Glass blocks

[setsail]

There are 2 blocks for sale and plenty of instant status pins if one is looking

What do other C&A members do with their status pins? To wear them (regardless of level) seems showy to me, but personally I wear very little in the way of jewelry and accessories. I have mine sitting on a shelf at home, collecting dust.

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice gesture from RCI, but they're of little practical value to me. Too bad you don't get a choice of amenity instead.

When I'm presented with a block that I already have I find either a honeymoon couple or a 1st time cruiser and give it to them.:)

We have never worn our diamond pins. Can't wait to see the diamond plus gift!

 

We were on The Liberty when we should have gotten our block. It did not appear and we don't mind.

I've been lucky enough to trade our doubles with folks who have blocks that we don't have.

Haven't gotten a duplicate yet. I try and plan for it ;)

We should be getting our D+ pins on our anniversary cruise next month. I say should, because as of yet we have never gotten any. Same for the blocks. Out of them when we were eligible, told to call C&A. We did, but said it was too late, nothing they could do. It would have been Serenade but I sure am not going to pay to have it. Already did that for all the cruises to reach that stage.

Personally, I'd rather have something like a specialty dining credit than a laser-etched glass block. I've already got too many chotchkies at home and am trying to cut down. Would rather make the room on my shelves for various collector LEGO sets I have waiting to be assembled :D

Wow...I just realized through that link that I'm sitting on a veritable gold mine of shot glasses! ;)

I've got 100 ready to drop off at Goodwill.

Not a bad idea, but then what will catch all the dust?

Ahhh....silly me! :D

I have wondered if these blocks are from active cruisers or from estates

My guess is active cruisers. Given some of the asking prices, they are trying to finance a future cruise. :)

A friend picked one up at Goodwill for about $1, likely from an estate. I've had a few duplicates that I have had success in trading for ships I had been on.

I'm fine collecting them as we sailed, but I wish I could have gotten an Enchantment. Really don't feel like driving down to Miami now.

A few months back there was a set of pinnacle club luggage tags on there for 3$ and change. I posted on cc about the tags and the next day the price had been bid up to 29$ and change:D

There are a lot of people with multiples of Enchantment blocks. If you had a duplicate I'm sure you could find someone who would like to trade.

No doubt, but I don't have duplicates yet. Maybe an Oasis down the road. The next three or four are pretty much locked up with existing bookings

Not really sure what a "block" is or what you do with it.

 

Most of the other stuff people are selling is just junk the cruiseline gives away.

 

I think we just gave a big box of stuff to Goodwill recently.

 

However I did like the small ship models and we bought about 4 of them.

 

But like typical cruiseline fashion, they jacked the prices up & up till it was no longer worth it...

I'm guessing if you aren't familiar, you probably don't have one.

I've never seen them, but they look kind of cool....

[John&LaLa]

They weigh about 2 pounds. I like them. You are supposed to get one when you reach 140 cruises points and then every 70 points thereafter

I am not a collector of such things.
