Ken at the beach Posted December 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It all depends if you are "linked" as a couple in C&A. If you are linked, then one block. Bob, different scenario. Two cabins, DW with DD in one cabin and myself and DS in the other cabin. Our accounts are linked. One block or two? Also DW is slightly ahead of me on points (1 extra cruise and a couple JS's) if that matters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not actually encounted this situation, but I would guess that the stateroom arrangement does not matter because they are going by a list from Miami. I don't think it's like the D+ amenities that get delivered to the stateroom and therefore would be more likely to be affected by sharing a stateroom. As always, who knows what Royal will actually do, so please report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted December 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I usually wait until after the welcome back party. If still no block, I just ask the LA about it. Once, on board the Legend, they were out of them and sent one to me about a week later via UPS to my house. Nice, no dragging it back in my carry on! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoreknothead Posted December 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We've managed to make it to Diamond + without getting a block. I couldn't begin to tell you what ship we were on when we reach 140 points :confused: Sitting at 204 right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We've managed to make it to Diamond + without getting a block. I couldn't begin to tell you what ship we were on when we reach 140 points :confused: Sitting at 204 right now! Well, if you next cruise will net you at least 6 more points, you should get a block. I'd touch base with the LA to be sure you are on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted December 3, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 3, 2015 We reached 140 points on the Freedom in August and the block was waiting for us in our cabin on Day 3 or 4. We did not have to check with the LA, but you never know... mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted December 3, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 3, 2015 We've managed to make it to Diamond + without getting a block. I couldn't begin to tell you what ship we were on when we reach 140 points :confused: Sitting at 204 right now! You sound like me. The last 2 times they changed the credits/points requirements, it was right before I was to earn one. Now I'm sitting at 274 points and still don't have one.

Rare John&LaLa Posted December 3, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 3, 2015 We boarded Brilliance at 349 points. 6 of those were earned 4 days earlier on Enchantment. Checked with LA on the first evening, and sure enough we were on the list. Block arrived on bed the next day. BTW, I did have my Enchantment sea pass in case there was an issue.

Rare island lady Posted December 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 3, 2015 On the Vision, we got chatting too much in the CL, and missed the first part of the welcome back party. They were looking for us during their welcome speech to give it to us in person, and since we had not shown up yet, they sent it to our cabin the next day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its one per house but we are both crossing and have different last names I am not going to push for two but just saying... Get just one.

Firefighterhoop Posted December 8, 2015 #25 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Just a few things 1) I ALWAYS go to the Loyalty Ambassador right away, just for piece of mind that they know. Sometimes they will just put it in your room, sometimes they will present it to you in the Welcome back or Top Tier party... Depends on the ship and the officers. IF YOU ARE GETTING THE BLOCK BECAUSE OF EXTRA POINTS ON THE CRUISE YOU RECEIVE THE BLOCK ON(Cruising Solo, in a Suite or combination of the above) MAKE SURE YOU CONTACT LOYALTY EARLY IN THE CRUISE BECAUSE THE COMPUTERS WILL NOT CATCH IT! 2) If you have to fly plan on the extra weight.. I know most people run close to the limit. 3) If the ship is out of blocks make sure they plan on shipping it to you. It takes 6-8 weeks usually. If you haven't received it by then Call Crown and Anchor and they will help track it. Edited December 8, 2015 by Firefighterhoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
