Royal Intel Tier Report

6500 points in the July 2026 Certificate (Version C)

The 6500-point tier has 1,125 sailings and carries $500 FreePlay per sailing. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise from Vancouver, scoring 134.5. The tier is mostly Balcony, with a meaningful Junior Suite presence that makes it more useful than 4000 if you care about cabin quality. Caribbean still dominates the total volume, but the top end is broader, with Asia and the Mediterranean showing up more clearly. This is the cleaner step-up tier if you want both better cabin mix and more free play.
