Rhapsody Propulsion

Troubles Affect RCI

Earnings

Royal Caribbean's newest ship,

Rhapsody of the Seas, will enter drydock Sept. 13 for replacement of its starboard propulsion motor which has malfunctioned in recent months.

The ship will return to service

Oct. 5, but the dry docking will necessitate cancellation of two repositioning cruises to Hawaii.

CFO Richard J. Glasier esti- mated the financial impact of the cancellations will be approximate- ly $0.05 per share for the third quarter. On April 22, the ship was approximately 25 miles out of

Chantiers de l'Atlantique when the electric motor overheated dur- ing its delivery trip. Rhapsody returned to the yard for repairs to the starboard propulsion motor.
