Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,200-point tier is the first balcony two-guest tier in 2608A, and that makes it a major breakpoint. It has 894 sailings, with Interior - GTY still the largest cabin type at 412 sailings, but Oceanview - GTY at 334 and Balcony - GTY at 148 give the tier much more range. Caribbean leads with 619 sailings, followed by Mexico with 164. Alaska, Asia, Mediterranean, and Australia all appear in the mix, so this is the first tier that feels genuinely international. The best option is a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier sailing on Ovation of the Seas from Seward in Balcony - GTY. Average sailing length is 5.3 nights. The key point here is access: 1,200 points is the first place where balcony inventory becomes a real option, not a fringe one. For many players, this is the first tier that feels like a true upgrade.
