Item 1A. Risk Factors

The baseline is this issuer’s latest earlier reporting period of the same form that was filed before the current report. A previous 10-Q is a different quarter, not a year-over-year comparison. Amendments are excluded.

Compared 6 previous paragraphs and 9 current paragraphs.

Tables are not compared: 0 previous and 0 current tables excluded. Dates, whitespace, punctuation and numbering changes are ignored; changes to financial figures remain significant.

A changed paragraph is not evidence that risk increased or decreased. An unchanged paragraph does not establish that risk stayed the same.

Added paragraphs (2)

Current report

We rely on third parties to provide hotel management services for certain ships, technology services and certain other critical services, and disruptions affecting such providers could adversely affect our business. In certain circumstances, we may not be able to replace such third parties, or we may be forced to replace them at an increased cost to us.

Current report

We rely on external third parties to provide hotel management services for certain ships and certain other services, such as key technology and payment processing services, that are vital to our business. Certain key technology services are provided by one or a limited number of third-party providers. If these providers suffer financial hardship, operational disruptions, are unable to continue providing such services or otherwise fail to perform as expected, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to replace such service providers in a timely manner, which may cause an interruption in our operations. To the extent we can replace such service providers, we may incur increased costs for equivalent services. Interruptions to our operations or the need to replace third-party providers at an increased cost could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

We refer you to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the risk factors that affect our business and financial results. We caution you that the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, elsewhere in this report or other SEC filings could cause future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements. You should not interpret the disclosure of a risk to imply that the risk has not already materialized. The impact of macroeconomic conditions and global conflicts have also had the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, such as those relating to our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness, and our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.

Previous wording

In addition, availability, work stoppages, insolvency or financial problems in the shipyards’ construction, refurbishment or repair of our ships, other “force majeure” events that are beyond our control and the control of shipyards or subcontractors, or changes to technical specifications due to regulatory changes, sustainability initiatives or other strategic initiatives could also delay or prevent the newbuild delivery, refurbishment and repair, maintenance and sale, transfer or charter of our ships. The sale, transfer or charter (including bareboat charter) of our ships also involves risks, including the availability of willing counterparties on acceptable terms, the timing of such transactions, potential residual liabilities, counterparty performance risk, and the possibility that such transactions may not achieve anticipated financial or strategic objectives. Any termination or breach of contract following such an event may result in, among other things, the forfeiture of prior deposits or payments made by us, potential claims and impairment of losses. Similarly, market conditions and industry capacity may affect our ability to execute ship sales or enter charter arrangements on favorable terms or at all. A significant delay in the delivery of a new ship, or a significant performance deficiency or mechanical failure of a new ship could also have an adverse effect on our business. The impacts of global events including armed or geopolitical conflicts and pandemics, a lack of viable Dry-dock facilities, modifications the Company plans to make to its newbuilds, including initiatives to improve environmental sustainability, and other macroeconomic events have resulted in some delays in expected ship deliveries, and may result in additional delays in ship deliveries in the future, which may be prolonged. The consolidation of the control of certain European cruise shipyards could result in higher prices for the construction of new ships and refurbishments and could limit the availability of qualified shipyards to construct new ships. Also, the lack of qualified shipyard repair facilities could result in the inability to repair and maintain our ships on a timely basis. Any occurrence that prevented such third party from continuing to oversee such projects or substantially increased the costs related to such oversight could have an adverse effect on our operations. These potential events and the associated losses, to the extent that they are not adequately covered by contractual remedies or insurance, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Current wording

In addition, limited availability of shipyard capacity, work stoppages, insolvency or financial problems in the shipyards’ construction, refurbishment or repair of our ships, other “force majeure” events that are beyond our control and the control of shipyards or subcontractors, or changes to technical specifications due to regulatory changes, sustainability initiatives or other strategic initiatives could also delay or prevent the newbuild delivery, refurbishment and repair, maintenance and sale, transfer or charter of our ships. The sale, transfer or charter (including bareboat charter) of our ships also involves risks, including the availability of willing counterparties on acceptable terms, the timing of such transactions, potential residual liabilities, counterparty performance risk, and the possibility that such transactions may not achieve anticipated financial or strategic objectives, and in some cases, will result in a loss on disposal. Any termination or breach of contract following such an event may result in, among other things, the forfeiture of prior deposits or payments made by us, potential claims and impairment losses. Similarly, market conditions and industry capacity may affect our ability to execute ship sales or enter charter arrangements on favorable terms or at all.
