Royal Caribbean appeared to Fortune as well-positioned to benefit from an increase in vacation spending in Europe. The company, like all cruise stocks, has taken a hit because of the increased price of fuel due to unrest in the Middle East. Though the company has underperformed the S&P 500 for the quarter, Royal Caribbean still looks good aside from the industry-wide fuel problems, according to an analyst report from J.P.Morgan, which says that the strengthening consumer market means that people are more likely to start paying for cruises again.
