Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1500-point tier is one of the strongest in the release. It has 730 sailings, a useful split between one-guest and two-guest cruise fare, and the month’s strongest overall sailing: Ovation of the Seas on a 7-night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier itinerary from Seward with Oceanview and $50 FreePlay. This is where Alaska becomes not just available but genuinely competitive. The tier’s top scores cluster around Ovation, and the Alaska sailings carry the best value. Caribbean still makes up the largest share of the tier, but the quality of the Alaska options is what separates 1500 from the lower bands. The tier also carries enough volume to be practical. You are not relying on a handful of sailings, and the average length of 5.5 nights keeps the month in the same mid-length range as the rest of the release. If you want the best balance of value and access, 1500 is a strong target.
