Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000-point tier has 1,522 sailings and shifts the certificate further into premium-cabin territory. Junior Suite is the largest cabin type, with Balcony still close behind. Caribbean remains the main region, but Mediterranean, Asia, Australia, and Alaska all become more visible. The top sailing is Mariner of the Seas on a 10 Night Greece, Italy & Croatia cruise from Barcelona, with a score of 135 and $750 FreePlay. That is the first tier where Europe feels fully usable and the free-play step is large enough to matter.
