Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000 point tier has 1,418 sailings and is one of the broadest premium tiers in 2608C. The cabin mix is balcony and junior suite, with 938 balcony sailings and 480 junior suite sailings. The top sailing is Odyssey of the Seas on a 14 Night Spain & Portugal Transatlantic cruise from Rome, scoring 138 with $750 FreePlay. That is a strong signal for what this tier is about: longer itineraries, better cabin quality, and more international reach. Caribbean still leads the region mix, but Mediterranean, Asia, Alaska, and Australia all have enough volume to matter. This is a good tier for readers who want premium cabin access without going all the way to the suite-heavy upper end.
