Rare cgolf1 Posted October 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We are looking to book a 2018 cruise on MSC as they have some great prices on Caribbean cruises. I am curious what the status match of a DCL platinum cruiser would mean for us. Eventually I will probably ask some questions about the line and how good of a fit it will be for us parents and a college age adult. cheers cgolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisetimeforme Posted November 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2016 What about Platinum with NCL or Diamond with RCI, and Elite with Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
put me on a ship Posted November 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2016 What about Platinum with NCL or Diamond with RCI, and Elite with Celebrity? We're platinum with NCL, (150+ points), and were status matched at Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseCrew123 Posted November 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Seems like they are giving out black to anyone - apart from those of us that have sailed with them many times - it's not a loyalty card is it ?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC should really do upper level for loyal customers in this case . :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps setup the upper tier people from other lines one below Black, but make it reachable in a cruise or three. That wouldn't hose the loyal MSC cruisers quite as much.

You should't turn down the match it's not your problem at all :p:p but MSC should respect loyal cruisers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sverigecruiser Posted November 4, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 4, 2016 You should't turn down the match it's not your problem at all :p:p but MSC should respect loyal cruisers . I really agree with this. I have been statusmatched to Black for my first MSCcruise next summer and I am happy for that but I still think it is wrong.

RosieRoo Posted November 4, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I agree with all the loyal customers. I'd be upset if I had earned the status the hard way and they just kept giving it away for free. I did mention this to the loyalty ambassador on the Divina and he said they were coming up with something new to take care of their loyal customers, not sure what that means. Also, on MSC your status only stays in effect if you cruise once in every three year period, unlike the other lines where once earned, you have that status forever regardless if you cruise or not.
