Jjohnb Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Numbers, statistics and metrics can all be spun to support just about any assertion. So the question is, what is the best metric to judge the the largest cruise company in the world? Number of ships, capacity, passenger cruise days, gross revenues... I'm sure there are many others that people could argue. One of the more important that I would argue is market capitalization (current market value of a company calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the market price). Today Royal Caribbean has a market cap of $13.58B versus Carnival at $13.48B, by that standard, Royal Caribbean is now the Largest Cruise Company in the World! Given the current situation, it's not much of a celebratory time but it is a major milestone which hopefully continues after life gets back to normal!

cruisellama Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 interesting times. I'm curious why the sudden growth spurt in RCL stock price while the others are pretty anemic. Especially when no one is operating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
