This increase was caused by 163 million 34 capacity

This increase was caused by:
• $163 million – 3.4% capacity increase in ALBDs;
• $67 million – 2013 net currency impact and
• $47 million – slight increase in occupancy.
These increases were partially offset by:
• $191 million – decrease in cruise ticket pricing and
• $44 million – decrease in air transportation revenues from guests who purchased their tickets from us.
Our cruise ticket pricing decline, which was affected by the ongoing challenging economic environment in
Europe, was caused by our European brands.
The remaining 19% of 2013 total revenues were comprised of onboard and other cruise revenues, which
increased $45 million, or 4.3% to $1.1 billion in 2013 from $1.0 billion in 2012. This increase was principally
due to our 3.4% capacity increase in ALBDs, which accounted for $36 million. Onboard and other revenues
included concession revenues of $370 million in 2013 and $356 million in 2012.
