How does msc Upgrade PROGRAM Work?

1. FIND OUT IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A STATEROOM UPGRADE

If you already have a booking number and have paid for your cruise, we will contact you by email to propose a stateroom upgrade.

 

In case you didn't receive our e-mail, you can still check if you are eligible for an offer with the eligibility form, and make a bid to upgrade your stateroom in a higher category.

 

If you booked through a travel agency your agent can help guide you through the process.

2. CHECK THE STATEROOM UPGRADES AVAILABLE AND MAKE YOUR BID

If you're eligible, you can discover the best staterooms available for an upgrade and enter the amount you are willing to pay. Each bid is per person and will automatically be doubled for the second guest in your stateroom. The 3rd and 4th guests will receive the category upgrade free of charge. Bidding on multiple rooms will increase your chances of getting an upgrade, but you will only be charged for one upgrade.

 

We will require a valid credit card number, which will be charged once accepted.

If your bid is accepted, your credit card will automatically be charged the non-refundable corresponding amount. If your bid is not accepted you will retain your original room, and your card will not be charged.

 

Please note, the MSCUpgrade charge is in addition to the already paid original cruise fare.

FAQ

How is my MSC Upgrade charged when there are more than 2 guests in the room?

If your reservation includes multiple guests, the offer amount submitted will be per guest but only for the first and second guest on the reservation. The third/fourth/fifth guest in the room will enjoy the upgrade at no additional cost. For example, a bid of $100 would be charged as $200 ($100 per guest) and additional guests in the same room will not be charged.

How will I be charged for MSC UpGrade if I travel alone?

You will be charged based on double occupancy. For example, if you originally booked a single occupancy stateroom and bid $100 for an MSC UpGrade stateroom upgrade, you will be charged $200 if the upgrade is accepted.

How does the MSC Upgrade offer work if I’m part of a group or travelling with another reservation?

Each upgrade offer is reviewed individually. Therefore, MSC Cruises can't guarantee that all reservations traveling together will be upgraded, or that upgraded staterooms will be located near each other.

If I’m travelling with another stateroom, can I bid only once through MSC UpGrade and, if accepted, cancel the second reservation and move the guests into the upgraded stateroom?

No, if your party is occupying more than one stateroom, you'll need to submit an individual bid for each reservation. Please understand that these bids are reviewed independently, so MSC Cruises cannot guarantee both staterooms will receive an upgrade. Should one reservation be upgraded and the other isn't, guests from the un-upgraded stateroom cannot be transferred into the upgraded one. All reservations cancelled within the penalty period will be subject to MSC’s standard cancellation fees outlined in the Booking Terms and Conditions.

Can I modify or cancel the MSC UpGrade offer after it has been submitted?

You may modify or cancel the offer up until 48 hours prior to the closing of the bidding window, as long as the offer has not already been accepted by MSC or your credit card has not been already charged. Modifications or cancellations are performed via the links within the MSC Upgrade email, and cannot be done through the contact center.

Can I cancel the MSC UpGrade offer after it has been accepted?

No, once your bid is accepted, your credit card will be charged immediately, and the upgrade amount paid is final and non-refundable or non-transferrable.

What will happen with the promotions I already have if I’m upgraded through MSC UpGrade?

You get to keep the promotions you already have based on the stateroom category initially booked.

What will happen with my stateroom experience in case I win an MSC UpGrade?

The MSCUpgrade program is a stateroom upgrade only. Guests will keep their original promotions and experiences. The only exception is when upgraded to AUREA OR YACHT CLUB the Guest will receive the associated Aurea or Yacht Club experience benefits of their new stateroom.

Can I choose the location or specific features of the stateroom?

No, guests cannot request specific staterooms or ship location

What will happen if the upgrade category includes a higher amount of Hotel Service Charge?

If the upgrade stateroom category includes a higher amount for Hotel Service Charge, these will be charged to guests and the balance will be requested at the end of the cruise.

When will I know if my MSC UpGrade offer got accepted?

The offer can be accepted at any time from the moment it is submitted until the voyage departure. You will receive an email notifying you if your offer has been accepted.

Why did I or someone “travelling with” not receive an invite to bid on an MSC UpGrade?

To receive an email invitation to bid on a stateroom upgrade, you must be opted-in to MSC marketing emails. Also, the MSC UpGrade program is subject to availability and may not be available for all voyages or in all stateroom categories. If you wish to ensure a particular stateroom category, you should book your desired stateroom category at the time of booking.
