What This Means
The top sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier Oceanview from Vancouver, paired with $300 FreePlay. That matters because it is not just a high-score outlier. Alaska shows up repeatedly in the tier, and the route quality stays strong across several departures.
This tier also avoids the biggest weakness in the release: free-play compression at the top. While 25,000 and 40,000 points still unlock premium cabins and long-haul itineraries, the cash value drops sharply versus April 2026. At 4,000 points, the offer is still substantial enough to matter, but the sailing pool is broad enough to give players choices.
The mix is also practical. It is fully cruise fare for 2 guests, which keeps the structure simple, and it still includes Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Asia, and Mediterranean options. That makes it the most balanced tier in the book, not just the highest-scoring one.
