freeholdfriends Posted February 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2017 hello, I am new to Celebrity. i am platinum on Carnival. I have cruised on Princess and currently have a cruise booked on MSC and NCL. We are looking at cancelling our NCL cruise and upgrade to Celebrity. MSc matched my platinum staus and I recently read that RCCL also matches. Can anyone tell me if Celebrity will match my platinum status? Thanks for any info.

oneputt18 Posted February 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Celebrity, Royal caribbean and Azamara match loyalty among themselves but do not match status of other cruise lines. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted February 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Where did you read that RCCL matches status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeholdfriends Posted February 25, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Where did you read that RCCL matches status? I was reading some reviews on RCCL and a poster mentioned it. I was quite surprised as I had never heard that before. Sorry that I don't remember what thread it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted February 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Sorry, you received incorrect information. As said before only Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara match. Celebrity and RCCL match to the Diamond and Elite levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeholdfriends Posted February 25, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the quick answers. It did sound to good to be true but, nothing lost by asking. I think we are going to book the British Isles cruise. Everyone I speak to always rave over Celebrity. Time to upgrade:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to upgrade:D I've occasionally heard of airlines offering top tier travellers on another airline equivalent frequent flyer status with them, as an incentive to switch brand loyalty- but not heard of that from cruise lines (unfortunately!!)- but maybe someone got lucky once!

Only MSC will do this, match your status on any other cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricka47 Posted February 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Only MSC will do this, match your status on any other cruise line. I didn't know that - thanks for the information. I've seen their ships but I don't know much else about them - Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosoxI Posted February 25, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I didn't know that - thanks for the information. I've seen their ships but I don't know much else about them - Rick[/quote There is a procedure to follow; one just doesn't board a MSC ship with a Celebrity Elite card to claim the benefit. But it is quite easy and in my case it was accomplished in a matter of hours. Others have said it took them longer. If you're in Yacht Club (lucky you), I don't think there's any benefit, as they already treat you royally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
