I don’t hate them based on the picture.  
 

I’d really like to know when they are gonna release the new D+ amenity choices.

Based on the picture, they don’t look as nice as the current (I guess now older) ones.

They just did. There is already a thread on it.

of course, when they switched suppliers, the last set of blocks were not ass as nice as the ones before them.

I think you have two words out of order. Shouldn’t as come first?

I never got a crystal block for passing 140.. Is this an automatic process or should I invest some time to make a phone call?

If you want the block, call.

Very tacky

 

Shame, the previous ones were worth collecting

Some of us already had a full set, now it's time to collect V2

Based on the picture I think they look a bit cheap. But that’s based on what they posted. Maybe it’s a bad picture. Glad we just got another one of the original glass blocks yesterday on Serenade.

Cheap and tacky, the value of the original design blocks is sure to increase on EBay.

Title should be "New Plastic Blocks."

I believe it is supposed to be automatic.  However, if you didn't get it on your last sailing, you should call and inquire.

I wonder if they will notice when people stop accepting the new ones.  I don't plan on acquiring any more, if they are only the color ones.

OK friends - before the original crystal blocks become expensive “vintage” items on ebay, let’s do some trading!

 

I have an extra Navigator and a Serenade.  I’d like to trade for a Brilliance, Jewel, Radiance &/or Grandeur.

 

Thanks for considering!

I am fine with any gift I receive. If I do not like it, I won't take it.

I have three of the now older crystal blocks but will pass on any future offers.

We’re still waiting for our Mariner block from our November cruise.  I’ll be interested to see if/ when we get it which one it will be.

When do you get the block?  We will pass 175 points on our next cruise on day 5 of the cruise.  I know we don't get the additional perks for Diamond Plus until the cruise after that one, but do we get the block when we pass the number?

No.  You get the first at 140, then every 70 after.  Your next one would be at 210.

Now my wife wants a new set, recieved all but one of the Oasis class ships, now I have to start over.

At least they didn't raise the points for Pinnacle, here's hoping I can still make it in September

They look cheap and tacky.

 

The best description I has heard was someone has taken a bunch of old brochures, cut out the pictures and stuck them onto the back of a plastic block!! 🙂

140 and every 70 thereafter so next one is due at 210.  If you didn't receive your 140 one call C&A and they will send it - for the ship you were on at 140
