- 1xEverything else
Credits
No statement credits, this card wins on earn rates, not coupons.
Benefits
- ✦Redeem WorldPoints for cruise discounts, onboard credit, stateroom upgrades and more
- ✦No annual fee and no foreign transaction fees
Why it earns its spot
- +3x on cruise spend plus 2x on flights to the port is decent coverage
- +Costs nothing to keep between sailings
Where it costs you
- −WorldPoints are worth about a penny and only inside the NCL orbit
- −No status, priority or onboard perks at all
The Compound Verdict
This is a discount mechanism, not a travel card. NCL regulars who put the cruise, the flights and the bar tab on it will claw back a couple hundred dollars per sailing cycle, and the welcome bonus is a clean $200. The total absence of onboard perks keeps it firmly mid-pack among cruise cobrands.
