Royal Caribbean Cruises is expecting strong bookings into the western Caribbean this year, particularly Cuba.
"Demand has been strong and we're booking ahead of same time last year in the Caribbean, so we're quite pleased with the performance," said Royal Caribbean International chief executive Michael Bayley during an analysts call on first-quarter results.
"The western Caribbean and other itineraries have been performing particularly well, including the Cuban itineraries, which we've almost doubled capacity into Cuba this year," he added.
