Carnival Sea Miles Credit Card came in the mail the other day, and I activated it. Yesterday, I started the process of tranferring my balance from my AAdvantage credit card to my Carnival Sea Miles Credit Card. It said it might take a few days. I haven’t checked back yet. I will get Carnival Sea Miles for my transferred balanace. My balance is a little higher than I would like. I will get it paid off quickly. At least I will get the Carnival Sea Miles! I have to start figureing out the automated stuff that points to my old credit credit, and get it transferred over. I know our ADT alarm service automatically bills my old credit card. So I can transfer that over and get Carnival Sea Miles for those payments. I’ll just stop using the other card, and see what charges continue showing up, and then transfer those too.
I really like the look of my new Carnival Sea Miles card as well. My AAdvantage card was a boring gold. My Carnival Sea Miles credit card has a Carnival cruise ship on the front! Way cool! Not sure if is a photgraph, or a detailed painting. There is no name of the front of the cruise ship though, so I am not sure which one it is. I could probably study photos of various Carnival cruise ships and maybe narrow it down. It is not really important though. The Carnival Sea Miles will be or more use than the American Airlines miles though!
How do I check the number of sea miles I have accumulated? Where do I find a list of number of sea miles needed to purchase cruises etc.? Can I use sea miles as part of payment for a cruise?
Thanks

Great questions! I really didn’t know myself. But I looked into it, and got the answers.
You can call 1-877-732-6453 (the Sea Miles people), and they can tell you…
OR
You can go to http://www.SeaMiles.com, and sign up for an account there. In either case, they will need the Member ID from your Sea Miles card (it should start with a J).
The website seems kind of slow. I was also warned that there is a bug that sometimes when you try to logon on the first screen, it tells you invalid ID. But if you try again on the second screen it usually works.
As far as how many points you need, it varies for different cruises (popular cruises probably cost more points). This is from the web site:
3 & 4 Day Bahamas from 24,001 SeaMiles
4 & 5 Day Western Caribbean from 25,177 SeaMiles
7-Day Eastern Caribbean from 51,060 SeaMiles
7-Day Mexico from 55,766 SeaMiles
8-Day Southern Caribbean from 56,943 SeaMiles
SeaMiles can also be redeemed for a cruise discount.

I’ve waisted over two hours and can’t find a way to see a summary of my miles. You ought to make more accessible and simple.

Why was it that after we paid the bill in full, the sea miles were all gone?

There is a new SeaMiles Visa card with Chase bank that can be used on any cruise line at any time (https://www.seamiles.com/public_2_1.csp)
Does anybody know if I can transfer my Carnival SeaMiles to the new card?

SeaMiles is a rip-off!! I had over 54,000 points and they took them away. I was told I had 60 months to use them. Well the customer service rep. I spoke with told me wrong. I have tried to get satisfaction, but to no avail. I am very disappointed in Carnival also. I have sailed 3′xs with them and have my 4th scheduled. It will be my last with them. Don’t get this card, you are better off with your credit union, where you can get money or certificates with points. VERY DISGUSTED with both seamiles and CARNIVAL.

It needs to be easy to check your seamile balance. All I fnd is how to get acard and adds. What about a simple site check your seamile balance. It would be very helpful.
Thank you,
Mary

I just got stiffed by seamiles. They saved me $200 on my June cruise but charged me $520 non-refundable fee to do it! Next time I’m on Carnival I’ll hang out at the Seamiles counter and keep people from being suckers like me.
