Royal Intel Tier Report
The 6,500-point tier pays $500 FreePlay per sailing and has 1,017 sailings in release 2610D. Average length is 5.2 nights. This is the first tier where Alaska becomes practical. The best cruise is a 7-night Alaska Advenighture sailing on Quantum of the Seas from Seattle, scored at 123.5. Asia also remains strong, with Spectrum of the Seas junior suite sailings near the top, and the tier includes a useful Caribbean base as well. Cabin mix is split between balcony and junior suite, which is the main reason this tier matters. It gives you a real step up in cabin quality without forcing you into the much narrower premium-suite bands. If you are looking for a tier that can handle both destination and cabin value, 6,500 is one of the better reads this month.
