Paying for a Cruise

[iaustin]

What is the best card to use when paying for a cruise.  I paid for airline tickets last year outbound with Amex Platinum and inbound with Chase.  We had a major issue and trip was cancelled.  Chase was amazing, their free travel insurance covered my trip.  Amex Platinum said I neeeded to have bought their extra trip insurance.  I'm thinking I shoudl pay with Chase, but I thought I would put it out there.

Saphire. That's the best card for travel. I book all my cruises on my Saphire.

I don;t have a Sapphire and I have to pay this week, no time to get one.  Any other suggestions please

Lets start with what do you have?
After SP, just look for any card that'll offer you a bonus for travel. After that its back to the good ole "Always use an Amex"

Chase British, Chase Ink, Chase Freedom, Citi World, Amex Delta, Amex Plat.  The travel bonus is good, but I really want the protection, just in case.

best option is upgrade freedom to SP (should be one phone call) and then book.
Other than that Amex's reguar purchase protection is very good but its not travel insurance

I think Ink might offer a similar travel protection but call to be sure
