Hey, I have a question about Loyalty Status Match Program. I was reading about it and if I understood it correctly you can now get your member status (Silver, Gold, Black) by matching with other hotel and cruise line loyalty programs. The thing is, I was reading about it on a USA MSC Cruises official page. I come from Slovenia and I didn't find that registration form (official MSC page is different in every country). Can anyone help me?
And another question, has anyone done that Loyalty Status Match Program?
Thanks in advance.

Is this match for U.S citizens only?

I just received my status match today after scanning in my details about a week ago. I used Disney Silver as my match, as we've been on two Disney cruises. I got MSC Silver and that's ok by me as well! I just e-mailed Expedia Cruises to have them add this to my res and asked if the 5% discount can be applied to an already booked cruise. If so, that almost seems too good to be true! I'm glad I heard about the status match program from a YouTuber, as I don't think I would have noticed it on their website. Great program!

I wound up with MSC Silver and that's ok by me! They have lured me into some of their other routes.

I just submitted the status match against my RCCL. I'm a new platinum with RCCL. I saw on another blog that an emerald with RCCL got 1 point on the MSC match status and is in their classic membership. That doesn't seem right to me.
MSC says I will get a response in 7-10 days so we'll see...

The MSC status match program is a great concept for enticing passengers to give them a try. For their status match, you can submit proof for whichever cruiseline (or hotel) loyalty program you have the highest rank with, and you will be matched to MSC's equivalent tier. I was matched to Black which has a few nice perks, including specialty dining, priority boarding, priority tenders, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, and more.
Once you have been status matched, MSC loyalty club also offers a 5% discount on any cruise. If you booked prior to joining their loyalty club, all you have to do is call in, and they will adjust your cruise cost.

The company I work for has had cruises for our members on MSC Divina, I haven't been on one of the cruises yet, but may look into it if they match the loyalty level I have at Carnival.
