Marriott has added Ritz Carlton Cruises as a partner. Marriott points can be redeemed for cruise fares, spending can earn points, and you can earn Marriott Elite Nights while cruising to help you reach a higher level.
- The earning rate is not especially high, but you earn 5 points per $1 spent on your cruise fare, as well as on the hotel package rate for participating Marriott hotels booked through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
- The first $1,000 requires 180,000 points to redeem, and every additional $500 thereafter requires 90,000 points. Redemption rate: 0.556c/p, which is fairly average.
- Receive one Elite Night Credit per night to help you move toward a higher Marriott Elite status.
- Accelerate earning with your Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card.
The benefits for each membership level are listed below:
