I have them with several crystal golf trophies that my husband has won over the years. One day I hope each of our children will use them as a paperweight and remember our love for cruising. I have mine stack up in a pyramid. When the setting sun shines on them, they throw a prism out. I also have 2 blocks that I got the HD and Captain to autograph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cru1s1ng2009 Posted July 14, 2021 #57 Share Posted July 14, 2021 ok i am dumb. I thought Crystal was a new ship they were building. So does this mean they arent building it anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DCPIV Posted July 14, 2021 #60 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We passed on the two we earned, but I don't mean to "yuk" anyone's "yum." It breaks my heart a little to see this go away, but I suppose it's another expression of how RC has been changing the substance of its brand over time. Now, losing the reduced upgrades. That might really hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. That sucks since we aren’t due to get our second one until our cruise in January on the Allure. They will probably be gone by then. I really wanted some more. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lugged two of them home from Europe one year when they played catch-up. I had to throw out all my clothes and buy new when we got home. 😄 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same thing. If the C&A point recognition blocks are no longer given, I would assume the Pinnacle stratums to recognize point levels will also be gone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted July 14, 2021 #67 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Anyone that doesn’t want theirs I’ll gladly trade a ride from PE to FLL in exchange for one. Yes I know I can buy them cheap from ebay, but I would also get to meet some people. I have a Denali so luggage shouldn’t be a problem. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager70 Posted July 14, 2021 #70 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Even though I enjoyed getting the crystal blocks mine have made a home in the "miscellaneous stuff" cupboard I rarely open. I guess I won't miss them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yea, 60% leaving is total BS! We also will miss the blocks and agree the 60% seems crazy. Edited July 14, 2021 by lovesthebeach2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the formal night! Formal night on a cruise is one of the few times we get to, “Put on the Ritz” anymore.

I was looking forward to get a block on Grandeur in February, especially since she was our first Rcl sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
