| Income Tax Benefit (Expense) |
NCLH is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The income tax benefit in 2014 primarily related to a change in our corporate entity structure which was completed in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the tax provision reflected an interest expense deduction based on a method supported by the information available at such time. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received additional information which allowed us to elect another acceptable tax method, resulting in a tax benefit of $11.1 million. |
