Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,200-point tier is the first balcony GTY tier in release 2605A. It has 896 sailings and a 5.5-night average, with a mix that shifts away from the very low-end interior focus and into more usable cabin options. The top result is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier sailing from Vancouver in Balcony - GTY. Mediterranean also becomes more relevant here, with Brilliance of the Seas offering Greek Isles and Turkey or Cyprus sailings from Athens. That is the main change from the lower tiers: Europe starts to look real, not just present. Cabin mix at this tier is split between oceanview, interior, and balcony GTY, with balcony still the smallest of the three. Caribbean remains the largest region, but Mexico, Asia, Alaska, and Mediterranean all have meaningful presence. This is the first tier where the certificate starts to feel balanced rather than purely entry-level.
