What a Celebrity Cruises gift card gets you
A Celebrity Cruises gift card spends like onboard currency once it's applied to a reservation: it covers the cruise fare itself, but also pre-cruise add-ons booked through your account — beverage and dining packages, shore excursions, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, and onboard credit. The card is sold in U.S. dollars and is redeemable across the Celebrity fleet, and because it sits inside the Royal Caribbean Group, the same card type is also honored toward Royal Caribbean International and Silversea bookings in most cases. There are no purchase fees and no expiration on the stored value.
one format:
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable by applying the code to a booking at celebritycruises.com or by phone. $50 to $500 per card via Dyme; larger amounts available direct from the brand.
You can apply more than one gift card to a single reservation. Combine several cards toward one fare, or split a large fare across multiple gift cards plus a credit card for the balance.

Can I get a Celebrity Cruises gift card at a discount?
Yes, but rarely as a flat markdown on the gift card itself, and not through Dyme. Dyme sells Celebrity Cruises e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a discount. The places a discount does show up:
- Costco Travel. Books Celebrity sailings with bundled onboard credit or a Costco Shop Card worth a percentage of the fare. This isn't a discount on a gift card, but it lowers the effective cost of the cruise. Executive members earn an additional 2% reward. Costco membership required.
- AARP and membership programs. AARP and similar membership platforms periodically list Celebrity or Royal Caribbean Group gift cards or cruise credits at a member discount. Availability and the discount rate rotate.
- Celebrity brand promotions. Celebrity runs frequent sailing promotions — reduced deposits, free upgrades, drinks-and-Wi-Fi bundles — that effectively discount the trip. These attach to the booking, not the gift card, so buy the card at face value and apply the promo to the reservation.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card on the purchase, Captain's Club status earned by sailing, and Dyme Miles on the card itself. Most buyers stack none of these.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Celebrity Cruises gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from travel or category bonuses, so the gift card usually earns the flat base rate rather than a travel multiplier.
Free to join. Earns at sailing, not on the gift card purchase.
Captain's Club status does not accrue on the gift card purchase. It builds from cruising itself, and members get amenities like onboard credit, priority boarding, and discounts on future sailings that the gift card can then help pay for. Program terms →
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.
