Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500 point tier has 1,072 sailings and is still balcony-led, with Interior GTY, Oceanview GTY, and Balcony GTY all in the mix. It is one of the more balanced mid-tier options in the certificate. Caribbean remains the largest region, but Asia is especially visible in the best-ranked sailings. The top cruise is Spectrum of the Seas, 5 Night Okinawa Holiday Cruise, Balcony GTY, departing Hong Kong on 2026-12-29, with $100 FreePlay. This tier is a good step up if you want more itinerary variety without jumping into the larger suite tiers. It is not the strongest free-play tier, but it is one of the more flexible cabin-and-region combinations below 2,000 points.
