Book Cruises
You may not be able to book the cruise with points, but points can still save you money.
You May Not Be Able to Book the Cruise With Points, But Points Can Still Save You Money
We love using points and miles for travel, but sometimes paying cash is simply the better, or only, option. Cruises are a perfect example.
While you may not be able to use your points to book the cruise itself, you can still use your points and miles to cover other major parts of the trip.
Use Points to Get There
Flying to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Seattle, Barcelona, Rome or another cruise port? Use airline miles or transferable credit card points to help cover your flights.
Use Points for Your Pre- or Post-Cruise Hotel
We almost always recommend arriving at least one day before your cruise, especially if you're flying to the port. This is a great opportunity to use hotel points or a free-night certificate and avoid another cash expense.
And if you're cruising somewhere you've always wanted to explore, consider staying a few extra days after the cruise too!
Then Pay Cash for the Cruise
This is exactly why we collect points and miles. Save money where you can so you can spend it on the experiences where points aren't the best option.
