The company said on Monday that it scored third quarter records for operating income, adjusted Ebitda, net yields, passenger per-diem spending and its advanced booking position.

The world’s largest cruise ship operator also lifted its full-year expectations, though investors appeared to want more as its stock price dipped 2.9%
