It is a high percentage, but I think it is worth including NCL and MSC. Once you are considering all four corporations, you can safely say that the rest of the industry is substantially marginal.
Regardless:
Carnival = 47.4%
Royal Caribbean (including Silversea) = 23.3%
NCL = 9.5%
MSC = 7.2%
(by passengers)
The entire rest of the cruise industry worldwide is less than 13%, and that even includes some not-so-small cruise lines like Disney.
