Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The expansion increases capacity, guest throughput, and calls (200/year; 13k/day), improving utilization and potential yields. The September 2026 ramp and upcoming inclusion of Princess/AIDA support broader deployment, potentially lifting near-term revenue visibility and investor confidence; however, the price reaction will depend on broader cruise demand and seasonality and any capex implications.
