Jasukkie Posted March 20, 2022 #1203 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I filled out the form to have my block mailed to me on my last cruise, now they're offering me another one to have mailed. Double Blocks promotion? I have been racking up the points but not that much. I still haven't received that one though so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank808 Posted March 20, 2022 #1205 Share Posted March 20, 2022 No Navigator blocks available onboard. Got a card asking for address to have block sent when it becomes available. The only other choice said we are loyal to royal and do not need the block. Only received one card in my wife's cabin and none in my inside cabin(doing the John and LaLa technique 😉). Got to love the 42 points for sailing solo in a suite. Couple hundred more points to get to the magic level! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted March 21, 2022 #1206 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I requested my Anthem block to be mailed back in early December. Nothing received yet. Will earn an Enchantment block next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no blocks available on the ship, so I filled out the form to have one mailed to me. It arrived two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other ships have a template complete so the new vendor can pick up manufacturing those blocks more easily. Odyssey and Wonder do not have a template to work from so the initial design must be completed first. No ETA offered for that. Oh well. I have one owed to me from Odyssey Dec 4 sailing, and I will be due another one this weekend on Odyssey. Guess it will be a while. In between, Freedom does owe me one as well, maybe that will come sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbonner Posted March 21, 2022 #1210 Share Posted March 21, 2022 A lot of the delay diatribe comes from the incapable new handling company that works on Royal's behalf. We received our stuff in February which was submitted by the LA in September '20. W/r to the shipments we received status updates from UPS after the company mailed them - the first delivery went wrong to MS, the second delivery went to a FL family, the third delivery reached Germany and was returned by customs as they forgot to pay custom dues, the fourth delivery reached us after 8 weeks with UPS 😵 Remember: the cheapest handling company is not necessarily the best company. But maybe one of Royal's capable IT-managers started one's own business...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will earn an Enchantment block next week. We were on Enchantment in January. We had our block mailed to us. It arrived a few weeks ago. We were on Anthem in February and our friend we were traveling with received his block in his room. He carried it off the ship! Supply and demand is crazy.

SRF Posted March 21, 2022 #1212 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Still looking for a Grandeur block if anyone has one they would part with. I have done ALL my cruises on Grandeur, but will hit the first block on Enchantment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted March 21, 2022 #1213 Share Posted March 21, 2022 After three months we finally got our Pinnacle package with the Stratum...etc. Same thing...UPS notification and then two boxes delivered. Great packaging, but they never secured the pins...all banged up...but no big deal. The second box...was someone else's package! Called CS to have them pick up and resend to rightful owners...after an hour on hold, they told me to throw it away, and will resend new to the other new Pinnies. What a waste! At least I did try. Indeed that new company is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they have people loading the items in the boxes and it’s not automated, so eyes are being laid on the shoddy workmanship before they seal up the packages and send them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked politely where it was mailed. He said "Switzerland". We live in Ca. 😬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandebeach Posted March 22, 2022 #1219 Share Posted March 22, 2022 We turned Pinnace on Wonder. At the Recognition Ceremony we did pictures with a crystal stratum, which they said we would receive in a few weeks as part of the "Pinnacle package". Will we also get a crystal block for Wonder?

kccrzr Posted April 15, 2022 #1225 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I just received a spare Vision block. I would like to exchange it for an Ovation, Anthem or Liberty. Anyone interested in an exchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
