Bgwest Posted January 16, 2023 #26 Share Posted January 16, 2023 MSC provides each of us with a 10% discount (she, teachar - me LEO) off the base fare. Wondering if the $50 OBC is in addition to the discount we are given. Anyone else in a similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted January 17, 2023 #27 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It used to be if you book your cruise 12 months in advance, you also get $50 OBC pp. Come to think of it, I never got mine for the 2024 cruise I booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you would get the OBC if you booked far enough in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, only one of you needs to be eligible for a discount (teacher or LEO) for the cabin's fare (i.e. total for 2 cruisers) to be discounted. At least that's how it worked for me with a military discount (my wife didn't qualify for a discount), but both of our fares were discounted. Not sure how it works if you have more than 2 people in the cabin... Edited January 18, 2023 by Av8tor 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted January 25, 2023 #30 Share Posted January 25, 2023 My recent (10 minutes ago!) experience with the Voyagers' credit for early booking: I booked an early December 2023 Seascape cruise in late December 2022. It took about a month to even be able to log into my booking on-line but I was finally able to do so yesterday. No where could I find the OBC for booking early so I sent an email this afternoon to MSCExistingReservations@msccruisesusa.com. Exactly 35 minutes I received an answer: "we will have that credit applied 30-60 days prior to your sailing, but we have in {your} account that you will receive it due to your diamond membership status plus booking more than 6 months in advance."

Shipof6Fools Posted January 26, 2023 #32 Share Posted January 26, 2023 On the subject of getting the loyalty $50 OBC. I did a loyalty match and they granted me and my wife Diamond status. Is the $50 OBC per cabin or per guest? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to add your voyagers number and then the discount shows off the total price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare alyssamma Posted February 1, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Well, as the OP I just wanted to update on my experience. After 2mo of emails and being told everything to "soon", "once final payment is made", "onboard", "a few weeks before the sailing", and some weird thing about the contract they had with my TA, I finally got them to add it. As always, persistence is the key with MSC and the struggle and hoops they make you jump through to get the basic stuff that is owed to you is why I love sailing them 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
