Editor's Read
14529 sailings are spread across 13 point tiers this month, with a few clear breakpoints where the stronger value begins.
At a glance, most of this month is concentrated in Caribbean (9862) and sails most often from Miami, Florida (2049). That gives the month its overall shape.
At the very bottom, 400 points looks like the usual entry-level end of the certificate, where the weakest offers tend to sit.
The real decisions start with what opens up at each level. Europe first appears at 800 points, Alaska shows up at 800 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 6500 points and 9000 points. For 2500 more points, that jump opens up 1576 more sailings, longer average sailings.
No obvious free-play drop versus September 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.

Why This Month Matters
Most of this month sits in Caribbean (9862), with departures led by Miami, Florida (2049). That shapes the kind of certificate month this is.
For most players, the biggest practical step up looks like 6500 to 9000 points.
Month Shape
Europe opens at 800 points, Alaska at 800 points, and longer sailings at 800 points.
The strongest overall tier is 25000 points, while the biggest jump in practical value comes at 6500 to 9000.
That mix makes this month feel more like Caribbean (9862) than a broad all-destination month.
Historical Comparison
This certificate has 2,471 more sailings than September 2025
2025-10 has 2,471 more sailings across all tiers than September 2025. Average free play is +$12.5 across the certificate, but the bigger change is how much smaller the sailing list is overall.
