I’ve had good success booking with AA Cruises. I’ve found the prices to be competitive and you sure can’t beat getting bonus miles. Especially when you get a miles for every dollar including port charges and government fees.

And if you pay with an American Airlines credit card you get additional miles for your purchase.

Looks like I’m going to be seeing if I can get up to 60,000 bonus miles for cruising this year? How about you?

All the airlines, and most travel sites, outsource their cruise sales through a company called WTH (World Travel Holdings). I've booked with AA & United via this reseller. The prices for Carnival, probably the other lines, should be the exact same no matter who you book with for the category & sale. The differentiator will be the perks from that reseller.

I've been booking via the United portal because for the interior room that I get I find that I get more miles.
