Trying to reposition (IAH-BCN) for West-Med Cruise in Jan-Mar 2027. Ship stuck in Dubai. Need flexibility.

Hey guys, I am trying to get some flights in (IAH to BCN) for a Western Mediterranean cruise, departing from Barcelona sometime in January-March 2027. Unfortunately, the ship I'm eyeing is stuck in Dubai due to the ongoing war. I am thinking of going with some sort of points program that can allow flexibility in refunding miles in case the ship is still stuck in Dubai. I think that it'll be Alaska Air as it says it is refundable even in Economy. Its about 55K. I can also build up pts throughout this year if I apply for an Atmos card. I am open to any suggestions you may have.

I have the following: 500K Amex (Plat), 400K UR, 100K Alaska, 20K American, 80K United, 110K Delta.
