If you’re looking to purchase a Royal Caribbean cruise or already have one booked and want to save money while onboard, check out the cruise line’s gift card offer.
Update: We’re hearing that people aren’t having luck seeing any discounts once they add gift cards to their virtual carts. Your mileage may vary.
You can score an automatic 20% on gift cards purchased through this sale.
But there might be a twist. I couldn’t get the discounts to load when I used a desktop browser. It worked fine on my iPhone.
Per the terms, cards may be used at “royalcaribbean.com, celebritycruises.com, or silversea.com to pay for a cruise ticket. eGift Cards may also be used onboard any vessel in the Royal Caribbean International or Celebrity Cruises fleets on sailings operating in USD as a functional currency.”
Cashstar is the merchant of record, which means these purchases won’t code as “travel.” So, use whatever credit card awards you the best bonus for “all other purchases” or if you’re trying to knock out a card’s minimum spending requirement.
Happy shopping, saving, and sailing!

Confused about the 20% – the link says nothing about it – if I try to purchase a gift card for $100, it shows it costing $100 – where is the discount?
Thanks
Ben
Did you try it on a phone or desktop/laptop?
Sorry Chris, I read that in your write up but forgot and used my laptop. However, just tried on my iPhone and same result – no discount that I can find.
Thanks for the data point, Benjamin. I’ll update the post.
