(1)Interest rates based on outstanding loan balance as of December 31, 2021 and, for variable rate debt, includes either LIBOR or EURIBOR plus the applicable margin. (2)Includes $1.9 billion facility and $1.3 billion facility, the vast majority of which is due in 2024. Our $1.9 billion facility accrues interest at LIBOR plus a maximum interest rate margin of 1.30%, which interest rate was 1.51%, as of December 31, 2021 and is subject to a facility fee of 0.20%. Our $1.3 billion facility accrues interest at LIBOR plus a maximum interest rate margin of 1.70%, which interest was 1.91% as of December 31, 2021 and is subject to a facility fee of a maximum of 0.30%. (3)At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average interest rate for total debt was 5.47% and 6.02%, respectively. In March 2021, we amended our $1.55 billion unsecured revolving credit facility due October 2022 and our $1.0 billion unsecured term loan due April 2022. These amendments, among other things, extend the maturity date or termination date of certain of the advances and commitments, as applicable, under the facilities held by consenting lenders by 18 months and increase the interest rate margin and/or the facility fee, as applicable, with respect to advances and commitments held by such lenders. Consenting lenders also received a prepayment and commitment reduction equal to 20% of their respective outstanding advances and commitments. Following these amendments, the aggregate revolving capacity of the revolving credit facility is approximately $1.3 billion, with approximately $0.2 billion terminating in October 2022 and approximately $1.1 billion terminating in April 2024 and the aggregate principal balance of the term loan is approximately $0.9 billion, with approximately $0.3 billion maturing in April 2022 and approximately $0.6 billion maturing in October 2023. As of December 31, 2021, our aggregate revolving borrowing capacity was $3.2 billion and was mostly utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credit issued under the facilities. Certain of our surety agreements with third party providers for the benefit of certain agencies and associations that provide travel related bonds, allow the sureties to request collateral. We also have agreements with our credit card processors relating to customer deposits received by us for future voyages. These agreements allow the credit card processors to require us, under certain circumstances, to maintain a reserve that can be satisfied by posting collateral. As of December 31, 2021, we have posted letters of credit as collateral with our sureties and credit card processors under our revolving credit facilities in the amount of $193.3 million. Executed amendments are in place for the majority of our credit card processors, waiving reserve requirements tied to breach of our financial covenants through at least September 30, 2022, with modified covenants thereafter, and as such, we do not anticipate any incremental collateral requirements for the processors covered by these waivers in the next 12 months. We have a reserve with a processor where the agreement was amended in the first quarter of 2021, such that proceeds are held in reserve until the sailing takes place or the funds are refunded to the customer. The maximum projected cash exposure with the processor, including amounts currently held and reported in Trade and other receivables, is approximately $285.0 million. The amount and timing are dependent on future factors that are uncertain, such as the pace of resumption of cruise operations, volume of future deposits and whether we transfer our business to other processors. If we require additional waivers on the credit card processing agreements and are not able to obtain them, this could lead to the termination of these agreements or the trigger of reserve requirements. In March 2021, we took delivery of Odyssey of the Seas. To finance the purchase, we borrowed $994.1 million under a previously committed unsecured term loan which is 95% guaranteed by Euler Hermes Aktiengesellschaft (“Hermes”), the official export credit agency of Germany. The loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 0.96%. Prior to delivery during the first quarter of 2021, we amended the credit agreement to (i) increase the maximum loan amount under the facility to make available to us a maximum amount equal to the US dollar equivalent of 80% of the vessel purchase price plus 100% of the premium payable to Hermes and (ii) defer the payment of all principal payments due between April 2021 and April 2022, which amounts will be repayable semi-annually over a five year period starting in April 2022. In March 2021, we issued $1.50 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in 2028, for net proceeds of $1.48 billion. Interest on the senior notes accrues at 5.5% per annum and is payable semi-annually. We used the proceeds from the notes to repay principal payments on debt maturing or required to be paid in 2021 and 2022, and the remaining for general corporate purposes. In March 2021, we extended our binding commitment from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc. for a $700.0 million term loan facility by one year. The commitment was initially obtained in August 2020, and as amended, we may draw on the facility at any time prior to August 12, 2022. Once drawn, the loan will bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.75% and will mature 364 days from funding. In addition, the facility, once drawn, will be guaranteed by RCI Holdings, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary that owns the equity interests in subsidiaries that own seven of our vessels. We have the ability to increase the capacity of the facility by an additional $300.0 million from time to time subject to the receipt of additional or increased commitments and the issuance of guarantees from additional subsidiaries. In June 2021, we issued $650.0 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2026 (the "June Unsecured Notes") for net proceeds of approximately $640.6 million. Interest accrues on the June Unsecured Notes at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears. We fully repaid the Silversea Cruises 7.25% senior secured notes due in 2025 (the "Silversea Notes"), in the amount of $619.8 million, with a portion of the proceeds from the June Unsecured Notes. We also funded call premiums, fees and expenses in connection with the redemption of the Silversea Notes with proceeds from the June Unsecured Notes. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, we repaid in full a $130 million term loan. In August 2021, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes due in 2026 (the "August Unsecured Notes") for net proceeds of approximately $986.0 million. Interest accrues on the August Unsecured Notes at a fixed rate of 5.50% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears. We used the proceeds of the August Unsecured Notes to replenish our capital as a result of the redemption of a portion of the 11.50% senior secured notes due 2025, in the amount of $928.0 million plus accrued interest and premiums. The repayment of the 11.50% senior secured notes due 2025 resulted in a total loss on the extinguishment of debt of $141.9 million, which was recognized within Interest expense, net of interest capitalized within our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. In January 2022, we took delivery of Wonder of the Seas. To finance the delivery, we borrowed a total of $1.3 billion under a credit agreement novated to us in July of 2017, resulting in an unsecured term loan which is 100% guaranteed by Bpifrance Assurance Export ("BpiFAE"), the official export credit agency of France. The unsecured loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.18%. In January 2022, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes (the "January 2022 Unsecured Notes") due in 2027 for net proceeds of approximately $990.0 million. Interest accrues on the January 2022 Unsecured Notes at a fixed rate of 5.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the January 2022 Unsecured Notes will be used to repay principal payments on debt maturing in 2022. Pending such debt maturities, we have temporarily applied the proceeds to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, bringing our undrawn revolving credit facility capacity to $1.1 billion as of the date of the issuance of this report from $0.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. In February 2022, we entered into certain agreements with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC (“MS”) where MS agrees to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, 9.125% Priority Guaranteed Notes due 2023, and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. Pursuant to the agreements, we may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the afo rementioned notes. During 2020, we amended all of our export credit facilities, all of our non-export credit facilities and certain of our credit card processing agreements which contain financial covenants to extend the financial covenant waiver through and including the fourth quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, we amended $4.9 billion of our non-export credit facilities and certain of our credit card processing agreements to extend the waiver of the financial covenants through and including the third quarter of 2022 or, if earlier, that date falling after January 1, 2022 on which we elect to comply with the modified covenants. Pursuant to the amendments, we have modified the manner in which such covenants are calculated (temporarily in certain cases and permanently in others) as well as the levels at which our net debt to capitalization covenant will be tested during the period commencing immediately following the end of the waiver period and continuing through the end of 2023. As of December 31, 2021, the monthly-tested minimum liquidity covenant was $350 million for the duration of the waiver period. As of the date of these financial statements, we were in compliance with the applicable minimum liquidity covenant. Pursuant to these amendments, the restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases were extended through and including the third quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2021, we also amended $6.3 billion of our export credit facilities to extend the waiver of the financial covenants through and including at least the end of the third quarter of 2022, and during the third quarter of 2021, we entered into a letter agreement to extend the waiver period to the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we amended $7.3 billion of outstanding export-credit financing plus committed export-credit facilities to modify financial covenant levels for 2023 and 2024, following the waiver period through and including the fourth quarter of 2022. These amendments deferred $1.15 billion of principal payments due between April 2021 and April 2022. The deferred amounts will be repayable semi-annually over a five-year period starting in April 2022. Pursuant to these amendments, we have agreed to implement the same liquidity covenant that applies in our non-export credit facilities. The amendments also provide for mandatory prepayment of the deferred amounts upon the taking of certain actions. Subject to a number of carve outs, these include, but are not limited to, issuance of dividends, completion of share repurchases, issuances of debt other than for crisis and recovery purposes, the making of loans and the sale of assets other than at arm’s length In the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we entered into amendments to our outstanding and committed export-credit facilities to provide for the issuance of guarantees in satisfaction of existing obligations under these facilities. Following issuance (which, in the case of the undrawn facilities, will occur once the debt is drawn), the guarantees will be released under certain circumstances as other debt is repaid or refinanced on an unsecured and unguaranteed basis. In connection with and following the issuance of the guarantees, the guarantor subsidiaries are restricted from issuing additional guarantees in favor of lenders (other than those lenders who are party to the ECA facilities), and certain of the guarantor subsidiaries are restricted from incurring additional debt. In addition, the ECA facilities will benefit from guarantees to be issued by intermediary parent companies of subsidiaries that take delivery of any new vessels subject to export-credit backed financing. Except for the term loans we incurred to acquire Celebrity Flora and Silver Moon, all of our unsecured ship financing term loans are guaranteed by the export credit agency in the respective country in which the ship is constructed. For the majority of the loans as of December 31, 2021, we pay to the applicable export credit agency, depending on the financing agreement, an upfront fee of 2.35% to 5.48% of the maximum loan amount in consideration for these guarantees. We amortize the fees that are paid upfront over the life of the loan. We classify these fees within Amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior to the loan being drawn, we present these fees within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Once the loan is drawn, such fees are classified as a discount to the related loan, or contra-liability account, within Current portion of long-term debt or long-term debt. In March 2020, we increased the capacity of our $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities due in 2024 and 2022, by $200 million and $400 million, respectively, utilizing their respective accordion features. As of December 31, 2020, our aggregate revolving borrowing capacity was $3.5 billion and was fully utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credit issued under the facilities. Certain of our surety agreements with third party providers for the benefit of certain agencies and associations that provide travel related bonds allow the surety to request collateral in the form of cash or letters of credit. As of December 31, 2020, we posted collateral in the amount of approximately $91 million. In March 2020, we took delivery of Celebrity Apex. To finance the purchase, we borrowed $722.2 million under a previously committed unsecured term loan which is 100% guaranteed by BpiFrance Assurance Export, the official export credit agency of France. The loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.23% per annum. In the second quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we amended the agreement to defer the payment of all principal payments due between April 2020 and March 2022. The deferred amounts will be repayable starting in 2022 over a five year period. In March 2020, we borrowed $2.2 billion pursuant to a 364-day senior secured term loan agreement. In May 2020, this secured term loan was increased by an additional $150 million through the exercise of the accordion feature. The increased secured term loan balance was repaid with proceeds from the $3.32 billion Secured Notes (as described below) issued in May 2020. This secured term loan would have matured 364 days after funding and could have been extended at our option for an additional 364 days subject to customary conditions, including the payment of a 1.00% extension fee. Interest accrued at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% which would have increased to 2.50% and 2.75% at 180 days and 365 days, respectively, after funding. We would have also been required to pay a duration fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate loan principal amount every 60 days. Additionally, two of our board members each purchased a participation interest equal to $100 million. The repayment of this secured term loan in May 2020 resulted in a total loss on the extinguishment of debt of $41.1 million, which was recognized within Interest expense, net of interest capitalized within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In May 2020, we issued $3.32 billion of senior secured notes (the "Secured Notes") for net proceeds of approximately $3.2 billion. We repaid the $2.35 billion, 364-day senior secured term loan in its entirety with a portion of the proceeds of the Secured Notes. $1.0 billion of the notes accrue interest at 10.875% and mature in June of 2023 (the "2023 Secured Notes"). The remaining $2.32 billion of the Secured Notes accrue interest at 11.5% and mature in June of 2025 (the "2025 Secured Notes"). The Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Celebrity Cruises Holdings Inc., Celebrity Cruises Inc., and certain of our wholly-owned vessel-owning subsidiaries. $1.66 billion of the obligations under the Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in the collateral (which generally includes certain of our material intellectual property, a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of certain of our vessel-owning subsidiaries, the collateral account established pursuant to the indenture governing the Secured Notes (the "Secured Notes Indenture"), mortgages on the 28 vessels owned by such subsidiaries, and an assignment of insurance and earnings in respect of such vessels, subject to permitted liens and certain exclusions and release provisions), subject to certain adjustments after the date of issuance based on our debt rating as of the date of issuance and our lien basket amount in certain of our credit facilities. Prior to March 1, 2023, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the 2023 Secured Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest plus the applicable “make-whole premium” described in the Secured Notes Indenture. On or after March 1, 2023, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the 2023 Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Secured Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Prior to June 1, 2022, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the 2025 Secured Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest plus the applicable “make-whole premium” described in the Secured Notes Indenture. On or after June 1, 2022, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the 2025 Secured Notes at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the Secured Notes Indenture. In addition, on or prior to June 1, 2022, we may, at our option, redeem up to 40% of the 2025 Secured Notes with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price listed in the Secured Notes Indenture. In addition, we may redeem all, but not part, of the Secured Notes upon the occurrence of specified tax events set forth in the Secured Notes Indenture. In June 2020, we issued $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes which accrue interest at 9.125% and mature in June of 2023. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by RCI Holdings LLC, which owns 100% of the equity interests in certain of our wholly-owned vessel-owning subsidiaries. In June 2020, RCL Cruises Ltd., our subsidiary that operates and manages our business in the United Kingdom, established a commercial paper facility for the purpose of issuing short-term, unsecured Sterling-denominated notes that are eligible for purchase under the Joint HM Treasury and Bank of England’s COVID Corporate Financing Facility commercial paper program in an aggregate principal amount up to £300.0 million. The maturities of the commercial paper notes can vary by note, but cannot exceed 364 days from the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2020, we had £300.0 million, or approximately $409.9 million, based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2020, of commercial paper notes outstanding under this program. During the first quarter of 2021, we repaid in full the £300.0 million notes issued under the Joint HM Treasury and Bank of England’s COVID Corporate Financing Facility. In June 2020, we issued $1.15 billion of convertible notes which accrue interest at 4.25% and mature in June of 2023. If note holders elect to convert, the notes will be converted into our shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of common stock and cash, at our discretion. The initial conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes is 13.8672 shares of our common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $72.11 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Prior to March 15, 2023, the convertible notes will be convertible at the option of holders during certain periods, and only under the following conditions: •during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2020, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; •the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock and the conversation rate for ten consecutive trading days (in which case the notes are convertible at any time during the five business day period following the 10 consecutive trading day period); •if we call the notes for a tax redemption; or •upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after March 15, 2023, the convertible notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Holders of the convertible notes may require us, upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental change under the indenture, to offer to repurchase the convertible notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We allocated $907.9 million of the convertible notes' proceeds, net of debt issue costs, to Long-term debt and $209.0 million to Paid-in-capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We recognized the equity component by ascribing the difference between the proceeds and the fair value of the convertible notes' debt component to Paid-in-capital and the corresponding debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The fair value of the convertible notes' debt component was determined utilizing a present value calculation. Debt issuance costs on the convertible notes were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds to those components. We incurred total debt issue costs of $33.1 million on the issuance of the debt and allocated $6.2 million to Paid-in-capital. Debt issuance costs attributable to debt will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. In October 2020, we issued $575 million of senior convertible notes which accrue interest at 2.875% and mature in November of 2023. If note holders elect to convert, the notes will be converted into our shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of common stock and cash, at our discretion. The initial conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes is 12.1212 shares of our common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $82.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Prior to August 15, 2023, the convertible notes will be convertible at the option of holders during certain periods, and only under the following conditions: •during any calendar quarter after December 31, 2020, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; •the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock and the conversation rate for ten consecutive trading days (in which case the notes are convertible at any time during the five business day period following the ten consecutive trading day period); •if we call the notes for a tax redemption; or •upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after August 15, 2023, the convertible notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Holders of the convertible notes may require us, upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute a fundamental change under the indenture, to offer to repurchase the convertible notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We allocated $463.0 million of the convertible notes' proceeds, net of debt issue costs, to Long-term debt and $101.9 million to Paid-in-capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We recognized the equity component by ascribing the difference between the proceeds and the fair value of the convertible notes' debt component to Paid-in-capital and the corresponding debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The fair value of the convertible notes' debt component was determined utilizing a present value calculation. Debt issuance costs on the convertible notes were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds to those components. We incurred total debt issue costs of $10.1 million on the issuance of the debt and allocated $1.8 million to Paid-in-capital. Debt issuance costs attributable to debt will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. The net carrying value of the liability component of the convertible notes was as follows:

In October 2020, we took delivery of Silver Moon. To finance the purchase, Silversea Cruise Holding Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, borrowed $300 million under a previously committed unsecured term loan facility, guaranteed by us, to pay a portion of the ship's contract price. The loan is due and payable at maturity in June 2028, provided however, that each lender may elect to cause us to repay the outstanding amount of any advances held by such lender on June 2026 upon 90 days advance notice. The loan amortizes semi-annually starting six months after funding, with 1/24th of the outstanding principal payable every six months and the balance payable upon maturity. Interest on the loan currently accrues at LIBOR plus 2.00%. During 2020, we amended certain export-credit backed ship debt facilities to benefit from a 12-month debt amortization deferral (the "Debt Deferral"). Under the Debt Deferral, deferred debt amortization of approximately $0.9 billion will be paid over a period of 4 years after the 12-month deferral period. The Debt Deferral was offered by certain export credit agencies as a result of the current impact to cruise-line borrowers as a result of COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2021, we further amended our export-credit backed ship debt facilities and deferred an additional $0.8 billion of principal payments due under these export facilities between April 2021 and March 2022. The new amounts being deferred are scheduled to be repaid over a five year period starting in April 2022. Under certain of our agreements, the contractual interest rate, facility fee and/or export credit agency fee vary with our debt rating. On February 25, 2021, S&P Global downgraded our senior unsecured rating from B+ to B, which had no financial impact, and downgraded our 10.875% senior secured notes due 2023 and our 11.50% senior secured notes due 2025 (collectively, "the "Secured Notes") and our Silversea Notes which were fully repaid in June 2021 with proceeds from the $650 million June Unsecured Notes, from BB to BB-. This downgrade had no impact on the terms of the notes. Following is a schedule of annual maturities on our total debt net of debt issuance costs and including finance leases, as of December 31, 2021 for each of the next five years (in thousands):
