Royal Intel Tier Report
The 9,000-point tier pays $750 FreePlay per sailing and has 1,373 sailings in release 2610D. Average length is 5.5 nights. This is the first tier where Europe starts to look practical, especially through Mediterranean inventory. The best cruise is a 7-night Italy, France & Croatia sailing on Mariner of the Seas from Barcelona, scored at 127.5. Asia and Alaska also remain strong, with Spectrum of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas both showing up near the top. Cabin mix is still balcony and junior suite, with balcony leading. That keeps the tier broad enough to shop while still offering meaningful upside. If you want a tier that balances free play, itinerary quality, and destination reach, 9,000 is one of the more useful bands in the release.
