Book a cruise with your Mastercard, get a huge onboard credit

There’s a bit of extra excitement around our offices today, and much of it has to do with this interesting deal: Free Onboard Cruise Credit up to $250 when you book your cruise with your MasterCard

Now, most of you who read this column regularly are aware that I’ve yet to go on a cruise myself, even though I hear they are great and I really like the idea of them. So if I had some time off coming up I would definitely book this deal. Imagine, finding a low price in a cruise, and then getting $250 in onboard credit just by picking the right card out of your wallet to pay for the thing!

As far as I’ve heard, all the food and even non-alcoholic drinks are included with the base price, so it sounds like this money could be put toward the not-insignificant bar bill that I would inevitably run up. I’ve heard drinks on cruises can be expensive, but this is $250!

“Isaac, I’d love another margaritia.” “But you fell asleep in your last one,” Isaac would say to me. “I know, but I’ve got this huge credit to use up. Make it strawberry this time.”

I suppose you could also buy a $30 t-shirt or a $50 pair of cheap sandals, but where’s the fun in that?
