Question about OBC

[archer_310]

We've booked our first cruise with MSC, then did a status match with Disney and were awarded Diamond.  We booked the current offer which gives free drinks, wifi and $50 OBC.  My question is this:  Reading the perks you get with Voyagers Club, it says that if you book a cruise that departs between 12 months and 9 months, you get the 5% discount, plus double points, plus a $50 OBC.  I know we got the discount, but should I qualify for an extra $50 OBC - or do I only get it once from the offer?

Also, regarding points.  If I'm now Diamond even though I haven't even sailed MSC yet, is there any advantage to further collecting points as Diamond seems to be the highest you can attain with MSC?

You should get the $ 50 OBC credit also, if booked at least 9 months ahead. You MAY have to check with Guest Services once you board to make sure it was applied, from my experience. 
 

The only advantage in earning additional points, unless MSC updates their current rewards, is that you keep your Diamond status if you sail at least once every three years.. Otherwise your status and points go back to zero and you have to start over.
