Aboard the MSC Meraviglia Here’s something to note before you go. MSC Cruises will match your loyalty status with other cruise lines. But here’s the part that will benefit most travelers: the company will match your status from hotels, airlines and tour operators, too. I’m a diamond member through Hilton. I filled out the status match form on the MSC website, about six hours later, I received a response. My status had been matched and I was a diamond member with MSC, the company’s highest loyalty level. That entitled our group to priority boarding, a free dinner for two at one of the ship’s specialty restaurants, an hour in the spa, a bottle of champagne and more. (Nelson Hicks)
