There is one common question we get from TPG readers who are cruise enthusiasts: What are the best credit cards for booking cruises?
It might seem logical that the best way to earn rewards on cruise bookings is to get a cruise line cobranded credit card. However, these cards generally don't offer as strong a value as the best travel credit cards.
For example, the Royal Caribbean® Visa Signature® Credit Card currently offers a welcome bonus of 30,000 points (worth $300 in onboard credit or cabin upgrades) after spending $1,000 within 90 days of account opening. While that may sound appealing, you can typically get much better value from the welcome bonus on most general travel credit cards.
