Item 8.01                 Other Events.
 
On December 12, 2014, we refinanced the Brilliance of the Seas by terminating the leasing of the ship under the 25-year operating lease originally entered into in July 2002 and acquiring the ship for a purchase price of approximately $275 million. We will not recognize any gain or loss in connection with this refinancing. We funded the purchase through drawings under our revolving credit facilities. In connection therewith, we increased our revolving credit capacity by $300 million by utilizing the accordion feature on our revolving credit facility due August 2018.
