Creator's Key Takeaways
Carnival Corporation reported record first quarter revenue of about $6.2 billion and said bookings for 2026 are up at double digits.
They also said they have already sold about 85% of their 2026 inventory, which is um not exactly screaming last minute bargains everywhere.
Now, the twist is that Carnival also lowered its full year profit outlook because fuel costs have surged.
People still really want to cruise and the cost of operating these ships is getting more painful.
