What This Means
What makes 1500 stand out is not just the top sailing. The tier has 730 sailings, which is enough volume to give you options without forcing you into the much higher-point bands. Its cabin mix is also more flexible than the lower tiers: 611 sailings are Cruise Fare For 1 Guest and 119 are Cruise Fare For 2 Guests. That gives solo and two-guest players a workable middle ground.
Regionally, the tier is still Caribbean-heavy, but Alaska is strong enough to matter. The best options cluster around Ovation of the Seas, and the Alaska sailings are the ones that carry the best scores. The tier also keeps Mexico, Asia, and Bermuda in the mix, so it is not a one-region month.
Compared with 1200, 1500 is where the month starts to feel more complete. You are not just unlocking Europe or Alaska; you are getting a broader set of higher-quality sailings with actual free play attached. Compared with 2000, it is easier to reach and still captures the best Alaska value in the release.
If you are choosing one tier to target first, 1500 is the one to watch.
