Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500-point tier introduces the first free play step: $50 FreePlay. It has 1,093 sailings, so the list is broad, and the cabin mix is split between cruise fare for 1 guest and cruise fare for 2 guests. Alaska is still the best region by score. Ovation of the Seas leads with balcony GTY Alaska sailings, including the 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier itinerary from Seward on 2026-08-28. Caribbean is the largest region by count at 753 sailings, but the strongest value remains in Alaska. This tier is a practical bridge between entry-level access and the more meaningful free play bands above it. The average top score is 134.3, which is solid, but not as strong as the 9,000-point tier. If you want a modest free play amount and a wide sailing list, 1,500 points is a workable stop.
