Cruiser 5452 Posted September 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2023 On next sailing in October, I hit the 140 day milestone. I believe that qualifies me for my first crystal block. Question is….Do yo receive the crystal block while you are in that sailing, or do they send it to you in the mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted September 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2023 If they have it in stock on the ship they should provide it on the ship. If it's out of stock they will offer to ship it. There was a phase they went through where they offered to ship them on a form in the cabin but I think they realized that cost a lot of money and was pretty labor intensive to manage so they only seem to ship now when they don't have them on hand. Drop by the loyalty ambassador when you board and confirm they have you down for one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted September 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2023 For my last two crystal blocks, they were placed in my cabin early during the cruise (day two and day three respectively). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will find out in November on Serenade when we hit our next block cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted September 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2023 We were offered to have 2 blocks shipped since they were out on Navigator. Have not gotten any of those blocks, so called C&A. Rep found what ship we were missing those 2 blocks from and requested them to be sent out. Our cruise this week on Brilliance we shall receive another block. I am thinking that it will be in our cabin. The only time we were offered blocks to ship to us was due to ship not having them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted September 12, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2023 So how big are these? I believe my wife earns 1 on our upcoming cruise out of Southampton. Have to make sure we have luggage space after spending 2 weeks in London Pre-cruise and then coming back to the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originals weigh 2.4 pounds, because they are lead crystal. 4" x 3.5" x 2" That's for the block itself. The box is larger, of course, because it's padded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYMAN Posted September 12, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2023 My DS26 with his small collection of Blocks after 75 cruises with RCCL. Also, his two coke bottles from the 2009 Oasis sailing.....blocks look good when the stands are lit up. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
