Royal Intel Tier Report
The 15,000-point tier has 1,185 sailings and $1,000 free play. It is a strong upper-mid tier, but the structure is now firmly two-guest only and the average sailing length is slightly shorter at 5.3 nights. The best result is a 5-night Asia sailing on Spectrum of the Seas with a junior suite and $1,000 free play. That is the clearest sign that this tier is no longer just about the Caribbean. Asia and Australia become more visible here, even though Caribbean still leads the full region mix. This tier is useful if you want a larger cash component without moving all the way to the premium top end. It is not as balanced as 9,000, but it offers a cleaner path into higher-value cabins and more international itineraries.
