Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises Select BlackBerry
For Wireless Access to Information and Communications

BlackBerry Wireless Solution Helps Cruise Lines Increase Productivity
and Enhance Customer Service

MIAMI & WATERLOO, Ontario Oct. 29, 2003
Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises and Research In
Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq:RIMM; TSX:RIM) today announced that the two
cruise lines operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) have
selected BlackBerry® to help increase efficiency and enhance customer
service through wireless connectivity. With 26 cruise ships operating
in more than 200 destinations around the world, the corporation wanted
a wireless solution that could improve productivity while
accommodating its employees' frequent travel and increased reliance on
e-mail.

"Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises are committed to
leveraging innovative technology in order to improve our operations
and provide superior customer service," said the two lines' President
and Chief Operating Officer, Jack Williams. "BlackBerry keeps me
connected to the information I need and enables me to easily
collaborate with my management team. I carry my BlackBerry 7230
everywhere. In fact, I'll even be carrying it while running this
year's New York City Marathon. I'm running to raise funds for the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and will be sending my sponsors an e-mail
after every five miles to let them know how I'm doing."

After researching a variety of wireless solutions, Royal Caribbean
International and Celebrity Cruises chose to implement BlackBerry
because of its ease of use, tight integration with existing corporate
infrastructure and always-on, push-based access to e-mail. The IT
department integrated BlackBerry Enterprise Server(TM) with IBM Lotus®
Domino(TM) and distributed BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds(TM) to
employees. With BlackBerry in place, users found significant
improvements in productivity and responsiveness through wireless
access to corporate information including Lotus Notes e-mail and
e-mail attachments, internal and external Web sites and organizer
information.

"Our employees are empowered by BlackBerry, as it enables them to
access important e-mails, attachments, calendar updates and internal
documents along with the ability to make phone calls," said Gregory
Martin, Technology Manager, Royal Caribbean International and
Celebrity Cruises. "We are quickly seeing a favourable return on
investment because of BlackBerry. When employees travel abroad, they
no longer need to always carry a laptop and that provides direct cost
savings. BlackBerry is also a powerful productivity tool that
personally saves me 30 to 60 minutes per day."

"We are pleased that Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity
Cruises selected BlackBerry to meet its wireless data and voice
needs," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at
Research In Motion. "BlackBerry is a powerful solution that enables
employees to be truly mobile with one device that integrates a mobile
phone with unmatched wireless data connectivity."
