Royal Intel Tier Report
The 3,000-point tier is one of the deeper mid-tier bands, with 1,497 sailings and a fairly even split between one-guest and two-guest cruise fare offers. Average free play is $58.7, which is a modest step up from 2,000 points but not a dramatic one. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier itinerary from Vancouver on 2026-07-10 with $150 free play. Serenade of the Seas also appears in Alaska with balcony GTY inventory, and Odyssey of the Seas brings in a Mediterranean option from Rome. That gives the tier a better destination spread than the lower bands. This is a solid utility tier. It does not lead on free play, but it offers enough volume and enough cabin variety to stay relevant.
