Got my 5 % back even though cruise is fully paid!

So I couldn't find much documentation of status but found 2 old princess gold cards and a Marriott gold elite and sent info in and msc gave me gold and wife classic. So I called today and they gave us $200 credit back or so on our Deven be cruuse even though we paid in full months ago.

So go ahead and ask for it is what I learned. Also, because we booked in the USA this meditrain cruise automatically has free water in the dinning room without asking. 2 things I learned to ask for here at cruise critic. Thanks friends !

I did the same thing. I booked 2 cabins on the seaside for this coming August. I paid in full for my daughter's cabin and most of our cabin. When I status matched they took 5% off my cruise and gave me the 5% on my daughter cruise in OBC. I was very happy!!

Me too. I had paid my cruise in full back in July for a November cruise. I found out about the Loyalty Match a couple of months later and received a 5% back refund. I am loving this MSC already. I'm a die-hard Carnival loyalist but I'm always willing to try new cruiselines but keep going back to Carnival. Tried Disney and was impressed with the cabin and food and the staff but was totally bored as Disney is geared more towards little girls. Tried NCL for a Mediterranean cruise, not enough activities on sea days or any evening for that matter. Enjoyed the ports of call in Italy, France and Spain, but not so much the free style cruising where nothing was free. Anyway, I am so excited for my 8 day MSC Divina cruise next week. I hope I will return, but don't mind going back to the Fun Ship Carnival.

Proves the old adage . . . It never hurts to ask . The worst they can say is no, and the best they can say is here's a couple hundred bucks to spend on the ship ! Enjoy !

Good to know. Thanks.

'Free water in dining room'? Does that mean free bottle water?

We found out about the 10% military discount and they applied it for us!!

Is that for active military only or any prior service ?
