Thanks. Good reason to get unearned blocks. I qualified my post as saying “some”. That doesn’t imply all. I do believe “some” acquire UNEARNED BLOCKS from the LA. By what means, who knows.

Really want to get a Grandeur before it leaves the fleet, but our next block will be the cruise prior - on Serenade - on which we already have a block. 1 hour ago, cruisegirl1 said: CFIGUY-no worries, you can ask anything on Cruise Critic and you will get a variety of responses. It is still your option to ask the LA for a block. m He's no asking for a block. He doesn't want the block that he's DUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted October 22, 2019 #782 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Isn’t the block more for the number of days sailed and not directed at a certain ship? We were lucky to be on the Anthem when we reached 140 days but we wouldn’t have minded a block from another ship if that is how it worked out.

We love our blocks! have them on the stand in the livingroom. Will get our next one at 630 points, so we will get it on Indy next Christmas. Wanted it on a ship that we don't have a block, so booked Indy for Christmas rather than Navigator and Indy was actually less money so it worked out perfect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M We become official members of the Pinnie club on Grandeur, 2nd leg (NE nine night 9/17 cruise). Just happy we booked when we did, and got lucky that Grandeur will still be there before she leaves the fleet. Though getting the award on favorite Enchantment would be a grand event also. Baltimore is lucky to get EN as a replacement. We miss her here in PC. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
