Needs A Closer Look in September 2026

The 800-point tier is the weakest tier in 2609D. Its average top score is 97.4, the lowest in the release, and the best cruise only reaches 102.5.

What This Means

The tier is also narrow in how it pays out. The mix is heavily weighted to one-guest cruise fare offers, with 207 sailings total and no free-play comparison available from the prior month. The cabin mix is mostly interior and oceanview GOBO/GTY inventory, with only 31 balcony GOBO sailings and very little room for premium cabin selection.

The best cruise is a 7-night Cabo Overnight, Catalina & Ensenada sailing on Serenade of the Seas from San Diego, in a balcony GOBO GTY cabin. That is a usable offer, but it is still a one-guest fare on a lower tier, and the rest of the top five stays in the same Mexico-and-Caribbean lane.

The practical issue is not that the tier is unusable. It is that the value ceiling is low and the cabin choices are limited. Players at 800 points can find a workable sailing, but this tier does not compete with the mid-tier and upper-tier options on score, cabin quality, or itinerary depth.

Why This Tier Stands Out

This is not just a count of how many sailings land in a tier. It also gives more credit to better ships, stronger destinations, longer trips, better room types, and rarer combinations.

A lower tier can still hide a gem, but the stronger tier is where the best options tend to cluster more often.

Then return to the month report to compare it with the opening points for Europe, Alaska, and longer sailings.
