Royal Intel Tier Report
The 3,000-point tier has 1,463 sailings and is still anchored by Caribbean inventory, but the cabin mix is cleaner than the lower tiers. Balcony - GTY leads, with a large Oceanview - GTY block behind it. Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia are all present in the region mix. The top sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise from Vancouver, with a score of 131.5 and a $150 FreePlay bonus. There is also a strong Mediterranean option on Mariner of the Seas. This tier is useful if you want a broader balcony-first pool without jumping to 4,000.
