WeMissSeaView Posted March 9, 2021 #1026 Share Posted March 9, 2021 When you fly and hand carry a block, just hope you do not get the TSA agent I got one time. She told me that I could NOT take the block on a plane. When I requested that she call over the supervisor, she did not want to do it. Fortunately, the supervisor was just a few feet behind her and overheard my request. He came over and looked at the block and told her that there was nothing wrong with taking it on a plane.

Milwaukee Eight Posted March 10, 2021 #1027 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I just checked EBAY and there are ~30 RCL Crystal Blocks for sale. More than I have seen for some time. No Majesty or Empress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check out the sold blocks on EBAY, it shows that two Majesty blocks sold in February and a Monarch block sold this month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USA blocks start at £71. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razl Posted May 11, 2021 #1033 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I will be getting a dup of the Adventure in June. I had my cruises all worked out so I didn't get any dups till covid decided to put the kabob on us sailing. Now I just want to be on a ship, so I will go wherever, when ever, and I don't care what ship, so now I will want to start making some trades. If anyone is interested in an Adventure block, let me know what you would like to get rid of of and we will talk. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeMissSeaView Posted May 11, 2021 #1034 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looking to trade two for one for a Sovereign and/or Splendor. If interested, let me know and what ships you need. Hopefully we can make a deal.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConstantCruiser Posted June 16, 2021 #1035 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Has anyone heard if they are still providing the blocks on Adventure now that she has sailed? Or is this another perk lost to the virus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check with LA to see if other milestones are receiving them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hit 146 last April 2016 and have cruised twice since then. Never received any acknowledgement yet. Turned D+ on last cruise the first week of September. Other than better balcony discount and coupons is there anything else? I’m appreciative of what we get just wondering (like the block) if there is anything we should have received and didn’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Call Royal, then can look up that you hit the 140 milestone and never got a block. They should send you one (for the ship you were in when you hit 140).

Rare island lady Posted June 16, 2021 #1045 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Another suggestion for homes for duplicate blocks. Give them to a favorite crew member. (My sister is tired of getting them for Christmas 😉 ). On a B2B2B last leg, our head waiter was sooo fantastic during the cruise. On the last night of the last leg...we gave him our duplicate Vision block...(along with a healthy cash tip of course)...he was most appreciative of the block more than the money. He almost cried telling us he had been wanting one ever since his room mate kept showing off one he was given. Just sayin'. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them's Gold I have Sovereign, Monarch, Majesty and Empress. All our other blocks are for for ships still in the fleet. Not interested in giving them up quite yet, but I suspect the time will soon come to downsize. I don't think all the blocks will make the cut. Maybe 1 or 2.
