I say surprised because four years ago when we were in the South Pacific on Explorer I earned my first block. We were on our second leg of a B2B. I have not sailed Royal since the 50th anniversary sailing ( remember that one John?) following the South Pacific cruise but have sailed Celebrity ( spent 49 days on three ships this past winter) We had 188 points prior to this sailing so no block should of been delivered. Assuming that this was at least a 6-day cruise, you still should have gotten a block on that cruise, if it was booked before September 30, 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked this cruise back in 2020 to be taken in 2021 but with covid moved it to 2022. Was there some bonus points going on?I am now at 202 points. Was at 188 prior to this 7 day cruise. Being in a suite 2 points per night is another 14 points. It’s first block at 140 then one every 70 points. I am 8 points short of the 70 points. 🤔 Cheers!

Rare island lady Posted May 17, 2022 #1280 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I am, points wise anyway, set to receive yet another block on Harmony next week. Already received two, and gave one away already. Don't have any more Harmony cruises booked, which will help. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in a suite 2 points per night is another 14 points. All sailings through the end of this year which were booked before 9/30/2021 earn double the normal number of points - for a 7 day sailing in a suite you should get 28 points if the above criteria is met.

So starting at 188, you'd get two points per night for being in a suite and then that was doubled because the cruise was booked before 9/30/21, so instead of 14 points (regular point plus suite point = 2x7=14) you'd get 28 points (regular point plus suite point is two, doubled to four = 4x7=28) on this last cruise. 188+28=216, and you get the next block at 210.

I was lucky and got triple points and double. ever heard of 42 points for a 7 day cruise. Yup I almost fell over when I saw it a couple of days ago.

Solo in a regular room is two points, doubled under last year's promotion is four points per night. Solo in a Junior Suite or above is three points, doubled under last year's promotion is six points per night. If you got six points per night in a room that wasn't a JS or above, you just got lucky.

Since my cabin was changed last minute, things were still going to old cabin, so she went to back room and grabbed me one. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
