Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,200-point tier is the first balcony breakpoint in 2608D, and that makes it a meaningful step up from 800. It has 546 sailings, with a mix led by Interior - GOBO - GTY, Oceanview - GOBO - GTY, and Balcony - GOBO - GTY. The tier still has no free play, so the value is in cabin access and itinerary quality. The strongest sailing is Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise from Seward, with a score of 137.5. That is the clearest sign that Alaska becomes more comfortable here. The tier also includes strong Caribbean and Mexico options, plus a small but real Europe presence. This is the first tier where balcony inventory becomes part of the conversation. If you are trying to move out of the pure entry band, 1,200 is the first practical step.
