Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000-point tier has 1,440 sailings and is one of the larger books in the release. 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 $750 FreePlay. This tier is split between balcony and junior suite inventory, with 924 balcony sailings and 516 junior suite sailings. That is a clear signal that the book is moving into more premium territory, but it still keeps enough balcony volume to remain flexible. Caribbean remains the largest region, but Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia all show up in useful numbers. The top five includes multiple Spectrum of the Seas sailings in Asia, which gives the tier a stronger international feel than the lower books. If you are looking for a mid-premium tier with real cabin choice and a stronger free-play step-up, 9,000 is a solid option.
