OTOH, if one were to get the maximum number of points, that's a round trip ticket. Are there change fees as well?
There's also $100 cancellation fee (which they will apply to a different cruise if booked within a reasonable period of time). This is, of course, even if you are within the free cancellation period as stated by the cruise line. But those UA miles really do add up -- 8 pts. per dollar if you are booking balcony or better and also using the UA Explorer CC or other UA CC.
