Celebrity Cruises Cancels One Alaska Sailing

MIAMI, May 10
Celebrity Cruises is canceling one sailing on Summit to replace the
starboard thrust bearing in the ship's propulsion system. The ship
must enter drydock to replace the bearing, which will result in the
cancellation of its May 20 sailing. The ship is expected to return to
its scheduled sailings on May 27.

The cancelled sailing is a seven-night Alaska cruise from Vancouver to
Seward. Summit is currently sailing a 13-night West Coast / Alaska
cruise that will end in Vancouver, as scheduled on May 20.

Guests booked on the cancelled sailing will receive a full refund and
a free Celebrity cruise from North America of up to seven nights,
departing on or before September 30, 2007, excluding holiday and
Celebrity Xpedition sailings. Travel agents will receive full
commissions for the cancelled sailing, plus a $50 rebooking fee per
stateroom when their clients reschedule their cruise.

"I sincerely apologize to our guests who are affected by this
cancelled cruise," said Dan Hanrahan, president of Celebrity Cruises.
"Although Summit continues to operate safely, this is a matter that
must be addressed now. Our business is to provide the best vacations
possible and I regret the disruption this will cause our guests. We
will do everything we can to assist them onboard other sailings."

Celebrity has established a special help desk to assist guests and
travel agents with rebooking, air transportation, land tours and other
issues. That toll-free number is 1-888-281-9343.

The cancelled cruise is expected to have a negative impact on the
earnings of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. of approximately $.04 per
share.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is a global cruise vacation company that
operates Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises, with a
combined total of 29 ships in service and five under construction. The
company also offers unique land-tour vacations in Alaska, Canada and
Europe through its cruise-tour division. Additional information can be
