $24.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilfoolx Posted March 19, 2019 #1833 Share Posted March 19, 2019 My group purchased "The Key" for an upcoming sale on Vision of the Seas (smaller ship). Anyone know what kind of amenities will be provided on Vision, or who has experienced it? Sailing at end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEORGIEGIRL Posted March 19, 2019 #1838 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We will be on "Enchantment" this weekend and have reserved the "KEY". When My DW originally asked me about getting it. I said "we are not getting the KEY". She somehow she heard "We are getting the KEY" and booked it. 😎 Will let you all know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUZorba Posted March 19, 2019 #1839 Share Posted March 19, 2019 With the priority line can you ride over and over? If so you could basically have 3 or 4 Key people completely take over the flowrider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I heard somewhere on this board was that they were taking a key person every 3-4 regular line riders. So they didn’t completely take over...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orsino Posted March 19, 2019 #1843 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The Key looks like it continues to be a moving target. I'm not sure how I feel about the Priority Access for flowrider and rock climbing rather than dedicated hours. I agree with the poster who is uncomfortable cutting the line, even if one is perk eligible. It's an awkward situation that I would also feel weird about. But I would probably get over it because I'd be mad at myself if I paid for a perk and didn't use it. It could work out well for us, since we would be able to go to Flowrider during more convenient times. I do agree that there should be a separate line. 1 minute ago, Cel_cruise said: This is what makes me say that there shouldn’t be all day priority lines for them.

I think I'd prefer the dedicated hour over that. That's easily three to four times the amount of wait we had compared to the dedicated hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting bc just a couple weeks ago you couldn't get the program. So either they added more or some people backed out of it. My husband and I also will be on an April cruise on Anthem of the Seas to Bermuda. Looking very much forward to using the Key program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That still seems like too much to me. Some people would do it over and over for an hour or more. As long as there is one person in that line, it would extend the wait time for everyone else 25 to 33%. I think they should keep it as private hours. Considering you have many full suite people that don't get that perk and everyone in line paid a lot to be on the ship, I think it is crazy to get that type of entitlement for $25/day.

So a family of 4 is $100/Day And the reports of the exclusive hours were first thing in the morning or during dinner which some reports say weren't utilized. And not everyone is going to use the Flowrider any way and if its spread around all day, maybe the impact to non paying riders won't be so bad. Personally, I like any time priority and wouldn't have any problem jumping to the front of the line. I would, however, like to see a Key sign at the attraction.
