Royal Intel Tier Report

4000 points in the May 2026 Certificate (Version A)

The 4,000-point tier has 1,253 sailings and is fully built around cruise fare for 2 guests. Average free play is $61.7, which is lower than the higher premium tiers but still respectable for the point level. The tier’s strongest region is Caribbean, but Alaska and the Mediterranean both remain active. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier oceanview itinerary from Seward on 2026-05-22 with $300 free play. That is the cleanest value play in the tier. Odyssey of the Seas and Brilliance of the Seas also add Mediterranean options, so the tier is not limited to Alaska. This is a straightforward two-guest tier with enough volume to be useful. It is better for itinerary selection than for maximizing free play.
