Our cruises with Royal are usually Two 11 or 12 dayers to Southern Caribbean on Quantum/Vision classes in January/March One 5 dayer Bermuda on Freedom/Voyager class or 7 dayer to Bahamas in May/June on Oasis class One 9 dayer to NE/Canada in September on Freedon/Voyager class One 7-8 dayer to Bahamas for Thanksgiving on Quantum class Plenty of longer cruises. We avoid large number of children by sailing during school time or longer cruises, or using adult solariums. No short cruises for us.

We won't try to entice you... we want prices to come down, not up. We personally switched to RCI completely after Covid pandemic and 1 cruise with Celebrity (Edge) which we loved. So now 31 cruise are with other 7 lines and 31 with RCI. RCI works very well for our 5 cruises from Northeast (4 NJ and 1 Baltimore). Gives us variety, overall quality (Celebrity is ranked higher in this department, but there are more factors), great entertainment in theater and lounges.

Why? We have a nice display. We have two. One is four shelves with ships models. Another is with crystal blocks.

I take it as a comedy. Otherwise it is extremely confusing. I collect different things, which I do not use as doorstops. I do not collect anything that I would use as doorstops. 🙂

You will with a time. Since 2003 we have 31 cruise with RCI - 304 points 31 cruise with other 7 cruise lines Less points with others as with RCI we have many 12 dayers and 10 and 9 dayers. With others it is less.

So you do not really care. LOL. In this case I would just let them know I do not need them. They most definitely find next taker We do not sell ours Anthem November 2021, Oasis May 2022, Anthem November 2023. I am surprised people buy on Ebay or anywhere else other people Crystal blocks. Why? They are recognition for reaching certain milestone.

We got 2 onboard and for one we filled a request and followed with a call after return. Several calls. Received it after 8 months

This was our experience. Also many of Ps are much older folks so if they enjoy wearing pins I am happy for them.

We had this situation with block #2 on Oasis in May 2022. We waited about 8 months before receiving it. We called to check several times. #1 and #3 were received right on the ship.

In our experience you need to check if crystal block is in your room during 140pt, 210pt, 280pt etc sailing. If it is not and you want it you need to ask LA and if there are no blocks available on the ship you can fill special form so they will send it to you.

We do not wear pins. They are in our albums about cruising (1 album per approx 10 cruises) together with room keys, programs, tickets and other artifacts. Nobody except us even sees albums usually. From what I noticed in this thread... people conflate wearing pins with some other issues (or maybe not issues, but what they consider to be issues). Yes, there are pinnacles who wear pins and behave differently or wear something not up to your liking. There are pinnacles or any other people who do not wear pins and behave differently or wear something not up to your liking. No need to find something weird about people who wear or do not wear pins. There are no connections. 🙂

Somehow I suspect issue was not with a pin, but with " the tightest trunks I have ever seen anyone wear". Am I correct?

Interesting reading comprehension issues. Let me try again. I don’t need your pin. I have mine for years. All except Pinnacle. People like their (not yours) pins for various reasons. It seems like some people are upset about it. Quite a phenomenon.

There are changes. You no longer have Happy Hour with unlimited liquor + 3 vouchers during this time from limited menu. You get 4 vouchers during whole day from unlimited menu at any bar under $14. HH is still held in Crown (not Diamond) lounge, but no unlimited drinks. If there are too many Diamonds and up you won’t have access during this time.

Is this an attempt at humor? Weak. Why would anyone bid on other people pin? Just like on other person’s crystal block? Just because you have no use for them or are not interested … doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t. People collect them as memories. Personal memories. If you are not interested you shouldn’t make a big deal out of it. Just return it to C&A concierge, they will give to the next person 🙂
