gkbiiii Posted August 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I went on a December cruise and earned my first Crystal Block on that cruise. I was told that I would receive it by February: so in August, where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HicksRA Posted August 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Rather than post that question here, I’d call Crown & Anchor and ask the agent there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted August 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Waiting on 2 Blocks myself from April, but haven't really asked again... As said above get with Crown and Anchor. Few yrs ago could just shoot them an email but since start of CV really slow response and slow in shipping them, but if I was OP Call them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife and I both received blocks on the Freedom back in November 2019 on a b2b cruise but we had no idea why.

WeMissSeaView Posted August 7, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Still waiting for an Odyssey block from August of last year. LA told me last month that they are still on back order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted August 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Also approaching the one year anniversary of my Odyssey block to be. I sailed Odyssey a few more times in the fall and earned a second block in November. Also waiting for my Wonder block from March. Six to eight weeks turned into six to eight months which is turning into double that again. I trust it will show up eventually. Crazy times with supply chain right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted August 7, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2022 LA on Mariner last month said they are back ordered across the entire fleet and they don't expect to be able to start shipping any blocks before November. By then they will owe us three😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted August 7, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I hope that they combine multiple blocks into one shipment. Save on shipping costs. 😉 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted August 7, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I'm just waiting patiently for my 1st from this past May. Was originally told 3-4 months but pretty much just ignoring it. Figure it will show up someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted August 7, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) What do people do with them? Mine have been in the boxes they came in that day I got them and haven't been looked at or taken out of the boxes since then? Plenty of them on ebay, Go for it. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=royal+caribbean+crystal+blocks&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=royal+caribbean+crystal+blocks Edited August 7, 2022 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be backlit and look nice. We don’t have much in the way of nick-nacks or decorative pieces there. Since it’s a smaller space everything needs to have a purpose besides collecting dust. The exception is these and I love them Also missing Odyssey from February. I did receive Jewel from March in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JessyCruises Posted August 15, 2022 #24 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I sailed on Allure in November 2021 and just got my block today. I got a notification from UPS last week that something was headed my way from Zing Manufacturing in Tempe AZ. I had absolutely no idea what it was until it arrived today. Here is what the notification looks like in my UPS account. I guess Zing is who makes them for RCL now. Still waiting for Odyssey from August 2021 but as others mentioned they have never been available since the ship launched. Hopefully this Zing place is the new vendor and will start cranking them out. I only have 2 others (Liberty & Ovation) but this new one is definitely a little bigger. Same height and length but a little deeper. I don’t know if that has always been the case? Allure is on the left, Liberty is on the right Edited August 15, 2022 by JessyCruises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always ask for my blocks on the ship, don't want to wait for them. Only thing we have to wait for right now is our Pinnacle Kit, since they cannot give us that on the ship.
