Using SWA points for Carnival Gift Card

[klondike11]

Does anyone know if I can use the Carnival gift card that can be purchased with my Southwest Airlines points I've accrued? It says that you can't use them after you have booked your cruise but if I read it correctly I can use the gift card to pay on my final payment. It cannot be used for excursions or tip money.

 

Thanks for any help. My Alaska cruise is due for final payment in March.

I'm very interested to see answers to this! I also have quite a bit of points with SWA, and would love to use them toward my final payment!
