Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6,500-point tier is a balcony-first tier with a small junior suite component. It has 969 sailings, and the cabin mix is 875 balcony sailings and 94 junior suite sailings. The best cruise is a 5-night Okinawa & Taipei sailing on Spectrum of the Seas with $500 FreePlay. Alaska also starts to matter more here, with Quantum of the Seas showing up in the top five on 7-night Alaska sailings out of Seattle. This tier is a better fit than 4,000 if you want cleaner balcony access and a stronger path into premium itineraries. Caribbean still dominates the region mix, but Asia, Australia, Alaska, and Europe are all visible enough to shop.
