(1) Interest expense includes capitalized interest and amortization of deferred financing expenses.
(2) For the years 2014 and 2013, interest portion of rent expense represents actual interest charges for Brilliance of the Seas operating lease. For all other rentals in the periods presented, we have assumed that one-third of rent expense is representative of the interest factor.
