Terms & Conditions
*MSC Cruises will only consider benefit cards from other Cruising companies, Hotels and/or Tour Operators. Airline Company benefit cards are excluded.

Guests will physically receive their membership card once on board for their first cruise with MSC Cruises. It is not possible to combine MSC Voyagers Club points with points from the benefit card data of other cruise companies. If a guest has benefit cards with multiple companies, he/she will have to choose which card to use to take part in the promotion. The MSC Voyagers Club card and membership will be subject to the terms and conditions of the MSC Voyagers Club. A copy of the MSC Voyagers Club T&Cs is available on the MSC Cruises website. MSC Cruises reserves the right to reject any Status Match Request without any legal ramifications for legitimate reasons and to stop this program at any time.

Gave it a try. I'm a Carnival Platinum under the old rules, achieved with 10 cruises and a total of 50 days.
I don't have a "membership card" per se, so I sent a screenshot of my status and benefits from carnival.com.
I'll let you know what happens!

I will try my newly acquired IHG Spire status and see what happens. Probably just like the last 2 Holiday Inns I've stayed at, they won't know what to make of it.

Thanks, while I have never sailed with MSC the status match might be worth the effort in case I ever do. The only issue that I see is that the benefits are usually not that significant.

It is not a very highly regarded cruise line. They tried to up the ante a while back with a cruiseline within a cruiseline and had a separate more upscale section on the upper decks. think suites, butler, upgrades, etc. didn't work well at all, as a friend of mine said that was fine until you had to leave that area. Then you knew you were on a mass market ship. the hardware is pretty but the software is not that good.

They have some pretty looking ships and are very affordable. Especially if you take kids. They have some neat concept ships coming out in the next few years for North America, as well as Europe. I was tempted to give them a shot a few years ago, but I didn't really like the ship they had here at the time.
