stoneman56 Posted November 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Am I missing something here? I thought as a VC member we got a 5% discount on booking. I've just did a couple of dummies on the MSC UK site and whether I put in my VC number or not the price comes out the same. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it's not giving you a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted November 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I don't know how the UK site works but on the US site, each mock booking requires you to re-enter your VC number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite, but you can get to the next page with pricing without entering a VC number. So I did one booking entering my number, cleared the cache, then did the same booking again this time without using a number and the price came out the same, so there was no apparent discount.

What does work correctly for me is Goto www.msccruises.com enter Europe as your country, select the cruise you want, enter your VC number and the price drops by 5% as it should. Remember Goto a good TA and they will discount this MSC price by a further 12%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely get my 5% reduction for adding my VC number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted November 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2019 This issues seems to work on some cruises but not on others, last week I priced Virtuosa and the 5% was taken off, did the same for Preziosa from Southampton and nothing changed.

perakcruiser Posted November 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Many offers like MSC Specials can not be combined with the VC discount. So that is why the price does not change. Edited November 25, 2019 by perakcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted November 25, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) PC ... That is true but has nothing to do with pricing a new cruise or cruises. Edited November 25, 2019 by sidari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perakcruiser Posted November 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Well, if TO did "couple of dummies" and no price change after entering VC number, than probably this is the reason. Certainly can also be one of the many website glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted November 25, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2019 PC ... While I understand what you say the website does not take into account any vouchers that you may have for a reduction in the price, that can only be done by either MSC or a Travel Agent.
