ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES LTD 10-Q

Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. This new system resulted in changes to some of our business processes, accounting systems, and related internal controls. We continue to conduct post-implementation monitoring and enhancements as needed, in order to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions. 32 PART II.
