The Compound Verdict

Barclays runs the Carnival Corporation cruise card stable, and the Princess version is the same machine with different paint. It returns roughly 2% on cruise spend toward more cruising and 1% on everything else, which a generic cash back card matches without the lock-in. Take the bonus before a booked sailing and set expectations accordingly.
