(a)

The debt table does not include the impact of our foreign currency and interest rate swaps. At November 30, 2014, 67% and 33% (69% and 31% at November 30, 2013) of our debt was U.S. dollar and euro-denominated, respectively, including the effect of foreign currency swaps. At November 30, 2014, 52% and 48% (59% and 41% at November 30, 2013) of our debt bore fixed and floating interest rates, respectively, including the effect of interest rate swaps. Substantially all of our fixed rate debt can only be called or prepaid by incurring additional costs. In addition, substantially all of our debt agreements, including our main revolving credit facility, contain one or more financial covenants that require us, among other things, to maintain minimum debt service coverage and minimum shareholders’ equity and to limit our debt to capital and debt to equity ratios and the amounts of our secured assets and secured and other indebtedness. Generally, if an event of default under any debt agreement occurs, then pursuant to cross default acceleration clauses, substantially all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables (see Note 10) could become due, and all debt and derivative contracts could be terminated. At November 30, 2014, we believe we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.


(b)	Includes $2.4 billion of debt whose interest rates, and in the case of our main revolver its commitment fees, would increase upon a downgrade in the long-term senior unsecured credit ratings of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc.


(c)	In 2014, we repaid an aggregate of $590 million outstanding under two export credit facilities prior to their maturities through May 2024. In addition, in 2014 we borrowed $554 million under an export credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of Regal Princess’ purchase price and is due in semi-annual installments through May 2026.


(d)	In 2014, we borrowed $498 million under a euro-denominated export credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of Costa Diadema's purchase price and is due in semi-annual installments through October 2026.

(e)

In 2014, we restructured two floating rate bank loan facilities that had an aggregate outstanding balance of $250 million and were previously due through 2016. The restructuring converted the terms into perpetual one-year maturities and added a $150 million tranche, which was used to repay a portion of a $500 million fixed rate bank loan in 2014 prior to its 2015 maturity date. We can terminate this facility at any time upon three days notice, and the bank can terminate the facility at any time upon one-year’s notice.


(f)	In 2014, we borrowed $150 million under a floating rate bank loan, which is due in September 2019. We used the net proceeds of this loan for general corporate purposes.


(g)	In 2014, we borrowed $275 million under a euro-denominated floating rate revolving bank loan facility, the proceeds of which were used for general corporate purposes. This facility has a perpetual term although we can terminate it at any time, and the bank can terminate the facility at any time upon nine months notice.


(h)	The interest rate associated with our short-term borrowings represents an aggregate-weighted average interest rate.

At November 30, 2014, the scheduled annual maturities of our debt were as follows (in millions):



	Fiscal
	2015		2016		2017		2018		2019		Thereafter		Total
Short-term borrowings	$	666											$	666
Long-term debt	$	1,059	$	1,785	$	634	$	1,302	$	685	$	2,957	$	8,422
	$	1,725	$	1,785	$	634	$	1,302	$	685	$	2,957	$	9,088

Debt issuance costs are generally amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt. In addition, all debt issue discounts are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the notes.

Committed Ship Financings

We have unsecured euro and U.S. dollar long-term export credit committed ship financings in order to pay for a portion of our ships’ purchase prices. These commitments, if drawn, are repayable semi-annually over 12 years. We have the option to cancel each one at specified dates prior to the underlying ship’s delivery date.

At January 22, 2015, our committed ship financings are as follows:

Revolving Credit Facilities

In June 2014, Carnival Corporation, Carnival plc and certain of Carnival plc’s subsidiaries amended and replaced their existing five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility of $2.5 billion (comprised of $1.6 billion, €450 million and £150 million) with a new five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). This Facility of $2.6 billion (comprised of $1.7 billion, €500 million and £150 million) at November 30, 2014 expires in June 2019, and we have options to extend this Facility through June 2021 subject to the approval of each bank. The Facility currently bears interest at LIBOR/EURIBOR plus a margin of 40 basis points (“bps”). The margin varies based on changes to Carnival Corporation’s and Carnival plc’s long-term senior unsecured credit ratings. We are required to pay a commitment fee of 35% of the margin per annum on any undrawn portion. We will also incur an additional utilization fee of 10 bps, 20 bps or 40 bps if equal to or less than one-third, more than one-third or more than two-thirds of the Facility, respectively, is drawn on the total amount outstanding.

At November 30, 2014, we have two other undrawn revolving credit facilities for $300 million and $75 million that expire in 2020 and 2015, respectively, and provide us with additional liquidity. At November 30, 2014, $2.9 billion was available under all of our revolving credit facilities.
