Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation, said on the company’s third-quarter earnings call that booking trends have continued to improve since the company’s last update, outpacing capacity growth at higher prices and setting a record for bookings made on sailings.
“Two years out and with nearly half of 2026 already on the books at higher prices, we feel pretty good about next year,” he said.
David Bernstein, chief financial officer, added that the company now has nearly half of 2026 on the books at higher prices.
Weinstein said: “If you look back, we said in the third quarter we had a pretty great booking 13-week period. We booked more year-over-year than we did in the third quarter of 2024. Carnival booked 8 percent more in the third quarter of 2025 than it did in the third quarter
