MSC Current Status Match Tables

[alibabacruisers]

I did the Status match Cunard Diamond received MSC Black.  Contemplating our first MSC cruise and was wondering if the 5% discount will apply or do I need to call to book?

So I got matched and my voyager number.  Can I add my voyager number to my already booked sailing on my own online?  Also, do I sign up for a voyager account online and add the number they gave me through the tier match email?

I had to contact the Voyager Club call center 877.665.4655 to have my updated status merged into a ticket I had purchased while a classic member. I found no way to do it online, the agent I spoke with was quick and had me a new cruise ticket with my updated status emailed to me within 5 minutes. My cruise departs 7/23 so it worked out perfectly!

Glad to see this, I had called the general number twice and got 2 different answers why they couldn't do it.

Exact same thing today, with the same statuses

[matthewtravels]

I've submitted but now realize I might have gotten better using a different program. I submitted my IHG Platinum status but reading other posts here, it seems that only matches to Silver. I just submitted it, so if/when they reply granting (or denying) the match, should I follow up to that e-mail with one of my other statuses? To hopefully get a higher match.
I'm also:
Caesars Diamond
MGM Gold
Wynn Platinum
Hilton Gold

Marriott Gold
Wyndham Diamond

What's best to attempt? TIA.

Caesars Diamond looks like it might match to MSC Diamond...I cant add a link but if you google Caesars diamond to msc status match you will find a .pdf with all of the loyalty programs you can use to match to MSC and what it will give you.

My status match has expired because I haven't sailed with MSC since March 2018.  I had a March 2020 cruise canceled at last minute (first cancellation due to Covid).  It is sort of not my fault.

 

Can I get my status restored or can I reapply for a status match.  Will MSC do that a second time or are you one and done?

[iwtobek]

Replying kind of late.

 

Got matched from Accor Platinum to Diamond, last december.

 

Pretty cool!

Just matched from NCL Platinum to MSC Gold.  Checked my current booking and it was automatically updated in my account info.

 

I tried to use the online form a few times and, until Monday, would always error out.  I'm guessing the system is set up to process the request within a certain window of time before sailing.  I just wish the website would have told me that!

Not sure having a cruise is a requirement.

 

I found out my status was matched because I started to receive newsletters and one mentionned my voyager club number. Months after I applied.

I am in the same "Boat" LOL! So I went and looked at the FAQ on the website the other day. Once it expires, you can reapply BUT you lose any cruise points that you accrued after you appled for status match last time.  Luckily I had only taken 1 cruise since then. Imagine having taken way more than that, you will lost all those points.

I had 2 cruises in which I will lose.  I am at a higher level now though on another line so maybe I will be higher on MSC when I reapply.

I just looked at chart and I will be Gold with MSC matching my NCL Platinum status.  Most important is the 5% off the cruise fare which looks like you get at all levels.

I would check with MSC as status was extended due to Covid, and they cancelled your cruise. My status should have expired April this year but was extended until 2023.

Log into the Princess website with your user ID.  Go to My Account and click on Home under My Princess.  Copy that page (or at least the top half of) since it has all the info MSC needs.

Matched my NCL Platinum status with MSC Gold.

Applied online via their web page, received a reply NOT even three hours after I submitted my request with the confirmation of the Status Match.

I reviewed the Status Match table/doc and noticed that RCCL Gold status is no longer matched.  I am looking to match status for my niece and nephews.  They are Gold on RCCL, the lowest level.  Is it worth it to even bother with a status match?
