Royal Caribbean reported adjusted EPS of $3.60, $0.37 above guidance midpoint and up 33% year-over-year, with revenue growing 11% and EBITDA margin reaching 38%. However, full-year EPS guidance was lowered from $17.70-$18.10 to $17.10-$17.50, a 3.4% cut at the midpoint, driven by $0.74 per share in fuel headwinds and lower TUI Cruises earnings. AI and digital ecosystem acceleration continued alongside destination portfolio expansion.
