Royal Intel Tier Report

6500 points in the May 2026 Certificate (Version A)

The 6,500-point tier keeps the two-guest-only structure and raises free play to $500. It has 1,443 sailings, which is more than the 4,000-point tier, and the average sailing length holds at 5.5 nights. The best result is Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier sailing from Seward with balcony and $500 free play. That is the cleanest version of the tier: same Alaska strength as the lower bands, but with more cash and more inventory. Caribbean still leads the region mix, with Mexico next and Alaska a small but important premium option. The ship mix is broad, led by Oasis and Voyager. If you want a larger bonus without jumping all the way to 9,000, this is the most straightforward step up.
