Disclosure....

[Rev22:17]

Everybody,

By way of full disclosure, I liquidated 40% of my position in Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL), the parent of Celebrity Cruises, today.

This action has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that took place at the company. I still believe that the company is a great investment, with a lot of room to run, and it is still one of my largest holdings.

Quite simply, I had "backed up the truck" by increasing my position to 5,000 shares when the stock fell below $5.00 per share a bit over a year ago. At its current price in the vicinity of $30.00 per share, this position had grown in value to represent nearly 15% of my portfolio. The principles of sound investment dictated that a rebalancing of the portfolio was long overdue, requiring sale of a substantial part of the position.

I'm still looking forward to cruising aboard Celebrity's ships -- yes, NurseDebra, even, no, especially, aboard the ships of the Celebrity Millennium class! -- and to receiving the stockholders' benefit when doing so.

I'm also continuing to hold 3,000 shares of this company as a long-term investment. I'm looking forward to attending the annual stockholders' meeting in Miami a few months, with the hope that many of you also will be there!

Norm.

Norm my dw and I also love the M class Celebrity ships. We are doing a few mega ships such as the Liberty OTS and the Oasis, while we still have our youth and energy. I am only 63 years old. When we get older we will stay with the Celebrity fleet.

We too are stockholders and have enjoyed the stockholder's credit for some time.

Good if you bought it way down low.
Not enough bucks in the kitty to get it when it was that low.

I did bottom feed on a few others that have gone up - but not this much.
