This is based on third quarter spending this year, which saw Carnival spend $259 million, Royal come in at $195 million and Norwegian at $77 million.
Compared to the last “normal year” in 2019, food spending was up at Royal Caribbean Group and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. The former spent roughly $150 million on food in the third quarter of 2019, while Norwegian spent $57 million.
