I'll check with LA to see if other milestones are receiving them. On his Happs broadcast, CLR showed the Adventure block he got for hitting 630 points. Was waiting in his cabin on day 1.

Curious if they are doing the math to determine if a block threshold is crossed and including the 2x in their calculation. Many times in the past when solo they didn't factor in the double unless you talked to them and pointed it out. With 2x, 4x and even 6x for solo suites on the table I'm curious if they are being proactive when deciding who is block eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points are points😉 And if they screw up the math, just call and request one. Easier to get home😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Last 10yrs have only Cruised 10+ niters doing B4B or longer and Solo. Always behind on my Double points and get new Block later getting 1-2 a yr normally 6-12months late. Can't imagine the Double-Double points I'll get will be more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted June 17, 2021 #1062 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I only keep the blocks that I earned on the ship. It's a fond memory of that cruise. If it's a duplicate...I always give them away. I can collect a beautiful sea shell, a colorful stone on the beach, or sea glass/drift wood etc. It's the memory of that find. At the same time, I know I can buy them cheap at a tourist trap shop, but simply not the same. 😉 All IMHO of course. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have 27 different ship blocks and I have sailed on each of those ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I wouldn't turn down a block either though I wouldn't be so excited about a block for a ship that I had not been on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted June 22, 2021 #1066 Share Posted June 22, 2021 With the new promotion we should get a block for over 280 for our next cruise. I’ll have to remember to ask. Is it every 70? Sorry but I can’t remember. So far no duplicates but I’ll try to plan for the next one...lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
