I'm assuming this is a free cruise, if so, why would you take the refund? Take advantage of their offer. Find a longer cruise, ask for an upgrade rather than onboard credit and enjoy.

Update: The bid for an upgrade website page on MSC now explains that you do get the entire experience if you upgrade to a Yacht Club Cabin, see #3 below: In just a few clicks, you can submit an offer to upgrade your stateroom on your upcoming cruise. Browse through the stateroom options below and select the amount you're willing to pay for an upgrade to each. Making offers on multiple rooms will increase your chances of getting upgraded, but you'll only ever pay for one upgrade. We'll notify you via email if your request for an upgrade has been approved. If your offer is accepted, you'll be charged for the upgrade. If not, you pay nothing and keep the stateroom you have. Offers are priced per person based on two occupants per stateroom for the entire duration of the cruise - only the first and second guest will be charged. In the case of a Winning Bid in “Aurea” or “Yacht Club” Experience. In these cases, the Guests will also be guaranteed all the benefits relative to the new experience. All services that have been purchased and / or prepaid before the Winning Bid event for an upgrade in "Aurea" or "Yacht Club" experience will not be refunded if the same service, of the same or higher quality, is included in the new experience resulting from the Winning Bid.
