Royal Intel Tier Report
The 1,500-point tier is the first free-play tier in 2610D, with $100 per sailing. It is also the first tier where balcony inventory starts to matter. There are 771 sailings in the tier, averaging 5.3 nights. Caribbean is the largest region, but Asia and Mexico produce the strongest individual sailings. The best cruise is a 5-night Okinawa & Taipei sailing on Spectrum of the Seas from Hong Kong, booked as a Balcony - GOBO - GTY and scored at 114.5. Mexico and Australia also show up in the top set, which gives the tier more range than the 1,200 band. Cabin mix is still mixed, but balcony is now a real part of the offer set. That is the main reason to watch this tier. If you want the first step up from entry-level inventory without moving too far up the ladder, 1,500 is the cleanest starting point.
