Press release, dated March 26, 2019 (furnished pursuant to Item 2.02) |
• | Gross cruise revenues of $4.6 billion compared to $4.2 billion for the prior year. In constant currency, net cruise revenues of $3.6 billion compared to $3.4 billion, an increase of 4.7 percent. |
• | Gross revenue yields (revenue per available lower berth day or “ALBD”) increased 5.8 percent. In constant currency, net revenue yields increased 0.5 percent, better than December guidance of approximately flat. |
• | Gross cruise costs including fuel per ALBD increased 8.6 percent. In constant currency, net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD increased 0.9 percent, better than December guidance of up approximately 2.0 percent, mainly due to the timing of expenses between quarters. |
• | Changes in fuel prices and currency exchange rates decreased earnings by $0.03 per share. |

(a) | ALBD is a standard measure of passenger capacity for the period that we use to approximate rate and capacity variances, based on consistently applied formulas that we use to perform analyses to determine the main non-capacity driven factors that cause our cruise revenues and expenses to vary. ALBDs assume that each cabin we offer for sale accommodates two passengers and is computed by multiplying passenger capacity by revenue-producing ship operating days in the period. |
(b) | For the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2018, we had a 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs comprised of a 5.0% capacity increase in our North America and Australia (“NAA”) segment and a 2.5% capacity increase in our Europe and Asia (“EA”) segment. |
• | Full quarter impact from one Carnival Cruise Line 3,960-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in April 2018 |
• | Full quarter impact from one Seabourn 600-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in May 2018 |
• | Partial period impact from one Holland America Line 2,670-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in December 2018 |
• | Partial period impact from one AIDA 5,230-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in December 2018 |
• | Full quarter impact from one P&O Cruises (UK) 700-passenger capacity ship removed from service in March 2018 |
• | Full quarter impact from one Costa Cruises 1,300-passenger capacity ship removed from service in April 2018 |
(c) | In accordance with cruise industry practice, occupancy is calculated using a denominator of ALBDs, which assumes two passengers per cabin even though some cabins can accommodate three or more passengers. Percentages in excess of 100% indicate that on average more than two passengers occupied some cabins. |
