UnMe4ever2gether Posted September 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2021 We will have 155 points after our Vision of the Seas Cruise March 2022. I know you get the Crystal Block after 140 points. Will I get the block on the cruise or do I have to wait until after the cruise to accumulate the points?

Aileen Just off the Mariner last week and my son got his 3rd block. The first day C&A left a letter in the room congratulating him for his milestone and gave three options to pick. One: Have it delivered to the stateroom and take it home, Two: If not available to take due to travel, C&A will ship to your house, Three: Do not accept and leave available for the next Cruiser that earns it. My son checked #1 and it's sitting on his shelf in his BR. (He's over 21 and is D+ on his own but has less points than us) Edit: The ship you are on when you achieve your point status is the block you get.

jdg623 Posted September 12, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2021 We were supposed to get one on the Adventure last month - the loyalty ambassador said it would be mailed. Still waiting - has anyone had one mailed recently? If so, how long did it take to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loyalty ambassador told me it would be mailed as they did not have any in stock and I got it Fed Ex probably about 1.5 weeks ago so it took about 2.5 -3 weeks from the time we got off the ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the harmony/symphony blocks had the updated ship design with the slides on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb in ga Posted September 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I qualified for another block on my Symphony cruise last week. The Loyalty desk was closed when I went by, so I asked at the guest service desk and it was delivered next day to the cabin. Barb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The sea calls my name Posted September 13, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Is it every 70 points after you receive the initial one at 140? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted September 13, 2021 #16 Share Posted September 13, 2021 The story I heard for Odyssey was that no blocks were ever made on account of the decision to end the block program. Apparently that decision was made some time ago, we just found out recently before they reversed course. The supplier in China declined the recent order for Odyssey blocks. It was not clear why. Out of business, doesn't make them anymore, didn't like the pricing, who knows? Royal is now scrambling to find a new source for ship blocks including Odyssey leading to the extended shipping times for Odyssey. Other ships likely have inventory in the warehouse but it's not clear what happens if they run out. So for now we wait for our Odyssey blocks. That'll probably be all of the 8 - 12 weeks they have offered, possibly longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship/cruise that you reach the specific point threshold is the block you receive. So if you were due one on ovation, that would mean that you had not met the specific threshold until you took that cruise. You did not, so the next cruise you take that you meet the threshold you will receive a block of that particular ship m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
