Travel demand remains strong, pricing has held up, and ships are sailing full, but balance sheets, margins, and growth strategies now separate winners from laggards. This sets up a timely comparison between Carnival Corporation & plc CCL and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. RCL, two giants taking different paths into the next cycle. Carnival is still focused on strengthening its financial footing and turning demand into consistent free cash flow after years of heavy leverage. Royal Caribbean, by contrast, is leaning on newer ships, premium offerings, and higher onboard spending to drive earnings momentum. With the recovery largely priced in, investors are now asking a sharper question: which cruise stock looks structurally stronger for 2026? Carnival enters 2026 with clear operational momentum, having delivered record results in 2025. Management highlighted that revenues, yields, operating income, and EBITDA all reached all-time highs, with net income exceeding $3 billion for the year
