bigeagle12 Posted October 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Our friends just hit 140 points this week on the Mariner. They only received one block and were told this is the new policy. We still got one each last year. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace1zoe2 Posted October 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2023 We have 3 different ones, the first was at least 5 years ago. We only ever received 1 total, not one for each person. I don't think this is a new policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got one each you lucked out. Edited October 26, 2023 by Ourusualbeach 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Maybe you got mine which I've been waiting for nearly 18 months 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlbecker1 Posted October 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2023 We have always received just one(we have 9), but we should have 8. We received 2 last month on the Grandeur. We let the LA know that we are only supposed to be receiving one, but she insisted that we were supposed to get 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only work if you and your wife are not linked. If you are linked, while you technically have different points they only look at your relationship points. I may have received a couple of extra blocks when Vikki and I were unlinked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted October 26, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Just now, Tree_skier said: What if you hit 140 on different cruises? It is still one per couple. DH has been eight points ahead of me for years, so he tends to hit milestones 1 cruise sooner. The blocks consistently arrive on his milestone cruises and not mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted October 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We were on a B2B where we reached 140 in the last couple days of the first cruise. This was after the restart, and they were shipping blocks. We had a card in our room when we checked in, so filled it out and gave it to the LA. On the first day of the 2nd cruise, there was another card, so we filled it out again (putting my wife's name this time), and turned that one in to the LA. Didn't fool him in the slightest. Months later... one block arrived.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeagle12 Posted October 27, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Guess we were lucky. We got 140 on the Jewel last year and they sent us 2 blocks 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did get one last month on Serenade and one last week on Radiance, at least they are still old Style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelster123 Posted October 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 27, 2023 After the initial one at 140, how many nights (or points if solo) for the next one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannibal54 Posted October 27, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2023 We got 2 on one cruise, but it was the final sailing of the Monarch, trying to clean house I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovescats5 Posted October 27, 2023 #17 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Interesting. We are basically 2 families. My son and granddaughter, then husband and I. Should we be getting 2 blocks when earned. We will get on in April on Adventure and 2 would be fun. Have only received one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your son is not linked to you, and he shouldn't be, then he will get his own block. Only you and your husband should be linked. Your granddaughter should be linked to your son.

Eddie Wilson Posted October 30, 2023 #20 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Please excuse a corollary question….. If you hit the milestone number of 140, 210 etc on the LAST DAY of a cruise, do you receive the block with that cruise, or wait till the next one. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are delivered earlier in the week Remember, you do not get points for the day you disembark the ship.
