  2. Cruise Industry Fundamentals Provide better vacation value than land resorts Focus on guest satisfaction to grow repeat business Compete on a global market for cruise passengers Ability to move our assets to different part of the world to maximize revenue Differentiation from land based resorts

  3. 0.5 Transportation Companies’ Fuel Spend • Fuel as a % of total operating expense • Fuel spend - 2007 • $USD Billions • 30% • 28% • RCL’s fuel cost is a significant portion of operating cost • RCL’s absolute spend on fuel is not as large as other transportation companies • 21% • 13% • 12% • 10% • 9% * Includes fuel and utilities – “Locomotive fuel & power expense” ** FedEx’s fiscal year ends May 31, Source: Annual reports

  4. Components of RCL Fuel Strategy • Fuel strategy • key elements • Description 1 • Long Range Demand Planning • Model Demand by Port 36 months out for hedging • Firm up models 6-12 months out for procurement • Secure guaranteed supply of fuel • Negotiate for most competitive contract price • Opportunistically use the spot in certain markets • Determine optimal supply location 2 • Procurement 3 • Logistics • Coordinate nomination and delivery of fuel • Provide critical communication link between vessel and supplier • Manage ships demand with local availability 4 • Risk management & trading • Contract for fixed price supply to protect from volatility • Enter into financial hedges to protect from volatility • Physical (barrels) and/or financial (paper) trading 5 • Establishing consumption budgets • Monitoring actual consumption • Driving conservation strategies • Demand management

  5. ۞Support vessels > 350 ports ۞Regularly purchase fuel in ~60 ports ۞Aggregate ~60% in 6 key supply ports Regional Fuel Demand Northwest Europe 30,000 / 35,000 Vancouver 25,000 / 38,000 U.S. East Coast 100,000 / 13,000 Seattle 25,000 / 1,000 Mediterranean 220,000 / 60,000 Asia 38,000 / 1,000 Florida 210,000 / 35,000 California 55,000 / 25,000 Middle East 6,000 / 9,000 Caribbean 260,000 / 25,000 Brazil 20,000 / 2,000 Uruguay 8,000 / 1,000 Australia 22,000 / 1,000 Fuel Types IFO / MGO Qty in Metric Tons Chile 1,000 / 3,000 Argentina 4,000 / 6,000

  6. Emissions Regulations Impact Cruise ships spend extended periods in regulated shipping areas:

  7. Emissions Mitigation • Improve fuel efficiency • More fuel efficient newbuild design • Adjusting vessels speed and itinerary • Optimizing maintenance (hull, prop, engines, HVAC, etc.) • Driving efficiency culture through all operations (lighting – water, guest – crew) • Alternative fuels & energy sources • Solar • Biodiesel • Evaluated many others (shore power, fuel cell, wind, etc.) • Abatement Technologies • In the process of testing promising technologies • Issues with both open & closed looped systems • Water treatment is a major issue for cruise ships

  8. Fleet Bunker Consumption • Pioneered use of Light Cycle Oil (LCO) and Biodiesel in Gas Turbine Vessels (Radiance and Millennium Class)

  9. Increasing Fuel Efficiency Fuel Consumption (Metric tons per 1000 pax per day) • Focus on reducing fuel consumption • Installed diesel generators on Millennium and Radiance classes for low power demand • Various projects implemented across the fleet • Window film to reduce heat • Silicon hull paint • Trim Optimization • Slow steaming by adjusting hours in certain ports

  10. Fuel Hedging Initiatives Percent of fuel consumption hedged 50% 53% 40%
