Don't see a category for Cruise Ship credit cards so thought I would ask here. I see a Norwegian Cruise Lines BOA Mastercard giving 10K WorldPoints on first purchase. Anyone seen bonus point offers higher than that? For Royal Caribbean, their card bonus seems about the same. And I don't recall it ever changing.

Never seen higher, plus its a penny a point redemption.

Might want to look at MR,UR,TYP as they all have much higher signups plus multipliers on categories. Then pay with points.

I saw CCL and RCCI on UR as options...

Thanks Matt. Too bad NCL isn't included as an UR option. Love UR. Both my wife and I have the Sapphire. For us, it's the new Swiss Army Knife CC vs. SPG. Have never owned an MR card. Something to investigate.

I just mentioned on another thread, but if you find an empty ship you could also look at booking a cheap cabin and upgrading on board to save a bunch of money.

I got off the Jade in Venice yesterday, upgraded an Oceanview to Penthouse (Fwd, with a whopping balcony) paid cash (aka Chase Sapphire Pref linked to onboard account) cost was 1390 for 2 including tax and fees. Saving 4K plus for a week.... Something to think about with ncl.
