What To Know

4000 is strongest when you want a cleaner opening point into the month, while 6500 is where the room mix and cruise quality start to feel more forgiving.

The featured sailing at 4000 is 2604D03A for 12 Night Hawaii Cruise Oceanview $300 FreePlay, compared with 2604D03 for 12 Night Hawaii Cruise Balcony $500 FreePlay at 6500.

If you are deciding whether the extra points are worth it, the real question is not just count. It is whether 6500 gives you a better room-and-offer setup often enough to justify the jump from 4000.
