Rare Shippy Posted August 15, 2015 #126 Share Posted August 15, 2015 ...eventhough there is a supposed link to them. I called the main MSC number & the reservation guy knew exactly what I was talking about. He checked his list & said that my March 2016 date was one of the 'good'ones :O) Although they said my Elite Celebrity would equal black & I would benefit on my next cruise... I have not gotten any 'official' email or call confirmation & it has been 2 weeks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Shippy Posted August 16, 2015 #130 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Finally got my Black Card. Impressed they are working on Sunday.

Hendricks Clan Posted August 17, 2015 #131 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Anyone having problems logging into the Voyager Club website? It makes me select a country and unless Im overlooking it, the USA isn't listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted August 17, 2015 #132 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Anyone having problems logging into the Voyager Club website? It makes me select a country and unless Im overlooking it, the USA isn't listed. I can log into the Voyagers Club site on the USA MSC site even though I live in the UK. I can also log in exactly the same on the UK web site. I was not asked to select a country on either occassion. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankprintster Posted August 17, 2015 #134 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I didn't see anyone in the thread yet mentioning if their NCL / Norwegian Cruise Line status was matched. My wife submitted a request to MSC a little more than a week ago. She has Platinum status with NCL (which is their top tier). We heard back today that she was given the Black card with MSC.

Jenna1983 Posted August 18, 2015 #135 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I haven't heard anything back yet and it's two weeks tomorrow. We leave for a MSC sailing in the Med 9/23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see by your signature you've done a lot of carnival cruises, what made you try msc? I'm only curious because I have recently switched over from ncl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Squirrel Posted August 18, 2015 #138 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Got my status match e-mail today. NCL Platinum to MSC Black. I will be taking my second MSC cruise this winter and will enjoy the extras, but totally understand why it irks long-time MSC cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-TX Posted August 18, 2015 #139 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Seems like there will be a lot of blacks on upcoming cruises. Priority boarding line could be pretty long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJoeBlack Posted August 18, 2015 #140 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't think I will add my status match to my booking, I am staying in the YC and the perks I will receive in the YC will outweigh the voyagers club and I can build points if I don't for future cruises if we decide we like msc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig103 Posted August 18, 2015 #141 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I submitted my information late last week and left my Vacation Planner (booked direct) a voicemail telling him because my final payment is coming up quick. He called me this morning at 1130 Miami time, and by 1422 I had my status match and by 1445 my 5% discount applied. I'm pleased with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetosaygoodbye Posted August 18, 2015 #142 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Does Blackcardmembers also have priority tendering too, like YC Guests? Edited August 18, 2015 by timetosaygoodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-TX Posted August 18, 2015 #143 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Does Blackcardmembers also have priority tendering too, like YC Guests? According to the site, Gold and Black get priority tendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted August 18, 2015 #144 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) According to the site, Gold and Black get priority tendering. According to the info on the UK site it's only Black members that get priority boarding. This is the same as the old MSC club where only Black got it. Here is the relevant part of the benefits table Pete Edited August 18, 2015 by Skier52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier52 Posted August 18, 2015 #145 Share Posted August 18, 2015 According to the site, Gold and Black get priority tendering. I'm sorry for the mix up in my previous post I didn't register that the question related to TENDERING, I though it was asking about priority boarding. Your answer was absolutely correct Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only curious because I have recently switched over from ncl I wanted to go to Europe this year and Carnival didn't offer any sailings. I didn't like the itineraries on the other U.S. "Mainstream" lines and had met a bunch of Americans in 2013 when I sailed in the Med on Carnival, who said they were enjoys their trip. I look at cruises purely as a vessel to get where I'm going. I don't care too much about the actual experience. However, I will say I am impressed with how quickly and efficiently MSC handled my food allergy alert seaside. It was less than 48 hours.

joseph123 Posted August 22, 2015 #147 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Anyone know if this process is still taking a long time? I have some friends who just submitted in hopes of getting the Loyalty discount to book a cruise before the "all in" promotion ends on 8/31, which is only about a week away. It took me and others here about two weeks to get a response but it says you should hear from them in two to three days on the website. Wondering if they have been able to speed up the process.

KFinTx Posted August 22, 2015 #148 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I have yet to hear anything. I even responded to an email sent by what I guess is MSC's version of a PVP. Never got a response, even though I said I was ready to book a cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
