Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6,500-point tier has 1,370 sailings and starts to open the door to Junior Suite inventory. Balcony is still the largest cabin type, but Junior Suite is now a real part of the mix. Caribbean remains the biggest region, with Mexico, Asia, Mediterranean, Alaska, and Australia behind it. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise from Vancouver, with a score of 131.5 and $500 FreePlay. Spectrum of the Seas also shows up in Asia with Junior Suite options. This tier is a better fit than 4,000 if you want more cabin flexibility.
