Just wondering, does anyone know if MSC only accepts photos of the physical card to status match? Or can you do a screenshot of the relevant info from your online account? I'm not sure that my wife or I have Marriott Bonvoy cards that show our current status.

It has been a while but they took a screenshot from me without issue.

However there are now very few non-cruise statuses that match to Black. Top tier Marriott goes to Gold now.

Thank you very much - I'll give it a shot.

I'd be happy with any kind of status beyond the basic welcome level, as the 5% discount on a cruise for my family would make it worthwhile. Anything beyond that is gravy!

If you're Titanium Marriott that tends to match to Gold now. Anything lower than Plat and you'll almost certainly get Silver. Plat itself seems to vary, with some getting Silver and some getting Gold - likely agent dependent.

I did a status match almost 3 years ago and haven't sailed on MSC. My status was due to expire this year since I hadn't cruised with MSC in 3 years but I received an email saying they were extending everyone's status for at least 1 year until 12/21/2021. With the downgrade in status match I may book a cruise with them after all. (I had one booked for last March but cancelled).
