If you are considering a vacation and those plans involve a cruise then you can get yourself a nice discount if with Discover and American Express. There are a variety of credit cards out there that partner with specific cruise lines, but we think Discover and Amex have the right idea. Check out the details below and see what you think.

Discover has partnerships with a variety of cruise lines on their online shopping portal and you can get 5% rebates when you buy your Royal Caribbean Cruise tickets and items through your Discover account. They also are partners with other cruises as well in case you want to shop around for the best deal. Discover also allows you to redeem any cash rebates you have earned for Royal Caribbean gift cards and you can redeem for double the value of your cash rebates on the gift card, and gift cards of other cruises as well. If you dont have a Discover card, consider the popular Discover® More Card. This card is one of the eligible cards that will get you a 5% cash back rebate on a Royal Caribbean cruise, plus this card has a variety of great features. Here are some of those features:
