Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9000-point tier has 1,482 sailings and carries $750 FreePlay. The cabin mix is split between 807 Balcony sailings and 675 Junior Suite sailings, which makes it one of the more balanced higher tiers. Caribbean remains the largest region, but Mediterranean becomes more visible here, with 76 sailings. Alaska, Asia, and Australia are also present in meaningful numbers. The best cruise is Mariner of the Seas, 10 Night Greece, Italy & Croatia, departing Barcelona on 2027-06-05. It scores 134 and carries $750 FreePlay. This is the first tier where Europe starts to feel like a real option rather than a rare exception.
