Carnival Corp. (CCL) raised its full-year earnings forecast for the third straight quarter, citing a record pace for forward bookings and improving net yields.

The cruise operator now expects adjusted net income of about $2.93 billion, up $235 million from its projection in June and higher than analysts' expectations of about $2.76 billion. Booking trends have continued to strengthen with rising volumes that are "far outpacing capacity growth," Carnival Chief Executive Officer Josh Weinstein said in a statement. He joined Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on 'Bloomberg Businessweek Daily' to break down the company's forecast.
