Topeka Capital downgraded Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE: RCL) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $36.00 (from $34.00) following Q3 results.

The firm sees limited upside in the wake of the recent rally following yesterday's strong 3Q12 performance.

The firm said a better buying opportunity in the stock could emerge in 1H13, when more definitive evidence of a now-expected European revenue rebound could support a higher valuation.

The firm raised its 2012 EPS forecast from $1.77 to $1.92 and raised 2013 EPS forecast from $2.59 to $2.75.
