Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500-point tier is the practical Europe unlock this month. It has 727 sailings and a cabin mix that leans Interior GTY, but with a meaningful Balcony GTY presence and enough Oceanview to keep the tier flexible. The best sailing is Spectrum of the Seas, 5 Night Okinawa & Taipei Cruise, from Hong Kong on 2026-12-06, in Balcony GTY, with $100 FreePlay. That is the top score in the tier and a strong example of the Asia-heavy upper end of the book. Caribbean remains the largest region, followed by Mexico, but Asia is visible here in a way it is not at the lower tiers. Alaska, Australia, and Bermuda also show up. Average length is 5.3 nights. If you want the first tier where Europe is a real option, this is it.
