Royal Intel Tier Report
The 3,000-point tier has 1,492 sailings and is still balcony-led, with 868 Balcony - GTY sailings and 624 Oceanview - GTY sailings. That gives it a cleaner premium-cabin profile than the lower tiers without moving fully into suite territory. Caribbean leads with 1,002 sailings, followed by Mexico with 170. Mediterranean, Asia, Alaska, and Australia all remain in the mix. 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 $250 FreePlay. Average sailing length is 5.6 nights. This tier is notable because it picks up a $100 per sailing free-play increase versus the prior month, which makes it one of the clearer month-over-month improvements in the release. It is a strong mid-tier if you want balcony access and a better casino return.
