Commenting on the full year 2012, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Frank Del Rio stated, “We are pleased with our record revenue, Net Yields and occupancy achieved this year. Given the challenges presented in Europe and the economic and political uncertainty in the U.S., the results once again validate our philosophy of including additional value in our already industry leading all-inclusive product offerings rather than discounting cruise fares. Our continued focus on the experiences of our guests and travel agency partners has resulted in the Company being named Best For Luxury by Cruise Critic. We are also pleased to report that we successfully re-priced our first lien term loan on February 1st, which lowered our margin by 150 basis points. We believe this is another testament to our strong financial performance.”
