Aeroplex Posted September 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Hey, a big compliment to MSC. I uploded the required proof yesterday at 9 pm and have been matched by today at around 8:30 am. I hope the status match is just in time for the cruise tomorrow (22.9-26.9). I have a few question as a new diamond member: - Is the 1 hour SPA invitation like a voucher? I would like to give it to my mother travelling with me (she is silver member). - We have 2 separate cabins. Do you think it is still possible to get 2 complimentary speciality dinner charged on my room? Thanks ^^ Edited September 21, 2022 by Aeroplex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some_body Posted September 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I was on my first MSC cruise in early august on the Divina and also matched to Diamond. My wife was able to use the 1 hour spa, because we were in the same cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you also receive it in form of 2 vouchers? This time I booked 2 cabins because there was no single occupancy fee. Thank you^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some_body Posted September 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2022 No vouchers. They just scanned my keycard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no vouchers, rather your room card stores the data....and also has your photo on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joken35 Posted September 22, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) We have been black/diamond on 5 cruises . You need to present your keycard when you go to your reservation .Unfortunately, the keycard had your photo. I was able to give it to a friend once but that was on the Seaside. The lady at the desk gave me a wink but her coworker was not happy. Edited September 22, 2022 by Joken35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoptom Posted September 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I've been waiting three weeks for a status match. Calling tells me to continue to wait and no I cannot speak to the powers that be. I cruise again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted September 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Can't wait to try out MSC. We're working through our roster of cruises on other lines, but MSC is up right after that! Slightly off topic- besides MSC, do any other cruiselines match status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgin has a match offer if you are booked with them in preparation for program launch next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeroplex Posted September 26, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) So to answer some question. Speciality Menu only for me as there is only 1 Cabin Member. So we ordered a Lobster Soup to have 2 starter. Then we ordered one additional Side. The lamb Chops was heavy and we got 6 so we shared the main course 😉 I could give away the SPA visit and they didn’t look on the watch at the Aurea SPA so no hurry. Late Checkout (2h) + Tender Boat priority access. What missed was the bathrobe + macarons, chocolated ship, which wasn’t on my cabin for 3 days. The cruise was nearly over and I called/asked 4 times to the reception. With a little pressure they brought everything. A little bit late… Edited September 26, 2022 by Aeroplex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you may not have the diamond card / status on this cruise. They won’t automatically update the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeroplex Posted September 26, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Ah there is also a free picture 15x20cm (taken during dinner inside the restaurant) which is free for diamond member 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
