On a recent Allure B2B we ordered C&A towels as one of our three gifts. Actually the gift is for 2 towels so we came home with 4. (Two towels on each leg of the back 2 back). We were happy to have the towels as we found we weren’t drinking the wine gift. m That's why I went towels for a spell. Allure on 10/17 didn't have any, or not enough. On Indy the LA told me she gets a few every once in a while but not enough to satisfy demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onboard the ship fully vaccinated passengers are not required to wear a mask inside or outside. Hmm...strange it is so opposite on the sister lines. 😮 Maybe more younger families with RCI perhaps?

BND Posted December 16, 2021 #129 Share Posted December 16, 2021 We're D+ and had our Cheers lunch with an officer on our b2b Nov 28 and Dec 5 (so two weeks in a row). Food the first week was good, second week not so much. The "filet" tasted like a piece of roast beef. Also, can do without the wine. Chardonnay is very oaky (I cant' stand oaky wine) and the red was just okay. We went the second week because the first week it was so good. Anyway, beyond a couple of officers coming by to say hello, it wasn't anything special, although we did meet two other couples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both weeks, I had a wonderful filet...and both weeks Bucky had a bad one. Hit and miss for sure. Learning from the first week, we hand carried in a full glass of good wine to enjoy through lunch on the second week. 😉 Indeed the interaction from the nice conversations made the meal. The "Cheers" seemed forced and silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted December 16, 2021 #133 Share Posted December 16, 2021 If the calculations say you turn 700 on the last night of cruise A and the following day you start cruise B…. When would you get the glass block etc? I can see this slipping through the system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The block could be there waiting for you on day one or it could arrive mid-cruise or after the top tier. Just like any other cruise when you get a block. If you are crossing 700 on cruise #1 the LA should be seeking you out anyways so ask them. If they don't seek you out, go visit them during desk hours. Edit to add: The stratum, the pinnacle specific crystal "mini-tower" comes in a package months afterwards. The block you receive at 700 on the ship is a standard ship block.

I didn't get that standard block. Really did not think much of it, since I will be getting the "pointy" one anyway. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a duplicate for me. It's just a block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few to my little sister who is about to hit her D+ mark, and the best one was on Vision B2B2B before Covid shut down. Vision block was yet another duplicate. We had a fantastic head waiter that we adored. We gave it to him. You would have thought we gave him a million dollars...he was so happy he almost cried! Told us his room mate had one and was always envious of it. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
