Royal Intel Tier Report
The 4000-point tier is a clean two-guest cruise-fare tier with 839 sailings and a strong Alaska anchor. Ovation of the Seas leads with a 7-night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier balcony sailing from Vancouver carrying $300 FreePlay. That is the best sailing in the tier and the clearest reason to look here. The tier is still Caribbean-heavy overall, but Alaska is the value region. Mexico remains active, and there is a small amount of Asia and Mediterranean coverage, though not enough to change the tier’s core shape. The cabin mix is entirely cruise fare for 2 guests, which makes this a more focused tier than the lower bands. Average length is 5.4 nights. If you want a straightforward two-guest tier with a meaningful free-play step and a real Alaska option, 4000 is a practical target.
