Best credit card to use at Celebrity Cruises.
Travel
Celebrity Cruises positions itself in the premium contemporary segment under the Royal Caribbean Group umbrella. Fares paid directly usually code as travel and earn on cards with a travel category bonus, though cruise lines can code unpredictably. To be safe, lean on a card that explicitly counts cruises as travel or a strong flat-rate everyday card.
