Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500-point tier has 730 sailings and is still a lower-mid tier, but it starts to broaden the cabin mix. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise from Seward on 2026-07-31 in a Balcony GOBO for one guest, with $50 FreePlay. Alaska remains the strongest region at the top of the tier, with multiple Ovation sailings and a clear balcony path. Caribbean still makes up the largest share of the book, but the best-value options are not concentrated there. This tier is a step up from 1,200 mainly because it gives you more room to find balcony inventory without jumping all the way to the higher free-play tiers. It is still a practical entry point for players who want Alaska or a modest cabin upgrade. The free-play amount is small, so the value here comes more from itinerary and cabin than from bonus size.
