4000 vs 6500 points in July 2026

4000 points has 881 sailings and is split between Balcony and Oceanview. The best sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise with $300 FreePlay. The tier’s strongest regions are Caribbean and Mexico, but the top scores come from Alaska and a small number of Europe-leaning sailings.

6500 points has 1,125 sailings and shifts more clearly into Balcony plus Junior Suite. The best sailing is also Ovation of the Seas on the same Alaska itinerary, but with $500 FreePlay. That extra $200 per sailing is the main difference between the two tiers.

The cabin mix is the more important distinction. At 4000, the book is still split between Balcony and Oceanview. At 6500, Junior Suite appears in a meaningful way, and that changes the practical value for players who want a better cabin rather than just a lower entry point.

Regionally, both tiers are still Caribbean-heavy, but 6500 has a slightly broader premium spread. It shows more Asia and Mediterranean presence in the top five, while 4000 is more concentrated in Caribbean, Mexico, and a few Alaska standouts.

If you are choosing between the two, 4000 is the better entry point for balcony and oceanview value. 6500 is the better tier if you want the stronger free-play step-up and the first real junior-suite access.
