Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6,500 point tier has 1,147 sailings and shifts more clearly toward balcony, with 996 balcony sailings and 151 junior suite sailings. That makes it a stronger cabin tier than 4,000 points. Ovation of the Seas on a 7 Night Southbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier cruise leads the tier with $500 FreePlay. The region mix is still Caribbean-heavy, but Asia, Alaska, Mediterranean, and Australia all appear in meaningful numbers. This is the point where the certificate starts to feel more premium without fully becoming a suite book. For readers who want better cabin quality and broader long-haul options, 6,500 points is a useful threshold.
