What Happened

• Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. filed an 8‑K (Regulation FD disclosure) on May 20, 2026 responding to public statements by the head of Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) on May 19, 2026 that SEMARNAT will deny approval of the company’s initial application for the environmental permits needed to develop the Perfect Day Mexico project.
• The company said it respects SEMARNAT’s role, remains committed to providing information to support a thorough review, and will re‑engage stakeholders in the coming weeks to pursue the project while highlighting benefits such as essential environmental infrastructure, creation of thousands of local jobs, and community programs.
