Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000 point tier has 1,524 sailings and is one of the stronger value bands in the release. Balcony and Junior Suite are the two main cabin types, with Junior Suite becoming much more visible here. Caribbean remains the largest region, but Mediterranean is now a real part of the tier mix. The best cruise is Mariner of the Seas, 10 Night Greece, Italy & Croatia, Balcony, departing Barcelona on 2027-06-05, with $750 FreePlay. This tier is where the certificate starts to feel more destination-driven. If you want Europe without going all the way to the top suite tiers, 9,000 points is a strong place to look.
