CFIGuy Posted October 21, 2019 #753 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Has anyone had luck trading on board with the LA? I’m guessing not, but thought I would ask. Really want to get a Grandeur before it leaves the fleet, but our next block will be the cruise prior - on Serenade - on which we already have a block.

Milwaukee Eight Posted October 22, 2019 #762 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It’s a math game. A 1000 points, entitled to receive 7 Crystal Blocks. 1500 would be 10. I can see getting duplicates. I feel sorry for the LA having to deal with the requests/pressure to hand out blocks not officially earned. in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading on board, with another passenger, is of course not a problem. In fact, many of us arrange with passengers on board to trade blocks. I believe your question was asking the LA to trade. Quite different, especially as the LA does not like to say no. Your best bet is to go onto your rollcall, either on Cruise critic or on other social media to see if there’s anyone on your cruise that would like your duplicate block for a trade. Just my opinion. For a variety of blocks, check eBay. . m Edited October 22, 2019 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted October 22, 2019 #767 Share Posted October 22, 2019 When we were on Anthem in Feb the Genie brought us 2 Anthem blocks (1 for each of us, I assume). I told her that we only rated 1 but she just shrugged her shoulders so we took both of them home. We ended up trading with John &LaLa through the mail for an Oasis block, which we did not have. We will end up earning an Oasis block in December so now we’ll have 2 of them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted October 22, 2019 #768 Share Posted October 22, 2019 My cousin also got a block from a Genie when they had a suite on Harmony. It was their last night and the block was on the bed with the tip envelopes. For what they paid for that suite I coulda gone on 6 cruises in a balcony. It was their second cruise.

And also just my opinion as well, I have no direct knowledge. Bob’s situation on Monarch is different in that he (and perhaps other passengers) were gifted that block for being on one of the last voyages of that ship. We had a similar situation on Sovereign. Every cabin on the ship was gifted a block. No one asked for it, it was simply a gift from the cruise line. CFIGUY-no worries, you can ask anything on Cruise Critic and you will get a variety of responses. It is still your option to ask the LA for a block. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
