FYI I didn't have any problem combining discounts. I used a balcony discount and still got the Mlife benefits.

And I doubt very much if RC can see that my Mlife status is a match from my Hyatt status. I travel a lot for work (4 nights per week) so I have a variety of statuses, I'm forever getting status matches and making sure I get maximum benefit from every € spent on travel. I've never had a benefit denied because I matched my status.

The only exception I've read is that the free cruises have to be based on spend with MGM + status, you can't just get Noir status matched and get a free cruise. But everything else should be given to you, and if it isn't then complain, complain, complain!

Hopefully I can help in one direction (MLife benefits onboard RC) but I don't know anything about the reverse. Used this benefit on my last cruise (September 13 on Liberty) as an MLife gold member.

Called up royal caribbean casino department before the cruise and they looked up my MLife status and confirmed I was eligible. On arrival there was a letter in my cabin welcoming me and asking me to report to the casino manager.

Immediately went down and was welcomed with open arms. Got a high roller sticker on my sea pass and had some of the benefits explained to me. Not sure if the casino manager wasn't up to speed on the benefits or was being a bit shady but she indicated that the benefits were all based on my spending in the casino and nothing was for free.

I had been told by MLife about some of the benefits so I immediately asked her to try and book a dinner in chops for us. Gave her our preferred date and time and she said she would take care of it. Next morning I got a call in the cabin to confirm my reservation. Went the next night and was welcome in Chops as a high roller and told that the charges were taken care of. Even got a bottle of wine for free courtesy of the casino manager.

I also read that we got 5 free drinks in the casino bar, next evening we tried and without asking the bartender told us the drinks were on the house. Same happened if we ordered any drinks while at a table or slot. I noticed behind the bar they seemed to have a high roller list and when they saw the gold sticker on the sea pass they checked the list and drinks were FOC.

I also completely forgot about the free "entertainment tour". After a few nights we found tickets in our room inviting us to a tour backstage in the theatre. I was a bit confused at first but then remember this was one of the stated benefits.

All of these benefits were given without me spending any money in the casino. Later on in the cruise we did visit and came away with some very nice winnings so I felt a little like I had robbed the place.

I'm only an Mlife gold member, I think if you're platinum or noir you can get even more benefits including free cruises.

One thing that you might not be aware of is that Mlife will match your status from Hyatt hotels. I've only set foot in Vegas once and was never a member of Mlife, but I have Hyatt platinum status. I got Mlife to match it and that got me all the benefits on my cruise. So if you're Hyatt platinum status or higher make sure you get a status match to Mlife and then enjoy these benefits. Not a lot but every little helps!
