If you’re tired of the cold weather and thinking about a cruise to warmer climes, American Airlines Cruises is offering up to 25,000 bonus AAdvantage Miles as a further temptation.  This is how they’re describing their offer:

For a limited time, when you book a cruise on AA.com you’ll earn up to 25,000 AAdvantage bonus miles! Plus, when you book right now during our Cruise Getaway Sale, you’ll find deals from $169, free onboard spending credit, and balcony upgrades.

So, book your relaxing cruise vacation today and start planning how to spend 25,000 AAdvantage bonus miles on a second vacation! Here are a few ideas (each 25,000 miles or less):

Round–trip flight award within the Continental U.S.(excluding Hawaii)
American Airlines Vacations Package: 4–star hotel + rental car weekend getaway
Road Trip Adventure: Weekly car rental and two 1–night hotel stays along the way

The total number of miles you earn is based on the cabin you book and the lenght of your trip. Here’s the breakdown of the bonus levels:

Up to 25,000 Bonus Miles: Miles awards are per stateroom and are awarded to only one passenger per cruise booking.

To qualify for the bonus mileage award you must book a balcony or suite stateroom between Jan 6 2011 and Feb 11, 2011 aboard any 3 night or greater sailing departing before Dec 31, 2011.

3-5 night balcony sailings receive 1,750 bonus miles.

3-5 night suite sailings receive 2,500 bonus miles.

6-12 night balcony sailings receive 7,000 bonus miles.

6-12 night suite sailings receive 10,000 bonus miles.

13 night or longer balcony sailings receive 17,500 bonus miles.

13 night or longer suite sailings receive 25,000 bonus miles.

I can’t imagine being on a boat for 13 or more nights, let alone having the time to do it, but I was surprised by how affordable it would be. I assumed that a 13 night cruise in one of the premium cabins would be $10,000, but found packages starting for as little as $1,600 for a balcony stateroom. Anyway, if you’re already thinking about a cruise, then this offer might be all you need to make the decision.

After the snow, cold and ice in Dallas this week…..go here to book a cruise or find out more about the offer.

American Airlines Cruises is offering special discount rates on all of their cruises.  I’v never been on a cruise.  I’m not sure that I would enjoy being on a boat for an extended length of time, so I’ve never bothered to look at pricing.   I just assumed that a cruise, because of the all inclusive nature, would be kind of pricey.  I looked at some of the specials and was surprised to learn that a cruise can be much less expensive than I assumed.

For example, you can book a 7 Night Western Caribbean cruise on Norwegian for as little as $549.  Here’s a description of the offer from the site:

• Earn Double Miles! Details

• FREE Upgrade! Details

• Up to $300 FREE Onboard Spending! Details

• Up to $250 FREE Onboard Spending – ANY Category! Details

• 50% Off Deposit! Details

• Nickelodeon Live Shows & More: Norwegian EXCLUSIVE! Details

If you book your cruise between now and December 24, 2010, you earn double AAdvantage Miles for every dollar that you spend.  Be careful though, not all rooms qualify for double miles.  Some may only earn one mile for every dollar.  The sample price above does not earn double miles, you have to book a Balcony room or a Suite to get the double miles offer.  A balcony room starts at $749.  Make sure you check “Earn  Double Miles Details” link on each cruise package page to confirm that the room you book will qualify for double miles.

More details about the sale and the Double AAdvantage Miles offer on the American Airlines Cruises – Cruise Blowout website.
