Royal Intel Tier Report
The 40,000-point tier is the top of release 2605A. It has 1,175 sailings and $2,500 free play, with a 5.3-night average. The list is still sizable, but it is clearly the most restrictive tier in the certificate. The best result is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier sailing from Vancouver in a grand suite with $2,500 free play. The rest of the top tier leans heavily into Mediterranean and Asia, with Caribbean still the largest region overall. This tier is for players who want the largest bonus cash and are willing to accept the highest point cost. The sailing count is respectable, but the value case is mostly about the free play amount rather than flexibility. It is the ceiling of the certificate, not the best balance point.
