Crystal Blocks

[Ocean Boy]

That Symphony block is bad. The Harmony and Oasis blocks are really nice. I think I will be slightly short of points on my Harmony cruise.😔

The horrible result of the Symphony blocks.

 

See pictures above. 

 

Looks like a bad Lego model😉

Not sure what you mean about the Symphony

Oasis photo. Notice proportions 

 

Oasis block, very similar

 

Look at Symphony block. Way out of proportion, no other block is done this way

looks more like the back end of a princess ship than RCI

Yeah, that class that had the shopping cart handle above the sheer stern that looked like a straight wall.

I rather liked it.  I sailed on the Caribbean Princess and I loved the ramp to the bar as well as the whole back area including a pool.

A. Someone told the vendor to squeeze it in to make it fit but the vendor only squeezed it horizontally.  

 

B. The fax machine used by Royal had a paper jam and the image got squished.

I've squished digital images when attempting to crop. Forget the details

I have one somewhere in my pictures, but they are all messed up. If I find it soon I'll post it.

 

Edited - Just saw Twangster posted one.

to give an update, while on Anthem I approached them saying I did not get mine for Ovation in 2019.

They loyalty ambassador researched and called me to say yes I have a Crystal coming and it would come by mail.

I asked if I would get the ship I was on (Anthem) or Ovation.  They said I would get Ovation.

I asked why I could not have Anthem since I was on this ship now.

 

I was told from now on ALL CRYSTALS WILL COME VIA THE US MAIL OR WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN.   They will be mailed from Miami.

Thanks for the update.  I'm due a block on my Anthem December cruise.

I'd actually prefer the shipping method.  I'm tired of having TSA pull my carry-on bag aside to inspect my latest block because they can't identify it on the x-ray scanner.

 

On another note, I was on Indy last week and they did deliver my latest block on the last evening.  It is a Serenade block.  I guess whatever they have is what you get.

Interesting. We never received a crystal block at 140.

Perfect...Would love to share...I've mailed 4 so far to John to find new homes for.

The big question though is if you go on the whole of the world cruise do you get three blocks all the same.

[little britain]

My friend turned 140 on the last night of Cruise A and received a block.  7 days later she went on Cruise B ( so starting at day 141)…. And she received another block!

 

Some people get lucky!

That happened to us 3 weeks in a row on Oasis back in 2017
