Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000-point tier is one of the larger upper-mid tiers, with 1,449 sailings and a fully two-guest structure. Caribbean leads by a wide margin, followed by Mexico, with Asia, Mediterranean, Australia, and Alaska all still present. The average sailing length is 5.5 nights. The best sailing is Serenade of the Seas on a 7 Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise Balcony from Vancouver, paired with $750 FreePlay. That is the clearest premium-value option in the tier. This tier is less about broad access and more about better cabin and offer structure. It is a reasonable stop for players who want a stronger free-play amount without jumping all the way to the 15,000-point band.
