FinanceCarnival Corporation & plc released its first quarter 2021 business update, showing US GAAP net loss of USD 2.0 billion and adjusted net loss of USD 2.0 billion.
First quarter 2021 ended with USD 11.5 billion of cash and short-term investments.

- Costa expects to resume guest cruise operations in May, sailing to Italian ports.
