Perhaps the officers and crew were given a shot. I think long serving staff on Legend were allowed to take their pick. then the rest were put in a blind auction with all monies raised going to charity. We planned that we will receive our next block on the new "Spectrum" on its maiden cruise to Shanghai. That's if all our ducks fly straight 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, probably Freedom since we will have sailed her 3 times as of next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirlancelot Posted December 16, 2018 #357 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I would love to get your symphony in exchange for a monarch to give you! We live in Florida. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in Florida. What do you think? Oh, UKMDAY1, We would only want the regular (large) size symphony though, not the mini crystal block that we heard they gave for the inaugural symphony sailing. Haven't ever shipped to the UK but we assume it can be done but in looking at the shipping rates it looks like something like £20 or 30 to ship one of these blocks ...

Ours is a regular symphony block, didn’t know there was a smaller one to be honest. i have shipped to the us and received from the us also, so yes it is doable just a little more expensive.

Expat Cruise Posted January 5, 2019 #363 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I was in China last month and had a meeting at the Yiwu Wholesale Market, which is also known as the Largest Counterfeit Market in the World. Walked by one vendor who had all the Royal Crystal Blocks & Models. They also had stuff from Princess & Carnival, everything looked like the real stuff I have been given or purchased from the lines Vendor claims they came from the supplier but really cannot know if true or copies. So selling for $500 on eBay could be very profitable. Costs $5.00 sell $500 profit $495. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right about Sovereign being older. They were close, but Sovereign may have sailed with Royal before Empress did. Empress was originally ordered by Admiral Cruise Lines, but before she was completed, Royal bought Admiral. I don't know when the first crystal blocks appeared.

Joelster123 Posted January 28, 2019 #374 Share Posted January 28, 2019 These blocks are supposed to be given out on the cruise that you hit the milestone right? My last cruise took me to 143 points, should I have received one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
