Royal Intel Tier Report
The 4000-point tier has 915 sailings and is the first tier where the cabin mix is entirely balcony and oceanview. It also carries $300 FreePlay, which is a clear step up from 3000. The best sailing is Brilliance of the Seas on 7 Night Greek Isles & Turkey Cruise from Athens on 2026-08-24, with a Balcony offer and $300 FreePlay $100. That is the strongest Mediterranean option in the tier and the one to anchor on. Regionally, the tier is still Caribbean-heavy, but it has enough Mexico, Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia inventory to stay interesting. If you want a balcony-focused tier with a meaningful free-play jump, 4000 is the floor. It is not the strongest tier in the release, but it is the first one where balcony is the default rather than the exception.
