Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9000-point tier is the strongest tier in 2605D. It has 1,449 sailings, a balanced mix of Balcony and Junior Suite, and the best top-score profile in the release. The standout sailing is Serenade of the Seas on 7 Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise from Vancouver on 2026-07-26, with Balcony and $750 FreePlay $100. That same Alaska sailing repeats on 2026-08-09, which makes the tier look even stronger. This tier works because it is broad enough to shop and strong enough to reward the search. Caribbean is still the largest region, but Alaska, Asia, and the Mediterranean all contribute meaningful options. If you want the best overall tier in the release, 9000 is it.
