Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500-point tier is the first tier with free play in this release, averaging $100 per sailing. It also marks the point where Balcony - GTY becomes a meaningful part of the mix, alongside Interior and Oceanview guarantees. There are 771 sailings in the tier. Caribbean remains the largest region, but Mexico, Asia, Australia, and Alaska all show up in usable volume. The best sailing is a 5-night Okinawa & Taipei cruise on Spectrum of the Seas from Hong Kong, with $100 FreePlay. This is a useful middle tier if you want a modest bonus without jumping to the larger two-guest or suite tiers. It is not the strongest value point, but it is the first tier where the free-play structure starts to matter.
