cmdchiefthom Posted August 30, 2019 #101 Share Posted August 30, 2019 My HAL and NCL cruise history was submitted to MSC through my cruise agent and I was given Black Card status last April. I booked an upcoming 11 nights in the Yacht Club aboard the MSC Divina in February, followed by a B2B 14 nights in the Yacht Club, aboard the MSC Seaside in March. My Black Card status followed me on both of these bookings with no problem.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabacruisers Posted September 7, 2019 #102 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hello to you all! We are contemplating booking our first MSC cruise early next year and have been reading this informative thread. I still have lots to learn/research regarding MSC but was wondering if for my first question, you all may be able to answer it. For the status match, has anyone used Cunard? We are platinum with Cunard and was wondering what match we will most like receive. Also, what kind of confirmation documents do you need to show them? Thank you most kindly, in advance!

cmdchiefthom Posted September 8, 2019 #103 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hello Mate, I would contact Cunard directly and request your sailing history record be mailed to you. They would have a record of your sailings which they would have used to award you Platinum status. You would then either forward the Cunard document to your travel agent, or MSC directly, requesting a Status Match for your upcoming cruise.😉 Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celebrity and Captains club main page only shows my first name along with status and points. I can’t fit all the info they are asking for in one photo. Thank you! I'm in the same boat as you! No matter where I go on that website, I cannot get all the info they want on one page..... Have looked at every tab and section I can pull up-no luck. Tried on Royal Caribbean and it's the same issue. Anyone have any other suggestions?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached two screen shots of my full name, status (D+) and points. After more than two weeks I received an email saying since I didnt have a cruise booked with them they can't status match me. Huh? Didn't know that was a requirement. They told me to resend everything when I have a booking. We have since decided not to try MSC and stick with our favorites.

Curious as to a screen shot of what, specifically? The only info I could get up on either Royal or Celebrity was spaced out over 3 pages, nothing shoed all the info they wanted on 1 page. Am I missing something? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you log in to RCI click on My Account and then settings. I took a screen shot of the top of the page which includes your first name, Crown & Anchor #, status and points. Then scroll down to About Me which has your full name, date of birth, address and C&A number. That is all the information they need. Good luck.

PAsailors2 Posted September 18, 2019 #109 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks for all your insights and reporting! Has anyone used, or does MSC accept time share level? We are Titanium Elite with MarriottBonvoy and Chairman’s Club with Marriott time share-which is the highest level. Wondering if that would get us more than the Titanium Elite?

Nymich Posted September 20, 2019 #111 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Not sure why but it would only allow one card. I was not able to send my multiple status on different lines?

That will give you the highest status match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolebludger Posted September 26, 2019 #114 Share Posted September 26, 2019 What does Gold status match to on MSC? And what benefits would such a match give us? By way of further info, we would be booking YC on MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandguy Posted September 27, 2019 #115 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I just received the status match email from MSC. Princess Platinum to MSC Gold 4300 points.

FengShui@Sea Posted September 30, 2019 #117 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I am well into Elite Plus with Celebrity (close to 1,400 points) and was given Gold on MSC. The person with post #106 was given the same (Gold) as a Celebrity Select passenger. It seems to be a very broad range of loyalty statuses going into Gold.

Tssweety Posted September 30, 2019 #118 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Still waiting on status match. Its been 8 days. I don't even know if they are processing it and we leave in 3 weeks.

Proseccoandsun Posted October 2, 2019 #122 Share Posted October 2, 2019 For those using Marriott to status match, what did you show them as proof? When logged into the Marriott account, it only shows first name not last with the status level. MSC won't accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's all about your timing. They seemed to be a bit more generous handing out black cards a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
