Is a cruise deposit the same as full voyage revenue?

Carnival's FY2025 filing records advance cruise and onboard receipts as customer deposits before recognizing revenue under its voyage rules. A deposit can confirm a reservation while the balance remains payable. Label deposit, full booking value and recognized revenue separately in campaign analysis.

Should a fare-only cruise campaign claim onboard sales as ticket value?

Carnival separately describes passenger-ticket and onboard revenue, including excursion sales and concession treatment. Define the basket being measured. An onboard purchase can add revenue after the initial ticket sale, but the filing does not attribute that purchase to a specific advertisement.

Can bundled cruise inclusions be counted again as new paid extras?

Carnival allocates bundled services between ticket and onboard revenue using estimated standalone selling prices. That allocation divides one bundle's value; it does not establish another payment. Distinguish allocated inclusions from additional purchases when comparing package-led campaign orders.

How do vouchers and cancellations change a cruise sale's retained value?

Carnival's FY2025 filing says redeemed discount vouchers reduce ticket revenue and cancellation fees are recognized when cancellation occurs. Compare the applicable net or retained amount with the original booking value; these are company accounting policies, not a universal ad-platform adjustment procedure.
