New Status Match offer on select cruises, 2 day booking window

Here's a new offer out today. A bit confusing.

VV needs to STOP with this status match BS.

 

If everyone is DBS, no one is DBS.

The endless parade of 'flash sales' is confusing in themselves. VV is kind of becoming MSC in that regard, MSC runs a flash sale about every other week.  It is interesting that VV tightened the Status Match options when they re-released the program. You cannot match from most every cruise line like you could before.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this means a first timeer would actually be set to the "blue extras" level for this and their next cruise, or just BE on one of these cruises they would be booked on?  If the former, that would be annoying as both a person with airline status but not cruise status...yet and, as mentioned, annoying to someone with legit cruise status.  If the latter, then it's just another silly marketing campaign with a "value" of around $130 per sailor (if you book one of the trans-atlantic cruises).

 

With my next two cruises booked with bonus bar tabs, neither this nor the bonus $300 they offered for people using MNVV are of any value so all these "gimmick" deals are getting a bit old.

It’s like they don’t want to lower their pricing to entice people to book - and come up with these gimmicky offers to get bums in seats.
