             CELEBRITY CRUISES CANCELS ADDITIONAL INFINITY SAILING
             -----------------------------------------------------


     MIAMI -- February 4, 2003 - Bearing units in Infinity's  propulsion  system
will require more extensive repairs than originally expected,  Celebrity Cruises
announced  today,  following  a thorough  examination  of the ship's  propulsion
equipment.   These  repairs  will  take  longer  than  estimated  earlier,  and,
unfortunately,   will  result  in  one  additional  sailing--on  Feb.  23--being
cancelled. Infinity is expected to resume service March 9.

     The company  cancelled  two sailings on Infinity last week-a Feb. 2 sailing
from  Ensenada,  Mexico,  to Hawaii and a return  trip Feb.  13-to  make  needed
repairs.  It also  shortened  a Jan.19  cruise.  The ship is in  transit  today,
traveling to a dry-dock facility in Newport News, Va.

     Guests  holding a booking  on the  cancelled  sailing  will  receive a full
refund  for  their  cruise,  plus a voucher  for a  50-percent  discount  on any
Celebrity  cruise of 14 nights or less,  departing  on or before  April 1, 2004,
excluding Europe, Christmas and New Year's sailings.  Travel agents will receive
their full  commission,  plus a $50  rebooking  fee per cabin when their clients
reschedule their trip.

     A special Help Desk has been set up to assist  travel agents or guests with
rebooking,  air  transportation  and  other  issues.  The  toll-free  number  is
1-888-701-7192.

     The total financial  impact of Infinity's  being out of service is expected
to have a negative  impact on the  earnings of Royal  Caribbean  Cruises Ltd. of
$.05 per share.

     Royal  Caribbean  Cruises  Ltd. is a global  cruise  vacation  company that
operates Royal Caribbean  International and Celebrity  Cruises,  with a combined
total of 25 ships in service and three under  construction or on firm order. The
company also offers  unique  land-tour  vacations  in Alaska,  Canada and Europe
through  its  cruise-tour  division.  Additional  information  can be  found  on
