Royal Intel Tier Report
The 2,000-point tier has 1,444 sailings and is the first tier where Balcony - GTY becomes the largest cabin type. That is the main shift: the certificate starts to behave more like a balcony-led book than an interior-led one. Caribbean leads with 985 sailings, followed by Mexico with 173. Asia, Alaska, Mediterranean, and Australia all remain visible. The best option is a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier sailing on Ovation of the Seas from Seward, with Cruise Fare For 2 Guests and $150 FreePlay. Average sailing length is 5.5 nights. This tier is a useful middle ground because it combines broad sailing count, balcony-heavy inventory, and a modest free-play increase. If you want a tier that feels materially better than the lower thresholds without jumping into suite territory, 2,000 points is one of the cleaner choices.
