Do you think they will update the block?

 

My Enchantment block looks exactly like Grandeur🤔

 

I sure hope they don't start using the Symphony design

 

I'm thinking they will use the Symphony design.  Is Harmony also distorted?

Harmony is fine. While Symphony proportions are all out of wack, it does have very fine details

Hopefully they'll fix it since all OA class ships will have the slides and abyss soon.  Best of both worlds but might take a while to cycle through the supply chain.

Hi. I will be on the Anthem from January 16-February 15. Also on Serenade May 4. I would love to swap an Anthem glass milestone block with a Serenade block. Anyone on these cruises have a Serenade that they would like to exchange with me? 

We will be on the Serenade for the Panama Canal May 4th, 2020.  I have EXTRA Serenade Blocks and would love to trade for an Anthem Block.  You should come join in and introduce yourselves on the Rollcall for that cruise - Here's the link:

 

We have a good group of people making friends and plans for the cruise.

Are these Crystals similar to the Crystal Skulls? Asking for a friend 

[neverbeenhere]

Ours are more like of crystal obelisks, with all the same powers included. Line them up in a straight row, kneel and chant " Owatagooseiam"

If you quote the person you want to reply to they will see it in their notifications and depending on how they set their notifications they may even get an e mail that you replied.  You can also tag them by putting the “@“ sign in front of their name like this @DHADEN this will also send them a notification.

It's sad to see these trades that never happened 

[WeMissSeaView]

Looking for a Splendour of the Seas block.  Willing to trade two for one.

Really hard to earn one of those these days. Even before COVID19.

Anyone know what year they started giving the crystal blocks?

[Dennis#1]

Our first block was in May 2009 (Monarch).

Sometime in 2007.  Sovereign of the Seas left the fleet in 2008 and it had blocks.  Was told that Sovereign had blocks for about one year before she left.

True!  However, I found someone with an extra Legend block last year.

[cruisegirl1]

Now that Sovereign and Monarch are gone, I wonder if this might be a good time to try to sell my Sovereign and Monarch blocks?

I still maintain they're a cruel joke, and non existent. 😜  I'm just a few credits shy of 280, which means I should have 2 already.  However, the program changed....twice...which gypped me both times.  I should receive one on Quantum next year when I hit 280.  We shall see.

all you need to do is call the C&A desk and tell them you didn’t get them.  They can see what ships you were on at 140 and 210 points and will have them mailed to you. 
 

I’m curious as to what you mean my changing the program.   I do not think the crystal block program has changed since it started.

It has.  I'm trying to remember how, but I think the first change came with the days/credits conversion.  I think the second was changing it to a lower milestone.  Both times, the change caused it to be a milestone that I already passed, therefore, since I wasn't hitting the milestone on a cruise, I was out of thought.  I guess I could have called and asked for the blocks, but just never did.

I believe he is thinking when C&A went from credits to points in January 2011.  I also missed a block by the conversion and I did contact C&A.  I did not get a block because C&A was generous when doing the conversion and that block number fell in the black hole.  Hard to complain about that.  I had a block at 40 rewards credit and then after the change a block at 420 points.
