(1) Interest expense includes capitalized interest and amortization of deferred financing expenses.
(2) Interest portion of rent expense represents actual interest charges for the Brilliance of the Seas operating lease and, for all other rentals, we have assumed that one-third of rent expense is representative of the interest factor.
