4 day cruises and platinum status

[Mikiejag]

It seems that there are no benefits for cruises less than 5 days.  Is this true or am I not looking hard enough.

 

Thanks so much.

Are the benefits per tier level available on all sailings?

No, Onboard Discounts (including the pre-booking of shore excursions) are available on all sailings. All other benefits are available on sailings 5 days or longer.

You will get to board earlier than those with lower status but that is about it. No Platinum dinners, no laundry.

Well, you do get the benefit of being on a cruise, which is, after all, the entire purpose, correct?

[Mikiejag]

Easy enough, thanks all

Could still do the ship tour, no?

No platinum benefits for cruises of less than 5 days (including the ship tour).

I had full benefits on an Epic 4 days back in 2019.  But it was a one the European cruises where not everyone had the same cruise length , so that may have caused confusion.

Some of the platinum benefits are still available for 4 day Sixthman charters, but that's a special arrangement between NCL and Sixthman.  I still received my platinum meals after the change for "normal" cruises as that was the main benefit still offered.  I've got my fingers crossed that it's still the case in October.

I know it says that in the T&Cs but reality is you get all the good perks on the first day and the speciality meal is available in the app. Even several of the poor perks you mention, you still get anyway.
You can see yourself, from my signature I have a lot of experience of recent MSC 2 day trips on more than one ship.
The chocolate ship was changed to a chocolate treat (bar) a long time ago. The dance class I can't comment on but we got these diamond perks on all three of our two day cruises taken this year (two ships):

 

Priority boarding

Free printed photos (you now have to attend the party for the photos).
1x Speciality meal PP
1hr in thermal spa

Bottle of Spumante (in room)
Macaroons (in room).

bathrobe and slippers (in room)
Chocolate bar (in room)
Diamond Cocktail Party

 

In honestly when you get all that on a low cost 2 day cruise it makes it pretty sweet especially one day in a speciality restaurant and only one in the MDR.

Chocolate ship haven't seen since restart.

 

Dance class who cares, MSC only has contemporary cruisers.

The chocolate ship is now a chocolate bar 😂
It is Venchi though, even if you have to savour the whole 1.23oz 😂

We should probably stop this now though as it's off topic for this forum.
