Royal Caribbean reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $0.9 billion, or $3.48 per share, up from $2.70 a year earlier, and total revenue of $4.5 billion, up 11%. It also set full-year 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance of $17.10 to $17.50, citing about $0.62 per share of higher fuel costs than prior guidance, partly offset by lower non-fuel costs and share repurchases.
