Oct 29 (Reuters) - Royal Caribbean on Tuesday

raised its annual profit forecast for a fourth time this year,

boosted by the cruise operator's multiple ticket price hikes and

higher demand for cruises to private destinations and cooler

spots.

The company expects annual adjusted earnings per share of

$11.57 to $11.62, compared with its earlier expectations of

profit between $11.35 and $11.45.
