I believe there are a few thoughts:

You won't earn double miles on your credit card if your card offers 2x for AA purchases.

If this is AA Vacations:

If you're going to be on the ground at beginning or end of the cruise for a few nights, you can often purchase air and land packages at a good price - some report actually dumping the hotel for their own arrangements just for the often sizable discounts. Flights are upgradable, earn full EQM, etc.

If it's not AA Vacations: check out using them anyway. See: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...solidated.html
