Royal Intel Tier Report

6500 points in the May 2026 Certificate (Version C)

The 6,500-point tier has 1,229 sailings and moves into a more cabin-focused part of the release. It is fully cruise fare for 2 guests and carries $500 FreePlay. Caribbean remains the largest region, with Mexico next and smaller pockets of Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia. The best sailing is Serenade of the Seas on a 7 Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise Balcony from Vancouver. Brilliance of the Seas also brings strong Mediterranean balcony options, which makes this tier more attractive for cabin quality than the 4,000-point band. The tradeoff is that the point jump is larger than the value jump. This is a useful tier, but it is not as efficient as 4,000 points for most players.
