 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Adjustment to reflect the sale of the Company's 49%
     stock interest in Celebrity for cash of $120,050,000
     and for 3,649,655 shares of Royal Caribbean Cruises
     Ltd. ("RCCL") common stock, valued at $145,986,000. The
     pro forma financial statements reflect RCCL's use of
     the purchase method of accounting for its investment in
     Celebrity. The Company will account for its ownership
     of RCCL common stock as an investment in a corporate
     joint venture, using the equity method of accounting.
     The excess ("Excess" - approximately $70,000,000) of
     the cost of such investment over the Company's
     proportionate share of the underlying net assets of
     RCCL as of the transaction date will be amortized using
     the straight-line method over 40 years.

     Cash received, net of approximately $6,600,000 of (i)
     estimated expenses of sale and (ii) cash paid by the
     Company for its share of the cost of acquiring certain
     assets from Celebrity, was used to reduce amounts
     outstanding under the Company's long-term Revolving
     Credit Agreement.

(2)  Adjustment to reclassify 131,400 shares of RCCL common
     stock owned at the time of the disposition. Such shares
     are reflected in Investment in Cruise Business in the
     accompanying pro forma balance sheet at the Company's
     cost thereof.

(3)  Adjustment to eliminate the results of Celebrity and
     reflect the pro forma results of RCCL, net of
     amortization ($1,784,000 for the year ended December
     31, 1996 and $446,000 for the three months ended March
     31, 1997) of the Excess. No provision for U.S. income
     taxes on the Company's share of the undistributed
     earnings of RCCL is required, since it is intended that
     such undistributed earnings will be indefinitely
     reinvested.

(4)  Adjustment to reflect the reduction in interest expense
     attributable to the use of the net cash received from
     RCCL to reduce amounts outstanding under the Revolving
     Credit Agreement. Such interest savings are computed
     using a weighted average rate of 5.95% for the year
     ended December 31, 1996 and 5.99% for the three months
     ended March 31, 1997.
