BREA Market Potential Cruise Operations Port of Jacksonville Presented to Board of Commissioners Jacksonville Port Authority Presented by Andrew J. Moody, Ph.D. January 26, 2009 Presentation Overview • Scope of Work • Background • Market Analysis • Growth Analysis BREA www.breanet.com Slide 2 Scope of Work • Objective: Assess the potential deployment opportunities at the Port of Jacksonville • Key factors affecting deployment opportunities – Relocation and construction of new terminal – Expansion of the North American fleet and its destination deployment – Source market for cruise passengers – Cruise executives’ perceptions of ports – Competition among similarly sized ports – Growth and deployment strategies of individual cruise lines BREA www.breanet.com Slide 3 Background • Port is currently a single ship port offering year-round 4and 5-day cruises to the Bahamas on the Fascination. • Approximately 80% of passengers arrive by ground transportation and 20% by air. – More than 50% of all passengers and 75% of drive-to passengers reside in 5 states (FL, GA, NC, AL, SC) • Current cruise potential is limited due to size of terminal • • facilities and air draft constraint. Relocation and expansion of the cruise facilities at Mayport will allow the port to support larger cruise ships. Fascination and Celebration, before it, have been sailing at over 100% capacity. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 4 Historical Cruise Performance Cruise Sailings and Passengers Cruise Revenues * Estimated from year-to-date sailings and occupancy BREA www.breanet.com Slide 5 Summary of Cruise Operations • When operating on a full–year schedule the Fascination will generate: – 78 sailings – Nearly 180,000 passenger embarkations – $3.9 million in cruise revenues • an average of $21.80 per passenger • or nearly $50,000 per sailing – On average the Fascination has been sailing at 110% of capacity BREA www.breanet.com Slide 6 Market Analysis – Key Components • North American Fleet: Supply & Deployment • Demand: Primary Source Market • Competitive Environment Among Tier 3 Ports • Potential Caribbean Itineraries from Jacksonville BREA www.breanet.com Slide 7 Overview of N.A. Cruise Industry • Industry is entering a reduced growth phase brought about by the global economic recession. – Newbuilds will remain reasonably strong through 2010 and then decelerate through 2013 following a pattern similar to that after 9/11. • Declining yields will drive down construction with a lag. • Some planned and committed projects have been cancelled • Others are being re-negotiated. – European deployments are being re-evaluated with several ships being redeployed to North America.

BREA www.breanet.com Slide 12 The Caribbean and the Southeast Ports • Approximately 6.8 million passengers on more than 3,850 cruises visit the Caribbean annually. – The Eastern & Southern Caribbean has been gaining market share primarily at the expense of the Western Caribbean. • The ports of the Southeast account for about 75% of the cruises and passengers destined for the Caribbean. – The “Tier 1 and Tier 2” ports of South Florida account for about 94% of the passenger volume. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 13 The “Tier 3” Ports of the Southeast • Jacksonville and Mobile are the dominant “Tier 3” ports in the region – Both are year-round and single-ship ports serving a single destination market • Charleston and Norfolk are seasonal ports Cruises and Passengers by Port of Embarkation 2004 Port Ship Calls 2005 Pax Share of Category Ship Calls Pax 2006 Share of Category Ship Calls 2007 Pax Share of Category Ship Calls Pax Share of Category Tier 1 and Tier 2 Ports Miami 641 1,749,000 37.4% 656 1,803,000 38.1% 705 1,866,000 38.4% 679 1,893,000 39.1% Port Everglades 637 1,324,000 28.3% 618 1,283,000 27.1% 534 1,145,000 23.5% 582 1,289,000 26.6% Port Canaveral 464 1,220,000 26.1% 455 1,234,000 26.1% 525 1,396,000 28.7% 482 1,298,000 26.8% Tampa 198 385,000 8.2% 192 408,000 8.6% 222 457,000 9.4% 173 367,000 7.6% 1,940 4,678,000 1,921 4,728,000 1,986 4,864,000 1,916 4,847,000 Subtotal Tier 3 Ports Jacksonville 65 113,728 49.6% 83 137,083 44.0% 77 128,085 42.8% 78 130,148 Norfolk 37 47,888 20.9% 31 45,414 14.6% 17 25,179 8.4% 16 30,660 9.1% Charleston 24 38,892 17.0% 25 41,337 13.3% 29 47,216 15.8% 27 44,379 13.2% 12.6% 28.1% 33.0% 38.9% Mobile 18 28,821 52 87,628 60 98,664 79 130,366 Subtotal 144 229,329 191 311,462 183 299,144 200 335,553 4,907,329 2,112 5,039,462 2,169 5,163,144 2,116 5,182,553 Grand Total BREA www.breanet.com 2,084 38.8% Slide 14 The “Tier 3” Ports of the Southeast • • • • Charleston and Jacksonville offer cruises to the Bahamas Mobile cruises are destined for Mexico Cruises from Norfolk sail to Bermuda and the Caribbean Charleston and Norfolk ships are being redeployed in 2010 – Celebrity adding 5 calls in Charleston in 2010 – Carnival adding 4 calls in Norfolk and 2 in Charleston in 2010 Cruise Itineraries of the Tier 3 Southeast Ports Jacksonville Mobile Charleston Norfolk Grandeur of the Seas Caribbean Bahamas Fascination Holiday Holiday Holiday Bahamas Bahamas Mexico Mexico Mexico Bermuda Bahamas Bahamas Grandeur of the Seas Bermuda 5-Day (A) 5-Day (B) 4-Day 7- Day (B) 5-Day 5-Day 9-Day 6-Day Jacksonville Mobile 5-Day (B) Mobile 7- Day (A) Jacksonville 5-Day (A) Mobile Charleston Charleston Charleston Norfolk Norfolk Norfolk At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea At Sea Key West Cozumel Progreso Cozumel Cozumel Calica San Juan Nassau Jacksonville At Sea At Sea Mobile At Sea At Sea Freeport At Sea King's Wharf King's Wharf At Sea Nassau At Sea Great Stirrup Nassau At Sea Nassau Jacksonville Mobile Mobile Charleston Norfolk 7 Port Canaveral At Sea St. Thomas Dom.

BREA www.breanet.com Slide 20 Destinations in the Bahamas • The Bahamas is capable of supporting multiple cruise itineraries. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 21 Existing Itineraries from Florida Ports • Canaveral to the Eastern Caribbean – Disney Magic – Similar cruises can be easily originated in Jacksonville. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 22 Existing Itineraries from Florida Ports • Canaveral to the Eastern Caribbean – Freedom of the Seas – A similar cruise could be offered from Jacksonville with ship with sufficient speed and range. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 23 Existing Itineraries from Florida Ports • Miami to the Eastern Caribbean – Carnival Triumph – Also possible from Jacksonville. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 24 Implications for Jacksonville • 7-day or longer itineraries to the Eastern Caribbean are certainly feasible from the Port of Jacksonville. • Cruises to the Southern Caribbean while unlikely would have to include at least one call at a Eastern Caribbean port and be 10 days. • 7-day cruises to the Western Caribbean are feasible with an initial call at Key West and two calls in the Western Caribbean. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 25 Summary of Market Analysis • Increase in North American fleet will result in a trickle down of homeport deployment from the major to minor ports. • Caribbean deployment will continue to increase with the Eastern Caribbean increasing its market share. • Jacksonville has only a small penetration into its drive-to market for potential Caribbean cruisers and should be able to attract more passengers from this market. BREA www.breanet.com Slide 26 Summary of Market Analysis • Relocation and construction of the new cruise facility will enhance the port’s image and cruise operations. • There are numerous cruise itineraries throughout the Caribbean that can be offered from the Port of Jacksonville.
