Only if you really want/need an internet package and the cost of Key is about the same as the internet package. Don't get it for the couple of minutes it may gain you getting on board.

I love voyager class, perfect size not to big or small , lots of bars and music options you should be able to find a somewhat quite place . We book suites so I have no knowledge of key . Don’t miss the ice show .

look at some you tube videos of the ship.  I love boleros and the schooner bar. We don't book the key, It doesn't have value to me, I don't mind waiting a touch.

I sincerely wish your wife a speedy recovery. I don't think that there is sufficient value to adding The Key to your reservation. I think that you should just go with the flow and enjoy your cruise versus trying to get return on the purchase of The Key. 

 

There are a lot of nice bars. We frequent Schooners because they usually have the type of music that appeals to us. 

 

Have a great cruise. Best wishes to your wife.
