Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6500-point tier has 1,280 sailings and carries $500 FreePlay. The cabin mix is split between 974 Balcony sailings and 306 Junior Suite sailings, so this is the first tier where suite inventory becomes a meaningful part of the board. Caribbean is still the largest region, but Mexico, Alaska, Asia, Australia, and Mediterranean all show up. The best cruise is Spectrum of the Seas, 5 Night Okinawa Holiday Cruise, departing Hong Kong on 2026-12-29. It scores 123.5 and carries $500 FreePlay. This tier is a good middle ground if you want more cabin quality than 4000 without moving into the larger suite-heavy bands.
