If there is one tier that looks like the sweet spot right away, it is 25000 points. The tier to be more selective with is 600 points.
The real decisions start with what opens up at each level. Europe first appears at 800 points, Alaska shows up at 600 points, and 9+ night itineraries begin at 800 points. Those are the breakpoints that matter when deciding whether to use the certificate in hand, hold out for a better month, or climb to a higher tier.
For most players, the most important movement in this month happens between 3000 points and 4000 points. For 1000 more points, that jump opens up 258 more sailings, longer average sailings.
No obvious free-play drop versus April 2025 on the first pass.
The sharpest free-play drop shows up at 40000 points, with a delta of 0. That is the kind of change that can make a familiar month feel weaker in a hurry.
There are 20 standout sailings that look rarer or better than the rest of the field, so this is not just a volume month. There are enough memorable plays here to make the month worth a closer look.
