Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:RCL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his thoughts on. Cramer called the management’s full-year forecast “spectacular” as he said:

On a freezing cold day here in New York and a not-so-hot day for the averages, I want to focus on warm weather and sunshine. I’m talking about Royal Caribbean Cruises, the largest cruise line in the world by market capitalization, which reported a solid quarter this morning, then gave us incredibly strong guidance. Sent the stock up nearly 19% today, second largest gainer in today’s session. Management was very bullish on recent booking trends, and their full-year forecast for 2026 is spectacular.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:RCL) operates cruise vacations under the Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea Cruises brands. Cramer highlighted the stock during the November 13, 2025, episode and said:

Over the past few weeks, it looks like the experiential economy ain’t what it used to be… Another clue… came from the cruise lines, which have been some of the biggest winners in the experiential economy for the past few years. Royal Caribbean, which had been the best of the bunch, is now down 20% since it reported in late October. Norwegian Cruise Line is off roughly 16% since reported last Tuesday.

Now, their actual numbers really weren’t all that bad, especially Royal Caribbean, which raised its full-year earnings forecast. But their fourth quarter revenue outlook was a tad disappointing, and that was enough to make investors feel like demand might be waning, which torpedoed the stock. Management is insisting that demand remains robust and has a strong book position heading into 2026.
