Yeah, I gotta say I'm starting to like these more. I think I like your Voyager block better than the old style I got in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2023 It's been a year since I qualified for my first block. Still waiting for it. Meanwhile I have my second block in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to keep an open mind, but I really like the old style blocks I have “earned”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted June 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) They look OK, but will clash with the rest of your collection if you have several already. I’d prefer the old style for that reason. I saw one recently that someone posted that had the Crown & Anchor symbol in the circle stamped upside down. 😆 Edited June 17, 2023 by HicksRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to call about this block in December as our suite concierge plus our room attendant and the GS had no idea what I was talking about. The Royal service rep said I should have gone to the C and A desk when I boarded. Which yes, I should have. Regardless, glad to get my 1st one 6 months later! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted June 17, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Congrats! I’m not sure I’m going to be upset about free thing (a gift!) in either case, but new type will work for me at least this time around (280 points) as I’m about to receive Anthem’s block again … At least it will be different from 140 points Anthem. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted June 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I just received my 2nd block. I have 5 now. My allure block was on back order since last year. Not sure how I have 5 total now. Just barely got radiance. The next 70 pts will take a while. Went on vacation and came home yesterday and this was sitting on my front porch, no telling for how long. Lucky burglars didnt take it. Amazing actually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer the old style for that reason. I don't expect to ever amass much of a collection but that's probably how I'd feel. I got my first one late last year (old style) so at least the oddball will be special, lol. FWIW, Wonder was still giving out the old style as of last week. My in-laws got their first and I was expecting a new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should receive a letter in your cabin on the cruise during which you reach/pass 140. It will give you the option of having it delivered on the ship (if in stock), having it mailed to you (which may or may not take a while), or you can decline it. If you don't get a letter, you can go see the loyalty ambassador. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ask on the cruise where it's due. One person, maybe john missed out on one they said he never asked. If the ship has them great. The for has a choice that you dont want the block. .. So I'd ask if nothing is said to be sure. Whatever your next cruise is, 7 days, so 14 pts it's due. Will be a block with that ships name. You cant push it forward to the next ship.

It will be left on your bed during the cruise where you hit 140 points. You are no longer given the option to have it posted. Saves RCI some money in stamps!! It is always worth stopping at the LA early in the cruise that you are due to receive one, just to make sure you are on their list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 5 blocks and dont remember any of them having a paper left in my cabin. I went in search of the loyalty ambassador. Asked if they had some onboard. I also called last march and was told it would be mailed in April. Came now in june. ..that's why I'm surprised out of the blue. Maybe now they have the new blocks they will get back to leaving papers. My last was my march 27 radiance. Got a old style block. Happy. This is my first new style.
