Weinstein on Monday (30 September) revealed Carnival’s new-to-cruise bookings were up by 17% year-on-year during its third quarter (three months to the end of June).
This figure stood at 10% at the end of its second quarter (three months to the end of March).
"Strong support from our travel agent partners [has] allowed us to once again take share from land-based peers as we attract even more new-to-cruise guests," said Weinstein during an earnings call. "In fact, both new-to-cruise and repeat guests were up [by] double-digit percentages over last year."
