Royal Intel Tier Report
4,000 points is the first tier where the cabin mix starts to feel more balanced between Balcony and Oceanview, and that makes it a useful pivot point in 2607D. The tier has 881 sailings and averages 5.3 nights. Free play averages $300 here, and the best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise from Seward on 2026-09-11. It is a Balcony sailing and the strongest result in the tier. Alaska remains the clear value region, but the tier also reaches into the Mediterranean and Asia with competitive scores. If you want a mid-tier that still has broad cabin access, this is the one to watch. It is not the highest free-play tier, but it is one of the cleanest combinations of volume, cabin choice, and itinerary quality.
