Note: Information is based on currently scheduled dates. Timing of delivery of newbuilds is subject to change and additional delivery delays may occur due to circumstances including, but not limited to,

macroeconomic/ world events and potential modifications the Company may make to its newbuilds, including potential initiatives to improve environmental sustainability.

BOOKING TRENDS UPDATE

The Company continues to experience strong consumer demand. Q1 2024 had record bookings in the quarter, driving a continued all- time-high12-month-forward booked position.

Q1 2024 experienced healthy Net Yield growth of 16.2% on a Constant Currency basis compared to 2023.

North American demand for the summer European season continues to be strong.

Targeting healthy FY 2024 Net Yield growth of approximately 6.4% in Constant Currency, an increase of 100 basis points from the prior guidance of 5.4%. In Q2 2024, Net Yield growth is expected to be approximately 4.3% in Constant Currency.

Onboard revenue remains robust, with strength seen across the board, an encouraging indicator that our target consumer remains healthy. Gross onboard revenue per Capacity Day increased 11% in Q1 24 compared to the same period of 2023.

Strength also reflects our targeted efforts to increase pre-cruise purchases, which typically results in higher overall spend throughout a guests' cruise journey. Pre-cruise sales per Capacity Day increased 16% in Q1 24 compared to the same period in 2023.

Strong demand continues with all-time

high booked position and pricing
