I know you used to be able to use them on Renessaince cruises but I think they went out of business last year. I don't see any cruise lines listed as partners but some of the hotel programs let you use their points for cruises.

You can transfer your miles for Hilton HHonors points and then use those points for Carnival and Princess cruises. You can also transfer miles for Diners Club miles and use them on several different cruise lines.

Not sure how worthwhile it is to do this though.

I don't know...don't have any That was just the information I was able to find from a quick search through a couple of the partner programs. Although, the exchange rate seemed rather high ... mile for point and I think a 3 day cruise is around 200,000 points. That to me doesn't seem worth the exchange.

If you mean would it be worthwhile to use the honors points if you had them....guess so???

I may be wrong, but I believe United is the only one you can go direct to a cruise wth, using cruise4miles.com
