What Is Royal Caribbean Going to Do With $5.1 Billion in Cash?

What Is Royal Caribbean Going to Do With $5.1 Billion in Cash?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control's decision to allow cruise ships to resume sailing by mid-July comes at just the right time for Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL), which just reported a $1.1 billion adjusted loss for the first quarter. The real benefit, though, is that the resumption of voyages comes as Royal Caribbean has accumulated a large stash of cash. With $5.1 billion in the bank (but $20.7 billion in debt to go with it), the cruise ship owner looks like it has the financial means available to finish riding out this storm.
