Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6500-point tier keeps Alaska at the top, but the mix is broader than 4000. The best sailing is Serenade of the Seas on a 7 Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise Balcony, departing Vancouver on 2026-08-09, with Cruise fare for 2 guests and $500 FreePlay. This tier has 1,229 sailings and a stronger spread across Caribbean, Mexico, Asia, and Australia. That makes it less concentrated than 4000, but more flexible if you want options beyond one region. The value is still good, but the tier is more about choice than pure concentration.
