ribarfly Posted March 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sailing on the Oasis Inaugurals last December we earned our 40th & 41st cruise credits, when I asked the Loyalty Ambassador about our 40th commemorative gift she said that they were not ready in time so they would mail them out :rolleyes: Well true to their word FedEx delivered it last night, it is really neat did anyone else get one? Thank you RCCL Ron :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted March 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Wow! That's really nice! Is this a commemorative gift for your 40th cruise, or cruising the Oasis, or a combination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribarfly Posted March 3, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It was for our 40th cruise credit and that happened to be on the Oasis. Ron :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogimax Posted March 3, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2010 What's the minimum number of cruises to receive a gift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annieeee Posted March 3, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 3, 2010 What's the minimum number of cruises to receive a gift? You get one on your 30th, 40th, 50th and etec etec. Every 10th cruise after the 30th. Altho a few have said they got one at 20. Annieeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardwalkBabe Posted March 3, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Congratulations! The gift is very nice. Did you sail on 40 cruises? I am not familiar with the whole credit concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribarfly Posted March 3, 2010 Author #13 Share Posted March 3, 2010 What's the minimum number of cruises to receive a gift? Commemorative gifts are given for total number of cruise credits achieved not actual cruises, they used to give the gifts for your 20th credit but they don’t do that anymore now its 30, 40 and I believe 50. The Oasis sailing was our 27th cruise but we have earned 41 credits. Ron :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted March 3, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hooray, we also got ours on The Oasis, for our 50th cruise with Royal. We now have a nice little set of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steponboard Posted March 3, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I love those crystal blocks with a ship etched in them. Let's hope that perk is never a cutback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted March 3, 2010 #16 Share Posted March 3, 2010 You get one on your 30th, 40th, 50th and etec etec. Every 10th cruise after the 30th. Altho a few have said they got one at 20. Annieeee We have 22. No gift though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandiva Posted March 3, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Wonder how they will acknowledge my 4th cruise with them in October. I heard it was with an all you can eat buffet 3 times a day for the whole cruise:p. Congrats! what a lovely gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkissed Mommy Posted March 3, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Wonder how they will acknowledge my 4th cruise with them in October. I heard it was with an all you can eat buffet 3 times a day for the whole cruise:p. Awesome! I can't wait. What a great way to recognize a 4th timer! I am excited for my buffet in June! ;) I'm hoping they will have my name carved in the ice sculpture to recognize me! On another note: Those crystal thingies are nice! I can't wait till I earn one, only 26 more cruises to go :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribarfly Posted March 3, 2010 Author #21 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Does anyone have any idea what these go for on Ebay? No but I told DW if the ship ever hits an ice burg it will worth a fortune :o.........:p Ron :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted March 3, 2010 #22 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Does anyone have any idea what these go for on Ebay? Hmm - When we hit 40th, we decided we did not need another item to dust so we gave the crystal block back. Do they have any value. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladylawyer Posted March 3, 2010 #23 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Congrats, Ron & Sue! (Hi! BTW) Funny story about my crystal block, for our 30th cruise. I packed it in my carry-on. The TSA agent stopped my suitcase, after the x-ray and did that "pull you over to the side" thing they do. He unzipped the garment bag part of the suitcase and felt around, coming up with nothing but clothes. He zipped it up and then unzipped the same compartment. Finally, he realized that there was a second set of zippers, and came upon the box that the block was in. He pulled out the block and held it to the light. Mind you, he had not said one word, during this whole process. Finally, I said (as he was turning the block around and around), "It's pretty, isn't it? I got it as a gift from Royal Caribbean for having 30 cruises with the line." Still no comment from Mr. TSA. He just put the block back in the box, closed the suitcase and sent me on my way. Later, DH informed me that the "lead" crystal shows as solid black on x-rays! So, Mr. TSA was looking for the solid black thing in my suitcase. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednancy1 Posted March 3, 2010 #24 Share Posted March 3, 2010 What a beautiful crystal block!!! :) We have several and would love to have an Oasis block!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted March 3, 2010 #25 Share Posted March 3, 2010 By the time we get to 30, they will probably raise the minimum to forty! Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
