Royal Intel Tier Report
The 4,000-point tier has 1,209 sailings and is the cleanest balcony tier in 2608A. The cabin mix is Balcony at 843 sailings and Oceanview at 366, so the tier is still cabin-focused rather than suite-focused. Caribbean leads with 824 sailings, followed by Mexico with 170. Alaska, Asia, Mediterranean, and Australia all remain present. 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 $400 FreePlay. Average sailing length is 5.4 nights. This tier is also the largest free-play gainer in the release, up $100 per sailing versus July 2026. If you are choosing a balcony target and want the clearest month-over-month improvement, 4,000 points is the tier to watch.
