Carnival Corporation (CCL - Free Report) reported second-quarter fiscal 2019 results, wherein both earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, shares of Carnival declined 7.7% on Jun 20. Furthermore, the company trimmed its guidance for fiscal 2019. In the coming quarters, quarterly results will be impacted by Trump administration's policy change on travel to Cuba and lower ticket prices.

Meanwhile, revenues of $4,838 million outpaced the consensus mark of $4,532 million and increased 11% year over year. This upside can be attributed strength in passenger tickets, and onboard and other as well as tour and other businesses.
