Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1500-point tier has 783 sailings and is the first tier with a defined free-play amount: $50 FreePlay. That makes it a useful bridge between the low-entry tiers and the more meaningful middle of the ladder. The cabin mix is still mostly interior and oceanview, but balcony is starting to show up in a more practical way. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier from Seward on 2026-06-19, with Cruise Fare For 1 Guest and $50 FreePlay. Alaska is the main reason to care about this tier. It is not the strongest free-play tier, but it gives you a workable Alaska balcony entry without moving all the way to 2000. For readers who want a modest free-play bump and a better cabin mix than the lowest tiers, 1500 is a reasonable step.
