I use a MAC and cannot get on using Safari, but can using Google. 

With the sale today, I I purchased it for my July Oasis cruise ( which is almost sold out).  Based on what the internet would have cost, it was a good deal, as I get the Chops lunch, can leave the bags for delivery ( I liked that when I did this last on the Anthem a few years ago), and get the  guaranteed seating at shows ( I know some said that does not work, but it did on the Anthem  and this cruise will be packed). I waited for a sale to do this.  

Thank you.

I used the Key a few years ago and liked it.  But I cannot recall as to the internet if there are 2 people in the room if each gets the use of one device, or it is one device per room.  If anyone knows, let me know.

Many thanks

I just read the entire review.   It was great and you have a lovely family. 

I suggest calling.  I did yesterday to retrieve my daughter's number and the agent was very helpful

Thank you

Thank you 

Thank you for the replies.   I am not in a wheelchair but use a cane and sometimes a walker.  I recall from yrs prior the walk from the ship in Nassau to getting taxis, I was curious if there was any way to get assist  from the ship to the taxis.  That is my major concern.  

I will be on the Oasis in July and have been to Nassau before but cannot recall if RCCL has any one to assist when get off the ship to take you to the place where you can get taxis. Does anyone know?    

I have never been on a ship that docked in Cape Canaveral.   We intend to take the bus to Disney.   Will this be an issue for me getting to it?

 Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

 Your review was wonderful.   I did have a question about the housekeeping changes.  I have a Jr Suite on  Oasis this summer.  I thought the changes did not apply to Jr. Suites and above.  What changes did you see?

I have mobility issues and need to take the tram  when I visit this summer.  I booked the beach club thinking it would be easier to navigate by tram.  Is it easier to get there by tram or should I look at chill beach which has some beds still available.  Cruise is for. adult daughter and myself.

Any thoughts appreciated. 

I am really enjoying your review!

  I started to read this a few days ago.  You  and your family are amazing.  Thanks again for the wonderful and heartwarming review. 

Hello

 I booked Oasis out of NJ in August and booked the Key.  I used  it last pre Covid on the Anthem and thought it was a very good deal.

Has anyone used it recently?  Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for this thread.  I  cancelled  the beach bed I booked for Anthem Dec. 28 at $299 and then rebooked at $199.  

I am on the Anthem over New Year's and the Holiday dinner was higher than regular price, but not super high.  Maybe it depends on the ship.

Thanks for your great reviews.   I have booked day beds for Anthem Dec. 28  cruise and still completely confused about  them.  Do you know if they are preassigned or first come, fist served? 

July 27, 2019 Anthem cruise- 

I believe this was on July 31. 

We did  this on a recent Anthem cruise.   We paid close to $170 a person and I did not think it was worth it.   The ride to Clearwater is an hr or so.    The beach  was still pretty rustic though had when we got there clean bathrooms.   There is a water shortage   in Bermuda, severe at that end  of the island, and without telling the woman who managed the facilities, the Water Authority shut off the water right before our group  was leaving, which rendered the bathrooms a mess. People could not wash off the sand as well.  ( She did arrange for our group to stop at a nearby restaurant if people needed to wash up, etc.).

The lunch is a box lunch, a burger or fish cake, and a pasta.  You get one rum drink and a water.

There was a  bar there, but we did not go to it.

I was not impressed by the beach- lots of shells and not very clean. ( That could also have been because Bermuda allows public camping on beaches and  many were already camped out due to the upcoming cricket match in the area.)

   My daughter  walked to  another beach- I think Turtle Beach- and she said it was a lot prettier though no facilities.

We did this due to time constraints and I wanted to   make sure we had no issue getting back to the ship.

I had wanted to go to Elbow  Beach but had read it  could be difficult  getting a taxi back to the ship. 

I think it depends on your sailing and what your concerns are.   For us, having it for the 5 night recent Anthem was a bonus- though one had been bought at the discount rate and the other at the "regular rate".   I am getting it again for the New Yrs cruise. We would get the Internet regardless, and then I figured in the  price of the Chops lunch ( liked it) breakfast last day ( very good), other perks we used as well  before and would use this time,   as the  priority arrival and priority departure .   (  Also, I hope we can get off early at CoCo Cay...)

The Anthem I have found is the worst ship in my years of cruising RCCL  for embarkation and departure.   At  my age, to have those expedited, as I am  not in a suite, I believe  it is worth the Key.  

I just called RCCL to ask about this, and the agent I spoke to insisted it was not discontinued and just sold-out on my cruise, but who knows.   

I really liked the benefit ( though I understand many questioned it).  I hope it is not discontinued or markedly changed, for the worse. 

This is odd.  I  had previously booked it for Dec. 28 Anthem.    It still  shows I paid for it.   And now, it has  disappeared  as well from the cruise. I was a fan on recent  Anthem cruise , too.

I think agent mentioned something about a Beat the Clock promo  but not sure. It is weird the  New Yrs Cruise went down in price.

Yes.   I saw the difference of $100  on line  and called and then the agent also told me there was another promo and I got another $35 off.
