MIAMI, Feb. 5 -- Royal Caribbean International has announced
plans to include its port charges in advertised prices, effective this Spring.
The change in pricing resulted from a voluntary agreement reached last week
with the Florida Attorney General and was announced to travel agents Friday,
January 31.

Separating port charges from cruise prices had been a long-standing practice
in the cruise industry. "Combining port charges with the cruise fare will not
change the total price paid by the consumer," said Adam Goldstein, Royal
Caribbean's Vice President of Marketing. "But if this voluntary change makes
it clearer and simpler for the consumer, we're all for it."

Royal Caribbean is one of the world's largest cruise lines, operating 11
modern ships with a total capacity of 18,774 berths. In 1997 and 1998, the
company will introduce the last three of its six Vision-class ships, adding
new capacity of 5,950 passengers. In 1999, Royal Caribbean will introduce the
first of its 3,100-passenger Eagle-class ships. This year, the award-winning
fleet offers passengers 54 different itineraries and 134 destinations and
attractions in Alaska, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Europe, the Far
East, Hawaii, Mexico, Panama Canal, Russia and Scandinavia. For additional
