Just got an email from UPS. Looks like our first ever block from Harmony 5/29 is on its way!

 

Think I was told 4 months when I had to call about it in June after the cruise so I’m going to consider it a month or so early.

Anthem LA   The LA said she ordered your anthem block but didn’t and I would still be waiting till the year 3000 had I believed her.   She assured me my loyalty level would be acknowledged on my third b2b2b cruise and I would get the lunch with an officer, my extra loyalty perk of wine and would email my request for the block.   Step in Stacey the diamond lounge ambassador who personally sent me a bottle of wine, thanks Stacey, and took up my gripe with the LA who assured her I had been informed everything was in hand.   Well I didn’t get the lunch and on return home I called C&A to check if block ordered and was informed it was not.   
 

RCI needs to make sure their loyalty ambassadors really are ambassadors and not someone on a jolly courtesy of the customers.   A big disappointment.

Glad the block is in the mail! 
 

They must have gotten another shipment because we received our Harmony block on board a couple weeks ago .

Same, I had to call C&A D+ desk and they could not find my order.  They requested it again.  It's been some 4 weeks since.

 

Ps.  You did not miss much on the lunch.  Only 4 Paxs in the American Icon and the officer and assistant simply just about waved and never sat down.  So disappointed.

Post-COVID, they're doing "cheers with an officer" rather than "lunch with an officer".  The officers stand up front, introduce themselves, and then raise their glass in a toast.  The only people you have lunch with are the other CAS members.

Our Jewel 26th cruise a card was left in our cabin to fill out to have our 5th block mailed to us.

Didn't bother. I would just have to mail it to John&LaLa to find a home for it.

Again, thanks John for finding homes for the others.

Anyone received an Odyssey block lately?  Still waiting on block from 1/29/22 sailing. C&A desk won’t provide any timeframe.  

Still waiting on Odyssey block from October.

I am looking for an Explorer or Empress block if you need help getting rid of blocks 🙂

I had a friend fill in my address on the card for her duplicate Grandeur block and it arrived to my house about 8 weeks later! 🙂  May as well use RCI's postage costs to get to its final destination!

Be careful as I got a text supposedly from UPS and thought of your post that a crystal block was coming.  However, the text looked fishy and I did not open the link to reschedule the delivery as UPS did not recognize the data on the text and also looked it up by my address.   
 

Nothing was pending 

 

Will have to call the D+ desk.

Thanks but mine is legit. It's in my UPS My Choice account and is coming from Tempe, AZ under the name "Zing Manufacturing" which others have mentioned is what theirs have said. It's making its way across the country as I type this and is currently in Texas.

Good to hear, still waiting for my first after our May cruise.
