Actually our youngest son wore it on a cruise a few years ago and got so many comments on it...many asked if he would sell it to them. RCI should definitely bring them back....much cooler than those casino shirts. That is staying power! Mine wore out a long time ago, alas. And I agree, much cooler than the casino shirts. We should send another pleading email! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramja96 Posted July 15, 2021 #127 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Apparently RC has had a change of heart and the crystal blocks ARE NOT going away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the cancellations being L&S'd to 2022 we ended up with a B2B2B where we would have received two blocks between when we got on and when we got off. We were going to give the second one back to the LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a major problem with cruising. The more times a shirt goes on a ship, the more it seems to shrink for the next cruise. I just don't understand why! 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just threw out about 3 dozen of the "loving cups" that JC just mentioned but fortunately I hung onto about 2 dozen of the glass shooters that they used to peddle in the dining room. I dragged those home from Europe too. We could set up a nice classy tasting of those rums.. We were on a NYE cruise on Brilliance when they were having a clearance sale on obsolete glassware, and we bought them for $1 apiece. Gave as Christmas gifts the next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rather quick "Never mind!" change like this can only lead one to start taking odds on Nancy Ramos' future w/RCL. Announce the demise of Crystal Blocks one day and have your boss override it the next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the calls for Nancy's demise are way too premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping things like treasured glass blocks seems like a minimum trying to reduce debt effort. Besides, all those blocks people left onboard means they don't need to have so many made, they can just use those. They ought to be glad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstel Posted July 15, 2021 #138 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I am nowhere close to 140 points so have never gotten one. Didn't even know what they were or that this existed till this thread. But you could count me in the 60% that would leave it in the room as I have no interest in cheap tchotchkes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovescats5 Posted July 15, 2021 #144 Share Posted July 15, 2021 So excited they will keep the crystal blocks. We will be getting one on Quantum next Sept. on our Alaska cruise. They could get rid of the pins though, except for maybe the Pinns. We just throw the pins in a drawer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might have one but without climbing the stairs I can not confirm. I did get a luggage tag once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
