Our cruise ships hotels land tours port and related

Our cruise ships, hotels, land tours, port and related commercial facilities, shore excursions and other service
providers may be impacted by adverse weather patterns or other natural disasters, such as hurricanes,
earthquakes, floods, fires, tornados, tsunamis, typhoons and volcanic eruptions. These events could result in,
among other things, increased port related and other costs. It is possible that we could be forced to alter
itineraries or cancel a cruise or a series of cruises or tours due to these or other factors, which would have an
adverse effect on our sales and profitability.
The frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods and typhoons may not only cause disruption,
alteration, or cancellation of cruises but may also adversely impact commercial airline flights, other transport and
shore excursion activities or prevent our guests from electing to cruise altogether. Such extreme weather events
may also disrupt the supply of provisions, fuel and shore power, and may limit our ability to safely embark and
disembark our guests. In addition, these extreme weather conditions could result in increased wave and wind
activity, which would make it more challenging to sail and dock our ships and could cause sea/motion sickness
among guests and crew. These events could have an adverse impact on the safety and satisfaction of cruising and
could have an adverse impact on our sales and profitability. Additionally, these extreme weather conditions could
cause property damage to our ships, port and related commercial and business facilities and other assets and
impact our ability to provide our cruise products and services as well as to obtain insurance coverage for
operations in such areas at reasonable rates.
Incidents involving cruise ships, in particular our cruise ships, and media coverage thereof, as well as adverse
media publicity concerning the cruise vacation industry in general, or unusual weather patterns or other natural
disasters or disruptions, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, could impact demand for our cruises. In addition,
any incidents which impact the travel industry more generally may negatively impact guests’ ability or desire to
travel to or from our ships or interrupt our ability to obtain services and goods from key vendors in our supply
chain. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our sales and profitability.
Maintaining a good reputation is critical to our business. Reports and media coverage of ship incidents at sea or
while in port, including missing guests, improper conduct by our employees, guests or agents, crimes, dissatisfied
guests, crew and guest illnesses, such as incidents of stomach flu and other contagious diseases, security
breaches, terrorist threats and attacks and other adverse events can result in negative publicity, which could lead
to a negative perception regarding the safety of our ships and the satisfaction of our guests. In addition, negative
