Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000-point tier carries $1,000 FreePlay and 1,563 sailings, making it a strong upper-mid tier in 2601C. Junior suites lead the cabin mix, with balconies still present but no longer dominant. Average length is 5.6 nights, the longest of the main tiers in this release. The best sailing is the same Mediterranean Odyssey of the Seas itinerary seen at 6,500, but here the tier also adds more junior suite weight and a larger overall inventory base. Alaska remains visible through Ovation of the Seas, and Asia is still part of the mix, including Spectrum of the Seas sailings from Shanghai and Hong Kong. This tier is less about a single standout and more about breadth. If you want a larger free play amount and a better chance at premium cabins, 9,000 is a solid stop. The release does not show a sharp drop here, so the tier holds its place well.
