What the filing says
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. issued $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.550% Senior Notes due January 20, 2034, pursuant to a Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated August 20, 2026. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated senior debt with standard covenants including limitations on liens (capped at 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets), sale-leaseback restrictions, and change-of-control repurchase rights (101% of principal if a rating decline occurs following a change of control). The notes are redeemable at the company's option beginning 3 months before maturity (October 20, 2033) at a make-whole price, or thereafter at par. Underwriters include BNP Paribas, BofA Securities, and Citigroup.
Why this rating
$1.25B debt issuance is ~1.6% of RCL's $79.1B market cap—material for refinancing/working capital but routine capital raising at this company scale. Modest positive (low coupon refinancing context) offset by debt load increase.
