Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9000-point tier has 1,440 sailings and keeps the same overall structure as the lower two-guest tiers, but with a larger free-play step. Ovation of the Seas leads again with a 7-night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier balcony sailing from Seward carrying $750 FreePlay. Caribbean remains the largest region, followed by Mexico, Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia. The tier is broad, but the strongest value still sits in Alaska. The cabin mix is entirely cruise fare for 2 guests, so this is a clean higher-point tier rather than a mixed one. Average length is 5.5 nights. If you are moving into this tier, the main reason is the free-play amount, not a major change in itinerary quality. The month’s core Alaska pattern is already established by the time you reach 9000.
