Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500-point tier has 1,045 sailings and a balanced mix of Interior - GTY, Oceanview - GTY, and Balcony - GTY. It is one of the cleaner mid-tier options in the release. Caribbean leads, but Mexico, Asia, Alaska, Mediterranean, and Bermuda all appear in the region mix. The best cruise is Explorer of the Seas on a 9 Night Italy, France & Croatia Cruise from Barcelona, with Balcony - GTY and $50 FreePlay. This tier is useful because it starts to combine destination quality with a modest FreePlay amount. It is not the strongest value tier, but it is a stable one.
