Rare little britain Posted May 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2023 What is everyone’s experience with receiving the special 25th anniversary “gifts”? Spent 15n on Radiance last month and the LA said he had not received the delivery yet …. What ships have the goodies on board ? What are the goodies? I have seen baseball caps.. anything else? Thanks 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted May 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Have not received anything yet, and we just got off of two weeks on board 4/16-4/30. They did bring us the wrong wine on the first leg however. Edited May 25, 2023 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted May 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I think when it was celebrated on Anthem in 2019 aside from a small cake with a candle we got some QR code to RCI cook book. But it was 50 years of Royal. Not sure about C&A. We are receiving welcome gifts with each sailing, right ? Edited May 25, 2023 by Tatka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted May 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Nothing on the Anthem TA earlier this month. BTW, the LA said my Anthem block earned on Dec. 5, 2021 is showing that it should be mailed soon. 😄 Edited May 25, 2023 by Another_Critic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted May 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Just got off Ovation last Friday (5/19) after 5 legs and 54 nights. I didn’t get anything on any of the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted May 25, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Lol… ok… let’s try a different tack….who has got the 25yr baseball cap 🧢 and what ship did you get it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted May 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) We were on Wonder for two weeks and we asked the LA about the 25th anniversary gift. I thought I had seen a video about some gifts and a few on social media showed 25th anniversary baseball hats. He said some gifts (hats) are brought onboard for one or two specific sailings per ship. When the 25th anniversary was announced, RCCL made it out to be some great celebration. I guess if I wanted a hat, I could get one on Ebay or Etsy. M Edit - a quick search revealed NO 25th anniversary hats on Ebay. LOTS of other options though. Edited May 25, 2023 by cruisegirl1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted May 25, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) What are you expecting? RCI has the best benefits for higher levels of C&A (which are being somewhat reduced, because of all financial losses). I do not expect much and I am fine with this as long as cruises are happening and they are good ... Edited May 25, 2023 by Tatka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect anything but when on board we were shown promotional videos about the 25th anniversary celebration and it mentioned that the "celebration" would continue all year. We were shown the videos at top tier events. Maybe no one cleared it with Jason Liberty. M 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a big hoo-ha about 25th anniversary and said there would be a year long celebration.., It’s now May; just saying! ps: we’re English. We don’t wear baseball caps!

We don’t wear baseball caps! It does not mean they will be giving presents. Baseball caps/hats are not for baseball! It is just a local name. 🙂 Crown & Anchor cap/hat is also baseball cap/hat.

Celebration does not always mean presents for everyone! C&A includes millions of people! You are C&A after 1 cruise I sail(ed) with 8 lines on multiple times and I don't remember presents for everybody. They all have clubs. RCI has the best program for higher level of C&A members. Just read benefits.Cruise more with RCI and you will get presents without anniversary, Edited May 25, 2023 by Tatka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the baseball caps. I think it was when we were on Oasis in Feb. We were on a B3B so I can’t recall which leg but they were only given out once at a Top Tier Event. Never saw them given out again after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it funny that you are telling someone to cruise more with Royal Caribbean and they will get more presents when they have more than double the amount of Royal Caribbean cruises that you have based on your respective signatures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t wear baseball caps! This is the way accountants, like Jason L, in charge celebrate. 😂 Word of mouth about the celebration, and one case of hats is enough. Don’t expect any more money to be spent. 🙃 Edited May 26, 2023 by barbeyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted May 26, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Anyone have an embroidery machine? Make you own cool stuff then watch the emails to Royal fly when you yell people it just arrived in the mail one day. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
