Terms & Conditions
*MSC Cruises will only consider benefit cards from other Cruising companies, Hotels and/or Tour Operators. Airline Company benefit cards are excluded.
** Matching is carried out by comparing as much as reasonably possible the level of benefits guaranteed from the external travel program benefit card with those offered by the MSC Voyagers Club cards (Conversion will be executed by MSC Cruises based on objective criteria and may only be done once per consumer).
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. MSC employees may not take part in the Status Match Program.

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.

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

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).
