Splendor crystal block sold on e-Bay last November for $500. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ROYAL-CARIBBEAN-Cruise-Line-SPLENDOUR-OF-THE-SEAS-Crystal-BLOCK-PAPERWEIGHT/323547230405?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908103841%26meid%3D8ad454b010384f1ab1c92f170b9ef580%26pid%3D100227%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D11%26sd%3D323547230405%26itm%3D323547230405&_trksid=p2054502.c100227.m3827

A long 2 years away. Hope your excitement will last that long.

Agree. Suggest that the prior poster read the prior posts on this thread.

Good news. Simona was kind of dry on the Feb 25th Jewel cruise, especially during the Love & Marriage event.

Agree. Personnel changes occur often

Made a bid for the March 25 Panama Canal Cruise on the Jewel. Never received an e-mail saying our bid was not accepted.

Zero. Boarding Jewel now.

The Jewel in 2 days.

I would be most upset also. Sure sounds like some misleading advertising. The picture of your new stateroom looks more like a Jr. Suite. Recommend that you keep calling RCCL customer service to cancel your upgrade ($1,000 refund) and get your original stateroom back.

Partially agree. We would not want a crystal block on a cruise ship that we have not sailed on. Getting crystal blocks on the 70 point milestone mark are most memorable. Equally memorable are getting a block by trade on cruise ships that we have previously sailed. We have great memories of our cruises on the Voyager, Enchantment, Majesty, and Sovereign.

Crystal Block Trade: I have two duplicate Freedom of the Seas crystal blocks (both new in the original box). I would like to trade one of them for one of the following: Voyager Enchantment Majesty Sovereign If interested in a trade, send me an e-mail (delitchfield at aol dot com). Thanks. Dennis

The new Concierge on the Freedom of the Seas is Dudley Jean (effective Jan. 20, 2019). Before this date, he was the Diamond Concierge. The new Diamond Concierge is Fabio Arena Dias.

We have never received an offer to bid on an upgrade. All of our current bookings are for a Jr. Suite.

Sorry to hear of your dilemma with Sunday departures from San Juan. Being retired, it really does not matter to us what day of the week we depart.
