That is only a question you can answer. We saved the proof to a pdf file and it went over without a glitch. I felt that as Platinum on NCL I sure would love to be able to start off as Black on MSC. My DH and I both sent it in and had a reply back with our new MSC status in a few days. We immediately booked his birthday cruise for 2019.

Thanks.... I’ve been trying to send prove via PDF file from my iPad but won’t accept it... maybe I need to do it from computer.

Just email it. I don't remember where but there was an address to do so on the website. If you can't find it just call.

I figure there's nothing to lose by doing a status match. We're looking at trying out other lines and I keep seeing MSC itineraries that are appealing.

I first tried to send my Princess Elite home page as an html attachment. MSC emailed me 2 days later saying the file format was wrong and was corrupt and they didn't want to open it. So I took a screen shot and also sent it as a zip file. One of those worked because 2 days later I got an email saying I was now a black card member. It also showed on my MSC account page. I used a chromebook to do this.

Is the match worth it? Black card gets 5% off cruise fare, plus other perks, so yes, IMO, it is worth the effort.

Just to clarify, ALL levels from Classic to Black get 5% discount.

I took screenshots of our login pages on Celebrity and Princess, showing our status. I saved them as jpgs and sent them off. MSC had no problem with this.

Do you have to ask for your status match before you book?

I am with an agent, and they didn't seem to know about it. He led me to believe that it would be 5% off our next (ie second) booking - which didn't make sense to me?

I didn't push it. I am Emerald on Royal - is that worth bothering to status match?

Emerald on Royal should be Gold on MSC so definitely worth it. I had booked my cruise and then did my status match months later but before final payment and received the 5% discount.

I imagine you should ask for it if they did not give it to you.

We were awarded 5% discount in our first booking after receiving the match.

We did book directly through MSC. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Yippee!

I will let you know Seems simple CCL Diamond and now I am a MSC black Booking this Yacht Club suite should be a no brainier

Just for comparison... I'm Platinum (113 points) with Carnival and just got my confirmation of gold status with MSC. Looking over their info, it's interesting that MSC accrues points based more on spending, which I have wished sometimes that Carnival did. Anyway, I called MSC and they added the status to my booking and updated the rate to reflect the 5% discount. It only took about 3 minutes. Easy Peasy! Happy cruiser here.....
