However if you downgrade to non-alcohol package, then you get those included in your package???strange rules at MSC Not true. You can get specialty coffees and juices (but NOT gelato) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From MSC Voyagers Club - Membership Benefits | MSC Cruises (msccruisesusa.com) You are correct, I just made Diamond and it is 100% still there as you pictured it above 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted September 25, 2022 #29 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It's been awhile since we were on MSC. I'm still listed as Diamond on my reservation on their website. I don't recall how I know for sure I have this. Is there a notice in our suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phissy Posted September 25, 2022 #30 Share Posted September 25, 2022 When you do embarkation, your cabin card will be black and say Diamond. You can check with guest services to confirm you get Diamond dinner etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows up on booking and cruise ticket - including on luggage tags. You will need to go to the Specialty Dining host and make your reservation (maybe make a phone call? I went in person on boarding day). Thermal Suite complimentary hour - call or visit spa. Neither are automatically assigned a time. During the cruise, you should receive invitations for any special Diamond receptions. If you are in YC, you can ask a Concierge, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeroplex Posted September 26, 2022 #32 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I got all the benefits but have to be proactive on every single benefit beside the priority boarding for the tender boat 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted September 26, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I checked and it lists Diamond on my cruise ticket and luggage tags.😀 We're in YC so I will check with the Concierge. Anyone know if Teppenaki (sp?) is one of the restaurants available? Specialty restaurants are somewhat wasted on me because I'm never really hungry when I go. I probably eat and drink too much during the day, even though I try not to.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was having lunch as an additional fee, having used my free meal at Butcher’s Cut.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s been a while, check the expiration date on your status. If you don’t cruise every 3 years it expires. They did an extension for COVID but I don’t know for how long.

I last sailed MSC in Nov 2019 and thought my status would expire this year, so went ahead and booked a trip for October this year ... then found out Voyager status was extended by one year, so would have been good through to Nov 2023. Oh well, I think I can still find a way to enjoy my cruise [/s] and reset the clock for another 3 years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shippy Posted September 28, 2022 #41 Share Posted September 28, 2022 We were on the Seashore 2 weeks ago. We chose Butchers Cut for our complementary meal. I asked the waiter if there were any restrictions & he said , No, order what you want. So we did ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Morgsmom Posted September 29, 2022 #47 Share Posted September 29, 2022 @hamrag is 100% correct that you can order anything outside of Butcher's Cut Experience Menu for 50% off. As far as ordering anything you want complimentary, NEVER heard of that. If so, seafood tower and tomahawk for me, please. Nope, not sharing.

What the dining experience menu says is you can replace a dish on the dining experience menu from the ala carte menu for 50%off. Any additional dishes is full price.
