GradUT Posted September 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Our adult children are traveling with us on a cruise at the end of the year. We will be staying in a balcony cabin and they will have an inside cabin across the hall. I would like for them to be able to come use the balcony whenever they want without having to track down one of us down to get a key. Can they be issued a key as if they were in a hotel and we asked for an extra key? If not, how have you dealt with a situation like this? Thanks for any suggestions.

wineforhealth Posted September 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2014 No problem getting a second key, after you board go to the passenger service desk and ask the for the key cards you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenb Posted September 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes, we have done this on many occasions, and will on our upcoming Hawaiian cruise (where we also have a balcony and an inside across the hall). We get 2 extra keys per cabin, and that way each person in the family has keys to both rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peety3 Posted September 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2014 My folks cruised with us in July, with a minisuite almost directly across the ship from DW and I. Dad and I made a visit to PSD and they happily issued extra "plain blue" keycards for the opposing rooms. The agent seemed to suggest that we were compromising our security by getting the cards made (though he was happy to do it), but I think if you simply make sure they don't write anything on the card OR you write some sort of code word on them so you can tell which card is for which room. FYI, we just kept the key to their cabin in our cabin, rather than carrying it. If we needed it, we used our own key to get into our cabin, grabbed that key, and walked across the ship to their cabin. Just a simple thought on how to avoid needing 17 keycards etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradUT Posted September 5, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks, everyone. I'm glad to know it won't be a problem to get the duplicate keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherryf Posted September 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Just be sure to put out the Do Not Disturb sign at any times that you don't want them barging in. ;) :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 5, 2014 When my adult son cruises with us he has a separate HC cabin. We always get extra keys for his room as he requires assistance. It's easy to keep the keys separate as the extra keys are blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
