Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6,500-point tier has 1,193 sailings and is one of the more useful mid-high tiers in 2606D. The best sailing is Brilliance of the Seas on a 7 Night Italy, Croatia & The Adriatic Cruise from Trieste on 2026-08-10 in a Balcony cabin, with $500 FreePlay. This tier adds junior suite inventory in a meaningful way: 221 sailings are junior suite, alongside 972 balcony sailings. That makes it a better fit than 4,000 if you care about cabin quality as much as itinerary. Caribbean still leads the region mix, but the international tail is stronger here. Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia all have visible presence. The top-value sailings lean Europe and Asia, which is where the tier starts to separate from the lower books. If you want a real step-up in cabin mix without going all the way to the premium suite tiers, 6,500 is a practical place to look.
