Want a budget-friendly way to pay for your cruise, drink package, or excursions?

Here’s my go-to tip: Carnival gift cards + Rakuten = serious savings.

Here’s why I use them:
✔️ 3% credit card points when I buy them
✔️ 1% cash back from Rakuten
✔️ Carnival Gift cards often sold at 7% off
✔️ Plus — $30 back for YOU when you use my referral link and make your first purchase

But wait, there’s more
Gift cards let me budget upfront (no surprises), and avoid Carnival’s weird “pending” charges that can linger for weeks after the cruise.

Pro tip: Use gift cards to load your Sail & Sign account onboard and stay in control of spending.
