MSC Current Status Match Tables

[yesornocruising]

I have Carnival Gold (11 days from Platinum) and Hilton Diamond. I sent both in because I forgot about the HHonors one originally. They sent me a Diamond status match within 12 hours. It's on my booking already. YAY.

Does anyone have the status match levels downloaded?  It looks like MSC took the off the link to use.

Also, looking at the MSC page, it shows a type of progress bar and indicates "5700 points
to reach Black Level"... ok... so what's Black Level ??

 MSC black and diamond are the same. I think they changed the official name from Black to Diamond. At any rate, they are identical whichever name is mentioned.

Princess Platinum to MSC Gold.

None of the perks are game changers, but nice nonetheless.

We got Carnival Gold to MSC Silver. 

Wondering if anyone here has done a status match with Club Med? We have status there too. 

[linz98144]

Also though we were told we had MSC Silver, on our account online this is not listed. Does it usually update slow? 

[SweetsugarNL]

Do i need to do the status match before i make a cruise booking? I would like to book with a TA who’s not use the extra discount.

[bluenose66]

gold match also got 4300 points 

[SweetsugarNL]

I have send a form. Fingers crossed.

This link looks dead, does anyone have the file? Interested in finding out what P&O status matches to

[EggsyH]

Just matched GOLD from Norwegian Platinum.

[SweetsugarNL]

They send me a newsletter but not a voyage nr yet. How long does this takes?

NCL Platinum now matches to Gold I believe.

 

At the time my NCL Platinum matched to Black - can't remember exactly when but very early on in the programme.

Makes sense, I just went through the match process and my NCL Gold matched to MSC Silver.

What MSC level match did anyone receive for Wyndham Hotel Diamond? 

[Chrish2]

 

Just spotted this on MSC's UK website "Status Match Plus". Seems to be an improvement over the existing program of matching status

 

https://www.msccruises.co.uk/cruise-deals/status-match-plus

 

 Status Match Plus
What will take your favourite cruise to the next level?
Our Status Match Plus Programme!

Are you new to cruising or do you want to try your first cruise with MSC Cruises?

 

If you are a member of another cruise line’s, hotel or tour operator’s loyalty programme then you can match your status to MSC Voyagers Club with our Status Match Programme and only for a limited time, with the NEW Status Match Plus programme, you can now move to the next tier by booking a cruise with us.

 

What does this mean?
If you are a Silver member of another cruise line, hotel or tour operator loyalty scheme, we will not just match your status to our MSC Voyagers Club, but we will move your status to the next tier to enjoy even greater privileges. So your MSC Voyagers Club status will be Gold instead of Silver!

Interesting.

 

What is "late checkout"?

 

Tom

[SweetsugarNL]

What is the normal turnover time to get an answer?

Has anyone used this offer?

 

STATUS MATCH PLUS OFFER

 

Terms & Conditions:

Offer is applicable to new bookings made between September 7, 2022, through November 30, 2022, and departure dates from November 1, 2022, through February 28, 2023. Diamond and Gold status match clients are excluded. New MSC Voyagers Club members who have successfully completed a Status Match will be upgraded one level above their status prior to cruise departure. A Status Match request must be approved before confirming the booking number. World Cruise is excluded. Offer is not combinable with MSC Voyagers Club offers.

 

Does this mean if I request a match and get matched to silver, and if I booked a cruise 9/7-11/30 for 11/1-2/28, that I will actually be bumped up to Gold status permanently? 

 

Thanks!  

 

Did anyone use this and get the bump up? When did it happen? I requested a match, booked a cruise and am sailing on Sunday. I'm still at silver and should be gold.  I emailed and the response was after the cruise but this clearly says PRIOR to cruise departure.

Still wondering how this applies to MSC cruises. I can't say I've ever been offered such a thing on other lines!

Late check out is one of those perks that is totally dependent on your ship and time of sailing. We asked for it and were told we could stay in cabin until 8 am instead of vacating cabin at 7:30 am.

Late check out applies to cabin occupancy only. Time to vacate the ship stays the same for everyone onboard.

[SweetsugarNL]

Still no response.

Just finished 1st MSC cruise.  I had submitted Princess Elite status and received Diamond (black card) top level with MSC.  Priority check in line, priority tender tickets delivered to cabin night before, no further request required.  Disembarkation sent bags off at night, and we were in second group off the ship after self help.  Ate breakfast till 8 then went right off the ship.  The status was worth it.  Now we need to cruise 1 time every 3 years to maintain the status.

What ship were you? You didn’t find it absolutely offensive I’ve never been on a cruise line. Worse than MSC.
