She confirmed names, address and informed that she had no idea when it would be delivered. No forms to fill in We definitely had a form left in our stateroom as I said only name and address fill in to confirm that we would like to receive the block. I think I’d call crown and anchor.

snarfbunny Posted September 21, 2022 #1478 Share Posted September 21, 2022 So if we are a couple, do we each receive a block? I just realized after reading this thread that we should get our first block for our upcoming cruise on Ovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just given my block order form on the cruise after I reached 140. When I boarded Voyager, I had 145 and that's the one they are sending. Sounds like it should have been done on the Jewel cruise prior? Wonder if a call to C&A will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be for the ship on which you hit 140, yes, not the next one. Calling can't hurt... will it help? Depends who answers along with other random factors. If you'd rather have Jewel, try calling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeLibertyGirl Posted September 22, 2022 #1482 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Finally got my 3rd block in the mail but for the wrong ship Allure should be Anthem. While on board Adventure in September got our 4th. Went to Loyalty to discuss another issue and I mentioned about not getting my block from Anthem said come back next day between 3 and 4:30 if I didn't speak with her you didn't know they were available for Adventure. When I'm on Anthem in December I'll see if they have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized after reading this thread that we should get our first block for our upcoming cruise on Ovation. OCSC Mike is correct, 1 per household. Just wanted to share my call to C&A regarding your exact question... The lady at C&A said: "Sir, you get one per household". I said politely: "But we have 2 separate C&A numbers". She said: "Are you married or a couple?". I said: "Yes". She said: "You only get one per household". I said: "What if we get divorced, who gets the block?". She said: "Sir, you may want to ask your attorney...(pause)...but call back, we may be able to help...with the block". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted September 23, 2022 #1487 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I rang Crown & Anchor yesterday and the lady said that I have to email with all Crystal Block queries. I sent an email this morning and the auto reply said they have 72 hours to get back to me...more during busier times. Will be interesting to see if and when they reply!

I'd try calling again if you feel like it. It's common to get different answers from different phone reps. When I called about a block in June (never got the request form when I passed 140 on the ship) they took my info over the phone and it arrived 3 months later.

Aquahound Posted September 24, 2022 #1496 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I have over 300 cruise points and I only recently received my first block. I wonder if they'd be receptive to sending me my missed blocks if I'm able to figure out what cruises I earned the milestones. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted September 24, 2022 #1499 Share Posted September 24, 2022 well I had a letter in my room on Allure in June and a day later having filled out the form it came. Last week on Adventure, I had to go to desk to ask and she said that she would have caught up with me but does not like to have the stewards deliver them. hmmmm not sure what to think as I had a nice lady and oh well. I did pick mine up later in the week. So, this year I have gotten two ON THE ship. But my 2019 Crystal (which I never knew about) never got on the radar. But alas on another ship I went and then sent an email and withing 6 weeks I got my Ovation crystal. Now I have one from three different class ships, Voyager, Quantum, and Oasis. I will be hard to try and time it out to get something from other class ships because of trying to guess what points and what sailing. So, I will be happy with my three, Ovation, Allure, and Adventure. It does sound like there is no consistency within the fleet on crystals.

Only 13 points to earn the next block, but I doubt I'll be sailing on Freedom or Oasis class before I earn the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
