Crown Anchor 25th anniversary giveaways

[cruisegirl1]

I don’t need anything else either but I guess whatever it is will be for sale on EBay before the ship arrives back at port.

We got those on our Christmas cruise, too (plus a beach bag and backpack). I just assumed it was a suite gift.

I got those too for being in a OS, I thought, but we are Pinn too so??????

Anyone sailing now that is diamond plus and above? Crown Anchor is supposed to be doing giveaways to those categories to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Can anybody tell me what the items might be that they are giving away?

Nothing on the Explorer.

All they have are little dispensers with one tiny hole. It takes 5 minutes to get three flakes of pepper or salt out.  

I love hot/spicy food.  Whenever I get those damned one hole pepper shakers, I take the top off and pour the pepper on.  I've go too much fat on my body to be jiggling up and down :).  

 

BTW, when will restaurants learn to put a few grains of rice in the salt shaker?  Why is a "freeway" not free?

Beans in the salt shaker not rice. The rice can brake up and clog the holes.

WOW, that's news to me.  We've been doing rice for years/decades.  But, Beans may be worth trying.

And why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?!?!?

Different strokes.  I actually thought it was one of the best cakes they ever had.

Because the original parkway went through a park. And the original driveway is the way you drive from your house to the road.

I am hoping for 5 cookies instead of 3 cookies on a plate, that I can get myself.  Maybe a free keychain.  But if I hit the jackpot of gifts, a highlighter so I can highlight activities on the non existant daily planner.

How about a Royal polo shirt that I would wear proudly.😊

We own about a dozen beach towels and totes. It's a nice thought but we wish there was something more useful or desirable.

All the totes we got, the zippers failed within a year, in the trash!

As anyone that is currently onboard asked the LA about this?  Sorry if I missed it

On the Explorer. We booked a 14 night TA for October and at the end of discussion, the LA said "would you like a bottle of champagne?" Heck yea! Never happened to us before!

[cruiselvr04]

We couldn’t even get the LA on Oasis to deliver our second bottle of wine because they were out of totes, towels etc.  It wasn’t worth another trip to her desk….

We still have toiletry bags from C&A that we received on a Jewel sailing in 2004 that we use on every cruise. I would love to get more if they are back.

I still have a fanny pack and lots of Casino key chains.🤣

Looks like for our upcoming cruise tomorrow we're getting a Royal Caribbean Crown and Anchor towel.   I had called in on a different subject and when I received my email confirmation it showed "CROWN & ANCHOR TOWEL 06 JAN 2023 Guest Cabin $1.95".  

 

I didn't even realize we were valued as much.  🙂

Great to cut up and make towels for the garage.

We got C&A-logoed toiletry bags with their Sea+Salt products. This was from our Christmas cruise, but we don't know specifically why we got these. Someone else (another passenger) we asked didn't know anything about it. 🤷‍♂️

Back in the early days, some ships would give a gift at Christmas. Perhaps that's the case?

I use a lot of black pepper, so I always have to pull the bottom stopper out. It's amazing how many big flakes come out that will never fit out the regular holes.
