Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Corporation achieved an all-time high net income money coming in for the quarter, $1.9 billion.

They booked 8% more people in Q3 of 2025 than Q3 of 2024.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, the parent company said, 'You know what? If you want to try a new cruise line, maybe you're in a different stage of life. Maybe you're going to go on a certain cruise line with kids or a certain cruise line without kids. We understand that and we want you to stay in the same family.'

Matthew McConna and his wife Chamilleia will be the godparents of Star Princess.
