maxim1010 Posted April 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Submitted docs and received a match. My question is has we're already booked on existing first MSC cruise: is the upgraded status immediate? Will we receive all of the benefits immediately with the first cruise? For example, priority boarding upon entered terminal or do we have to wait till on ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would bring a copy of your Voyager Club info with you in the event you need to prove your status.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruizin'Kath Posted April 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If Gold is traveling with Black, are both able to use priority boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicia Posted April 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Make sure your luggage tags show you as Black. My husband showed Black but I showed Classic. I called and had my status corrected. I also had my docs re-sent with both of us showing Black level. We'll know in two weeks if everything really works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesa1721 Posted April 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If Gold is traveling with Black' date=' are both able to use priority boarding?[/quote'] Only Black will have priority boarding,,,but more than likely your Gold level traveling companion will be able to priority board with you,,a nice tip will usually do the trick!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeholdfriends Posted April 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I am new to the MSC site. We are looking at booking the British Isles cruise in August of 2017. So, I keep seeing something called a status match. Can someone describe what this is? It sounds like they honor your status from other cruise lines but I am not sure of that. If so, what cruise lines do they match? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seacruise9 Posted April 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi, Does anyone know how long it usually takes to receive a response regarding a status match request? Thanks, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted April 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Mine took a couple of hours but that's on the UK site. Also check your junk/spam folder. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthom70 Posted April 25, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2016 hmmm, my husband is still waiting for a reply for his status change, he submitted 1 week ago. We are coming over as Elite with Celebrity. Somehow when I booked this back in Dec 2015 the MSC booking person only recorded my info as Black and not his.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacruise9 Posted April 25, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi, I sent my request one week ago (proof that I am Royal Caribbean Diamond level), but never heard anything back. I have checked my junk/spam folder. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
