Royal Caribbean reports quarterly earnings above expectations

The cruise company recorded a 6.05% earnings surprise in its most recent quarter after also exceeding the prior quarter’s consensus estimate.

A report previews dining, lounge and accommodation offerings, along with a new onboard show planned for the vessel.

The program spans the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Canary Islands, with Rhapsody of the Seas remaining in Europe year-round.

The seasonal range features themed apparel, accessories, mugs, pins and a figurine, although selections may vary between ships and sailings.
