MSC seaside today we are going to go over the MSC voyager's Club which is
MSC's loyalty Club there are some very unique perks and elements of this
program that really got us excited when we came on board MSC for the first time
and we'd really like to share every element of this with you now keep in
mind you guys this kind of stuff is time-sensitive so what we're going to do
is link to MSC's website where all of this is outlined in the description box
below so that you can get up-to-the-minute information on the
program but for now while we're on board we're gonna go over the current
offerings as of 2018 so MSC has five different loyalty levels they have the
Welcome membership which you earn after your first cruise they have the classic
membership which is from one to two thousand one hundred and ninety nine
points then the third level is the silver membership from twenty two
hundred to four thousand two hundred and ninety nine points then we're up to the
gold membership forty three hundred to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety
nine points and then lastly the wonderful the ultimate black membership
which is ten thousand points and higher so we're going to talk a little bit
about how you get to each of those levels but this is kind of a complicated
good complicated kind of a way to earn your loyalty because based on the type
of experience you purchase on board you might be able to get there a little bit
faster now here are something else that you have to keep in mind
MSC also allows you to get loyalty points when you prepay your onboard
experiences and also your onboard expenses count towards this loyalty this
is something I've never even heard of before so we're gonna go over as much of
this as we can today without boring you guys we want to just give you the basic
details and talk about the different levels so on your first cruise when
you're earning the Welcome program you earn access to the MSC voyagers info
point the online private area and the newsletter now when you bump it up to
classic things start to get a little bit better here
get a welcome back cocktail everybody loves cocktails right you get an onboard
dedicated number onboard special offers and a collection of flexible onboard
offers and then you also get the MSC ambassador online poll so you could be
invited to participate in opportunities to share your opinions and feedbacks
about the cruise line next up is the silver level and again things just keep
getting better so all of the offerings that we discussed for the Welcome and
classic level level now they just get a little bit sweeter and you get a
milestone reward on board you also get a complimentary basket of fresh fruit in
your cabin and a few other things as well now when we bump it up to gold
things get a little more posh and we add a complimentary one our thermal area
session once per cruise we add the MSC voyagers Club complimentary gift
priority disembarkation which who doesn't like that and that is also
priority tendering so priority disembarkation when tendering is
required you also get a complimentary MSC voyagers Club photo and will then
bump it up to the black level which is the most elite level on MSC Cruises so
we've had all of the things that we've just mentioned in the previous levels
including the gold and now we add a complimentary specialty restaurant
dinner for two we also add a complimentary spumonte with chocolate
dip fruit in the cabinet is that so good honey yes then we add priority
disembarkation at the end of the cruise courtesy towels and bath slippers who
doesn't love that a complimentary dance class
the MSC voyagers Club black party so this is a special invitation only party
for black members the MSC voyagers Club chocolate chip that is so cool they're
their model ships onboard the ship are amazing anyway I'd love to see one in
chocolate and you get late cabin check-out disembarkation so that is a
good summary of all of the different offerings so how do you get there of
course like I mentioned we're gonna link to it below but I'm gonna tell you just
a little bit about how the points work so remember how we talked about the fact
that the type of experience that you booked on MSC kind of influences the
outcome here so let's just give you a quick example
a six to 10-day cruise on the bella level you'd get 500 points so Bella is
the basic level the fantastical level experience you would earn 700 points the
Wellness level 1000 points Aria level 1000 points and if you booked the Yacht
Club you're gonna get 1500 points that's per six to 10-day cruise now let's just
say you booked into the Yacht Club for more than 10 days you would get 2,000
points the Bella level you'd get 700 points so kind of a neat system it
really is giving everybody an opportunity to get to their level a
little bit more quickly than just the basic number of days that you need to
cruise so you remember how I mentioned earlier that your onboard purchases and
your pre purchased purchases also count listen to this Voyager Club members will
earn a hundred points for every one hundred and fifty dollars or pounds on
expenses that they make before the cruise on packages and services included
in the cruise now what if you make your purchases onboard that still works too
you get also a hundred points for every European I'm sorry that's euros not
pounds I apologize euros or US dollars every 150 dollars
spent you get 100 points and that gets applied towards your MSC voyagers Club
card so that is the basic rundown remember that is free to join so if
you're going on a cruise with MSC don't forget to join you can book it online
