Royal Intel Tier Report
The 25,000-point tier has 1,233 sailings and remains fully cruise fare for 2 guests. Average free play is $71.1, which is a steep drop from the prior release and only a modest step above the lower premium tiers. That makes the tier less compelling on cash value than it looks on paper. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier grand suite itinerary from Vancouver on 2026-08-21 with $1,500 free play. Asia, Australia, and the Mediterranean also appear, but the region mix is still Caribbean-led. The premium cabin structure is there; the free play is the weak point. This tier is best treated as a destination and suite tier, not a free-play tier.
