MICKY ARISON
Chairman of the Boards
Chief Executive Officer

To our Shareholders:

On behalf of the boards of directors of each of Carnival Corporation
and Carnival plc, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend our joint annual
meetings of shareholders. As we have shareholders in both the United Kingdom and
the United States, our intention is to rotate the location of the annual
meetings between the United States and the United Kingdom each year in order to
accommodate shareholders on both sides of the Atlantic. Last year we held our
annual meetings in Southampton, England, and this year we will be holding them
in New York City.

The annual meetings will be held at Pier 88, New York City Passenger
Ship Terminal in New York City on Thursday, April 22, 2004. The meetings will
commence at 10:00 a.m. (New York time), and although technically two separate
meetings (the Carnival plc meeting will begin first), shareholders of Carnival
Corporation may attend the Carnival plc meeting and vice-versa. Following the
annual meetings, our shareholders will have the opportunity to tour the Queen
Mary 2. Details are included in our mailing materials.

We remind our new shareholders that, as a result of our dual listed
company, or DLC, structure, the conduct of our shareholders meetings differs
from practice you may be accustomed to as shareholders of other companies.
Please see "QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETINGS"
which begins on page __ for an overview of the main differences. In addition,
because this proxy statement complies with the requirements of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the format of the information for the
Carnival plc annual general meeting differs significantly from the format of the
information that shareholders of UK companies are accustomed to receiving.

You will find information regarding the matters to be voted on in the
attached notices of annual meetings of shareholders and proxy statement. THE
CARNIVAL CORPORATION NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING BEGINS ON PAGE 1 AND THE CARNIVAL
PLC NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING BEGINS ON PAGE 3. We are also pleased to
offer most Carnival Corporation and all Carnival plc shareholders the
opportunity to receive future shareholder communications electronically. By
signing up for electronic delivery, shareholders can receive shareholder
communications faster and can help us reduce our printing and mailing costs.
Because of the DLC structure, all voting will take place on a poll (or ballot).

Under the DLC structure, shareholders of both companies effectively
vote together as a single body on most significant matters, called joint
electorate actions. All of the resolutions proposed for this year's annual
meetings are joint electorate actions, which means that Carnival Corporation
shareholders

will be asked to vote on resolutions for Carnival plc as well on resolutions for
Carnival Corporation, and Carnival plc shareholders will be asked to vote on
resolutions for Carnival Corporation as well on resolutions for Carnival plc.
Please see "QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETINGS"
which begins on page __ for a discussion of the voting procedures under the DLC
structure.

The overall results of the joint electorate vote will be announced to
the media and the relevant stock exchanges and posted on the websites of
Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc after both shareholder meetings have
closed.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual
meetings in person, please submit your vote using one of the voting methods
described in the attached materials. Submitting your voting instructions by any
of these methods will not affect your right to attend the meetings in person
should you so choose.

THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" CARNIVAL
CORPORATION PROPOSALS 1-7, WHICH ARE CARNIVAL PLC RESOLUTIONS 1-20.

Thank you for your ongoing support of, and continued interest in,
Carnival Corporation & plc.

Sincerely,

/s/ Micky Arison

VOTING ARRANGEMENTS FOR CARNIVAL PLC SHAREHOLDERS

Carnival plc shareholders can vote in either of two ways:

o by attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the
case of corporate shareholders, by corporate representatives; or

o by appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf, using the
proxy form enclosed with this notice of annual general meeting.

VOTING IN PERSON (OR BY ATTORNEY)

If you come to the annual general meeting, please bring the attendance
card (attached to the enclosed proxy form) with you. This will mean you can
register more quickly. If you appoint an attorney to attend instead of you he or
she should bring an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under
which you have authorized them to attend and vote.

In order to attend and vote at the annual general meeting, a corporate
shareholder may appoint an individual to act as its representative. The
appointment must comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 1985. The
representative should bring evidence of their appointment, including any
authority under which it is signed, to the meeting. If you are a corporation and
considering appointing a corporate representative to represent you and vote your
shareholding in Carnival plc at the annual general meeting you are strongly
encouraged to pre-register your corporate representative to make registration on
the day of the meeting more efficient. In order to pre-register, you would need
to fax your Letter of Representation to Carnival plc's registrar, Lloyds TSB
Registrars, on (0)1903 833085 from within the UK or +44 1903 833085 from
elsewhere.

Please note that there will be a live webcast of the Carnival plc
annual general meeting and the Carnival Corporation annual meeting, which you
can listen to at _____________, Southampton, England, from 3:00 p.m. (London
time). All Carnival plc and Carnival Corporation shareholders and their guests
are welcome to attend, although only Carnival plc and Carnival Corporation
shareholders will be able to submit questions to the directors. Please note
further that only shareholders attending the meetings to be held in New York
will be able to vote in person. Accordingly, Carnival plc shareholders attending
the webcast of the meetings in Southampton will need to submit a proxy (see
below) to make their vote count.

VOTING BY PROXY

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to
appoint one or more proxies to attend and (on a poll) vote instead of him. A
proxy need not be a shareholder of Carnival plc.

To be effective, a duly completed proxy form and the authority (if any)
under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy of such authority, must
be deposited (whether delivered personally or by post) at the offices of
Carnival plc's registrars, Lloyds TSB Registrars, The Causeway, Worthing, West
Sussex, BN99 6DA, UK as soon as possible and in any event no later than 3:00
p.m. (UK time) on April 20, 2004.

Alternatively, a proxy vote may be submitted via the Internet in accordance with
the instructions set out on the proxy form.

In the case of joint registered holders, the signature of one holder on
a proxy card will be accepted and the vote of the senior holder who tenders a
vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the
votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be
determined by the order in which names stand on the register of members of
Carnival plc in respect of the relevant joint holding.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST
service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction")
must be properly authenticated in accordance with CRESTCo's specifications and
must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the
CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment
of a proxy or to an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed
proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the
issuer's agent (ID 7RA01) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy
appointments specified in the notice of meeting. For this purpose, the time of
receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to
the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is
able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by
CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through
CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting
service providers should note that CRESTCo does not make available special
procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and
limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy
Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take
(or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has
appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or
voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure
that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular
time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST
sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those
sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST
system and timings.

Carnival plc may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the
circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities
Regulations 2001.

SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE

Carnival plc, pursuant to Regulation 41of the Uncertificated Securities
Regulations 2001, specifies that only those shareholders registered in the
register of members of Carnival plc at 11:00 p.m. on April 20, 2004 shall be
entitled to attend or vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares
registered in their name at that time. Changes to the entries on the register of
members after 11:00 p.m. on April 20, 2004 shall be disregarded in determining
the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.

DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION

Copies of the following documents will be available for inspection
during normal business hours on any weekday (public holidays excluded) at the
registered office of Carnival plc from the date of this notice until and
including the date of the meeting and at the place of the meeting for at least
15 minutes prior to and during the meeting:

o the register of interests of directors in the share capital of Carnival
plc; and

o copies of all service agreements (including letters of appointment)
between each director and Carnival plc.

* * *

There are 20 Resolutions that require shareholder approval at the
annual meetings this year. The directors unanimously recommend that you vote in
favour of Resolutions 1-20 (inclusive), and encourage you to submit your vote
using one of the voting methods described herein. Submitting your voting
instructions by any of these methods will not affect your right to attend the
meeting in person should you so choose.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETINGS

Q: WHY AM I RECEIVING THESE MATERIALS?

A: The board of directors of each of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc
(together, "Carnival Corporation & plc," "we" or "us") is providing
these proxy materials to you in connection with our joint annual
meetings of shareholders on Thursday, April 22, 2004. The annual
meetings will be held at Pier 88, New York City Passenger Ship
Terminal, 711 12th Avenue, in New York City. The meetings will commence
at 10:00 a.m. (New York time), and although technically two separate
meetings (the Carnival plc meeting will begin first), shareholders of
Carnival Corporation may attend the Carnival plc meeting and
vice-versa. For our UK shareholders, we will be hosting the webcast of
the annual meeting at [__________] in Southampton, England.
Shareholders in Southampton will be able to submit questions to the
directors in New York, but will not be able to vote at that meeting.

Q: WHAT INFORMATION IS CONTAINED IN THESE MATERIALS?

A: The information included in this proxy statement relates to the
proposals to be voted on at the meetings, the voting process, the
compensation of directors and our most highly paid executive officers
and certain other information required by U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission rules applicable to both companies. We have attached as
Annexes A, B and D to this proxy statement information that Carnival
plc is required to provide to its shareholders under applicable UK
rules. Annex C is the charter of our Audit Committees (as revised on
January 19, 2004) and Annex E is our Environmental Policy.

Q: WHAT PROPOSALS WILL BE VOTED ON AT EACH OF THE MEETINGS?

A: The proposals to be voted on at each of the meetings are set out in the
notices of meetings starting on pages 1 and 3 of this proxy statement.

Q: WHAT IS THE VOTING RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS?

A: Your boards of directors recommend that you vote "FOR" all of the
proposals described in this proxy statement.

Q: HOW DOES THE DLC STRUCTURE AFFECT MY VOTING RIGHTS?

A: On most matters that affect all of the shareholders of Carnival
Corporation and Carnival plc, the shareholders of both companies
effectively vote together as a single decision-making body. These
matters are called "joint electorate actions." Combined voting is
accomplished through the special voting shares that have been issued by
each company. Certain matters specified in the organizational documents
of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc where the interests of the two
shareholder bodies may diverge are called "class rights actions." These
class rights actions are voted on separately by the shareholders of
each company. If either group of shareholders does not approve a class
rights action, that action generally cannot be taken by either company.
All of the proposals to be voted on at these annual meetings are joint
electorate actions, and there are no class rights actions.

Q: GENERALLY, WHAT ACTIONS ARE JOINT ELECTORATE ACTIONS?

A: Any resolution to approve an action other than a class rights action or
a procedural resolution (described below) is designated as a joint
electorate action. The actions designated as joint electorate actions
include:

o the appointment, removal or re-election of any director of
either or both companies;

o if required by law, the receipt or adoption of the annual
accounts of both companies;

o the appointment or removal of the independent auditors of
either company;

o a change of name by either or both companies; or

o the implementation of a mandatory exchange of Carnival plc
shares for Carnival Corporation shares based on a change in
tax laws, rules or regulations.

The relative voting rights of Carnival plc shares and Carnival
Corporation shares are equalized based on a ratio which we refer to as
the "equalization ratio." Based on the current equalization ratio of
1:1, each Carnival Corporation share has the same voting rights as one
Carnival plc share on joint electorate actions.

Q: HOW ARE JOINT ELECTORATE ACTIONS VOTED ON?

A: Joint electorate actions are voted on as follows:

o Carnival plc shareholders vote at the annual general meeting
of Carnival plc (whether in person or by proxy). Voting is on
a poll (or ballot) which remains open for sufficient time to
allow the vote at the Carnival Corporation meeting to be held
and reflected in the Carnival plc meeting through the
mechanism of the special voting share. An equivalent vote is
cast at the subsequent Corporation meeting on each of the
corresponding resolutions through a special voting share
issued by Carnival Corporation; and

o Carnival Corporation shareholders vote at the Carnival
Corporation annual meeting (whether in person or by proxy).
Voting is by ballot (or on a poll) which remains open for
sufficient time to allow the vote at the Carnival plc meeting
to be held and reflected in the Carnival Corporation meeting
through the mechanism of the special voting share. An
equivalent vote is cast on the corresponding resolutions at
the Carnival plc meeting through a special voting share issued
by Carnival plc.

A joint electorate action is approved if it is approved by:

o a simple majority of the votes cast in the case of an ordinary
resolution (or not less than 75% of the votes cast in the case
of a special resolution if required by applicable law and
regulations or Carnival plc's articles) by the holders of
Carnival plc's shares and the holder of the Carnival plc
special voting share as a single class at a meeting at which a
quorum was present and acting;

o a simple majority of the votes cast (or other majority if
required by applicable law and regulations or the Carnival
Corporation articles and by-laws) by the holders of Carnival
Corporation shares and the holder of the Carnival Corporation
special voting share, voting as a single class at a meeting
which a quorum was present and acting; and

o a minimum of one-third of the total votes available to be
voted by the combined shareholders must be cast on each
resolution for it to be effective. Formal abstentions (or
votes withheld) by a shareholder on a resolution will be
counted as having been "cast" for this purpose.

Q: HOW ARE THE DIRECTORS OF EACH COMPANY ELECTED OR RE-ELECTED?

A: Resolutions relating to the election or re-election of directors are
considered as joint electorate actions. No person may be a member of
the board of directors of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc without
also being a member of the board of directors of the other company.
There

are 14 nominees for election or re-election to the board of directors
of each company this year. Each nominee currently serves as a director
of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc. All directors are to be
elected or re-elected to serve until the next annual meetings and until
their successors are elected.

Q: WHAT VOTES ARE REQUIRED TO ELECT DIRECTORS OR APPROVE THE OTHER
PROPOSALS?

A: Proposal 7 (which is Resolution 20) is required to be approved by 75%
of the combined votes cast at both meetings.

Each of the other proposals, including the election or re-election of
directors, requires the approval of a majority of the combined votes
cast at both meetings. Abstentions (including votes withheld) and
broker non-votes are not deemed votes cast for purposes of calculating
the vote, but do count for the purpose of determining whether a quorum
is present.

If you are a beneficial owner of Carnival Corporation shares and do not
provide the shareholder of record with a signed voting instruction
card, your shares may constitute broker non-votes, as described in "HOW
IS THE QUORUM DETERMINED?" In tabulating the voting result for any
particular proposal, shares which constitute broker non-votes are not
deemed cast for purposes of calculating the vote.

Q: GENERALLY, WHAT ARE PROCEDURAL RESOLUTIONS?

A: Procedural resolutions are resolutions of a procedural or technical
nature that do not adversely affect the shareholders of the other
company in any material respect and are put to the shareholders at a
meeting. The special voting shares do not represent any votes on
"procedural resolutions." The chairman of each of the meetings will
determine whether a resolution is a procedural resolution.

To the extent that such matters require the approval of the
shareholders of either company, any of the following will be procedural
resolutions:

o that certain people be allowed to attend or be excluded from
attending the meeting;

o that discussion be closed and the question put to the vote
(provided no amendments have been raised);

o that the question under discussion not be put to the vote
(where a shareholder feels the original motion should not be
put to the meeting at all, if such original motion was brought
during the course of that meeting);

o to proceed with matters in an order other than that set out in
the notice of the meeting;

o to adjourn the debate (for example, to a subsequent meeting);
and

o to adjourn the meeting.

Q: WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE MEETING?

A: The voting results will be announced to the media and the relevant
stock exchanges and posted on the website of Carnival Corporation
(www.carnivalcorp.com) and Carnival plc (www.carnivalplc.com), after
both shareholder meetings have closed. The results will also be
published in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter
of fiscal 2004 ending May 31, 2004.

Q: WHAT IS THE QUORUM REQUIREMENT FOR THE MEETINGS?

A: The quorum requirement for holding the meetings and transacting
business at the meetings is one-third of the total votes of all
shareholders of both companies entitled to be voted. Shareholders may
be present in person (or by attorney) or represented by proxy at the
meetings.

Q: HOW IS THE QUORUM DETERMINED?

A: For purposes of determining a quorum with respect to joint electorate
actions, the special voting shares have the maximum number of votes
attached to them as were cast on such joint electorate actions, either
for, against or abstained, at the parallel shareholder meeting of the
other company, and such maximum number of votes (including abstentions)
constitutes shares entitled to vote and present for purposes of
determining whether a quorum exists at such meeting.

In order for a quorum to be validly constituted with respect to
meetings of shareholders convened to consider a joint electorate action
or class rights action, the special voting entities must be present.

Abstentions (including votes withheld) and broker non-votes are counted
as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a
beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal
because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the
beneficial owner and (2) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to
vote such shares.

Q: IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL? A: Proxy instructions, ballots and voting
tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a
manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be
disclosed to third parties except (1) as necessary to meet applicable
legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and
certification of the vote or (3) to facilitate a successful proxy
solicitation by our boards of directors. Occasionally, shareholders
provide written comments on their proxy card which are then forwarded
to management.

Q: WHO WILL BEAR THE COST OF SOLICITING VOTES FOR THE MEETINGS?

A: We will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing
and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes for the
meetings. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
for forwarding proxy materials to shareholders.

Q: CAN I VIEW THE PROXY MATERIALS ELECTRONICALLY?

A: This proxy statement will be posted on our websites at
www.carnivalcorp.com and www.carnivalplc.com. We encourage you to take
advantage of the convenience of accessing these materials through the
Internet as it is simple and fast to use, saves time and money, and is
environmentally friendly.

QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO SHAREHOLDERS OF CARNIVAL CORPORATION

Carnival plc shareholders should refer to the "QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO
SHAREHOLDERS OF CARNIVAL PLC" beginning on page __.

Q: WHAT CARNIVAL CORPORATION SHARES OWNED BY ME CAN BE VOTED?

A: All Carnival Corporation shares owned by you as of February 23, 2004,
the record date, may be voted by you. These shares include those (1)
held directly in your name as the shareholder of record, including
shares purchased through Carnival Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment
Plan and its Employee Stock Purchase Plan and (2) held for you as the
beneficial owner though a stockbroker, bank or other nominee.

Q: WILL I BE ASKED TO VOTE AT THE CARNIVAL PLC ANNUAL MEETING?

A: No. Your vote at the Carnival Corporation annual meeting, for purposes
of determining the outcome of combined voting, is automatically
reflected as appropriate at the parallel annual meeting of Carnival plc
through the mechanism of the special voting share issued by Carnival
plc.

Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING SHARES AS A SHAREHOLDER OF
RECORD AND AS A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

A: Most of the shareholders of Carnival Corporation hold their shares
through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in
their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions
between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Carnival
Corporation's transfer agent, SunTrust Bank, you are considered, with
respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and these proxy
materials are being sent directly to you by us. As the shareholder of
record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the
persons named in the proxy or to vote in person at the meeting.
Carnival Corporation has enclosed a proxy card for you to use.

BENEFICIAL OWNER

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or
other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held
in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by
your broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares,
the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right
to direct your broker on how to vote and are also invited to attend the
meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may
not vote these shares in person at the meeting. Your broker or nominee
has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use.

Q:. HOW CAN I VOTE MY CARNIVAL CORPORATION SHARES IN PERSON AT THE MEETING?

A: Shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record may be
voted in person at the annual meeting. If you choose to do so, please
bring the enclosed proxy card or proof of identification.

Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we recommend that you
also submit your proxy as described below so that your vote will be
counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting. Shares held in
street name may be voted in person by you only if you obtain a signed
proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares.
Please refer to the voting instruction card included by your broker or
nominee.

Q: HOW CAN I VOTE MY CARNIVAL CORPORATION SHARES WITHOUT ATTENDING THE
MEETING?

A: Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or
beneficially in street name, you may direct your vote without attending
the meeting. You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares held in
street name, by submitting voting instructions to your broker or
nominee. For shareholders of record, you may do this by signing your
proxy card and mailing it in the enclosed envelope. If you provided
specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you
instruct. If you sign but do not provide instructions, your shares will
be voted as described below in "HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?"

In most instances, where your shares are held in street name, you will
be able to do this over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, by telephone
or by mail. Please refer to the voting instruction card included by
your broker or nominee.

Q: CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE?

A: You may change your proxy instruction at any time prior to the vote at
the annual meeting. For shares held directly in your name, you may
accomplish this by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which
automatically revokes the earlier proxy) or by attending the annual
meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not cause
your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so
request. For shares owned beneficially by you, you may accomplish this
by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee.

Q: WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY OR VOTING
INSTRUCTION CARD?

A: It means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one
account. Please provide voting instructions on each proxy or voting
card you receive and mail each, as directed.

Q: WHO CAN ATTEND THE CARNIVAL CORPORATION MEETING?

A: All Carnival Corporation shareholders of record as of February 23,
2004, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend and vote at the
meeting. Each shareholder may be asked to present valid picture
identification, such as a driver's license or passport.

If you hold your shares through a stockbroker or other nominee, you
will need to provide proof of ownership by bringing either a copy of
the voting instruction card provided by your broker or a copy of a
brokerage statement showing your share ownership as of February 23,
2004 together with proof of identification. Cameras, recording devices
and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting.

Q: WHAT CLASS OF SHARES ARE ENTITLED TO BE VOTED AT THE CARNIVAL
CORPORATION MEETING?

A: Carnival Corporation has only one class of common stock outstanding.
Each share of Carnival Corporation common stock outstanding as of the
close of business on February 23, 2004, the record date, is entitled to
one vote at the annual meeting. On the record date, Carnival
Corporation had approximately ____________ shares of common stock
issued and outstanding. The trust shares of beneficial interest in the
P&O Princess Special Voting Trust that are paired with your shares of
common stock do not give you separate voting rights.

Q: HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?

A: In the election of directors, you may vote "FOR" all of the nominees or
you may "WITHHOLD" your vote with respect to one or more of the
nominees. In the election of directors, a vote "withheld" on the
Carnival Corporation proxy card has the same effect as a vote against
the indicated nominee or nominees. You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or
"ABSTAIN" for each of

the other proposals. If you "ABSTAIN," it has no effect on the outcome
of the votes, although abstentions will be counted for purposes of
determining if a quorum is present for joint electorate actions. If you
sign your proxy card or broker voting instruction card with no further
instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the
recommendations of the boards of directors.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS ARE PRESENTED AT THE MEETING?

A: Other than the proposals described in this proxy statement, Carnival
Corporation does not expect any matters to be presented for a vote at
the annual meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy
holders, Micky Arison, our Chairman of the board and Chief Executive
Officer, and Arnaldo Perez, Carnival Corporation's Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary, will have the discretion to
vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a
vote at the meeting. If for any unforeseen reason any of our nominees
is unable to accept nomination or election (which is not anticipated),
the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other
candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the boards of directors.

Q: WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTE?

A: A representative of SunTrust Bank, our transfer agent, will tabulate
the votes and act as the inspector of elections.

general meeting.

Q: HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?

A: You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "WITHHOLD" your vote for each of the

----------

* As part of the establishment of the DLC structure, Carnival plc issued a
special voting share to Carnival Corporation, which transferred such share to
the trustee of the P&O Princess Special Voting Trust (the "Trust"), a trust
established under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Trust shares of beneficial
interest in the Trust were transferred to Carnival Corporation. The trust shares
represent a beneficial interest in the Carnival plc special voting share.
Immediately following the transfer, Carnival Corporation distributed such trust
shares by way of a dividend to holders of shares of common stock of Carnival
Corporation. Under a pairing agreement, the trust shares of beneficial interest
in the Trust are paired with, and evidenced by, certificates representing shares
of Carnival Corporation common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, under
the pairing agreement, when a share of Carnival Corporation common stock is
issued to a person after the implementation of the DLC structure, a paired trust
share will be issued at the same time to such person. Each share of Carnival
Corporation common stock and the paired trust share may not be transferred
separately. The Carnival Corporation common stock and the trust shares
(including the beneficial interest in the Carnival plc special voting share) are
listed and trade together on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol
"CCL." Accordingly, each holder of Carnival Corporation common stock is also
deemed to be the beneficial owner of an equivalent number of trust shares.

** As a result of the DLC structure, on most matters that affect all of the
shareholders of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc, the shareholders of both
companies effectively vote together as a single decision-making body. Combined
voting is accomplished through the special voting shares that have been issued
by each company.

*** Less than one percent.

(1) The address of each natural person named, unless otherwise noted, is 3655
N.W. 87 Avenue, Miami, Florida 33178-2428. The address of all other entities,
unless otherwise noted, is 1201 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19899.

(2) Micky Arison and the other members of the Arison family and trusts for their
benefit (collectively, the "Principal Shareholders"), beneficially own shares
representing approximately 42% of the voting power of Carnival Corporation and
approximately 32% of the combined voting power. The Principal Shareholders have
filed a joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the shares of Carnival
Corporation common stock and trust shares (representing a beneficial interest in
a special voting share) held by such persons.

(3) TAMMS Investment Company Limited Partnership ("TAMMS") owns 3,653,168 shares
of common stock. TAMMS' general partner is TAMMS Management Corporation ("TAMMS
Corp."), which is wholly-owned by MBA I, L.P. ("MBA I"). TAMMS' limited partners
are various trusts established for the benefit of certain members of Micky
Arison's family, including Shari Arison (the "Family Trusts"). By virtue of the
limited partnership agreement of TAMMS, TAMMS Corp. may also be deemed to
beneficially own such 3,653,168 shares of common stock. By virtue of its
interest in TAMMS, JMD Delaware, Inc., JJO Delaware, Inc. and Balluta Limited as
trustees of certain of the Family Trusts, may be deemed to beneficially own the
portion of the 3,653,168 shares of common stock held by TAMMS which corresponds
to their partnership interest in TAMMS. Such amounts are included in the number
of shares set forth next to its name in the table above. Because of authority
granted under the trust instrument for the Marilyn B. Arison 2003 Trust (the
"Marilyn Arison 2003 Trust"), Micky Arison may be deemed to beneficially own the
1,032,440 shares held by the Marilyn Arison 2003 Trust by virtue of the limited
partnership interest of MBA I in TAMMS. Because of his position as President and
Treasurer of TAMMS Corp., Micky Arison may be deemed to beneficially own the
remaining 2,620,728 shares of common stock owned by TAMMS; however, Micky Arison
disclaims beneficial ownership of the 2,620,728 shares which are beneficially
owned by TAMMS. Accordingly, Micky Arison has not reported beneficial ownership
of any of the shares owned by TAMMS.

(4) Includes (i) 552,000 shares of common stock issuable to Micky Arison upon
his exercise of stock options granted to him in January 1998, 1999, 2000 and
2001, October 2001 and December 2002, (ii) 2,102,187 shares of common stock held
by the MA 1997 Holdings, L.P., (iii) 106,114,284 shares of common stock held by
the MA 1994 B Shares, L.P., (iv) 92,627,139 shares of common stock held by the
Ted Arison 1992 Irrevocable Trust for Lin No. 2, Ted Arison 1994 Irrevocable
Trust For Shari No. 1 and the Michael Arison 1999 Irrevocable Delaware Trust by
virtue of the authority granted to Micky Arison under the last will of Ted

PROPOSALS 2 & 3 (RESOLUTIONS 15 & 16)
RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR CARNIVAL PLC AND
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
FOR CARNIVAL CORPORATION

The audit committee of the board of directors of Carnival plc has
selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Carnival plc's independent auditors for
the year ending November 30, 2004, subject to approval of our shareholders. The
audit committee of the board of directors of Carnival Corporation has selected
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Carnival Corporation's independent certified
public accountants for the year ending November 30, 2004, subject to approval of
our shareholders. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present
at the annual meetings and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or
she desires to do so. The PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP representative is expected
to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

This resolution would appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the
independent auditors of Carnival plc until the conclusion of the next general
meeting at which accounts are laid. It is a requirement of section 385(2) of the
Companies Act 1985 (the "UK Companies Act") that Carnival plc appoint its
independent auditors at a general meeting at which accounts are laid. You are
also being asked to authorize the audit committee of Carnival plc to determine
the remuneration of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditors of
Carnival plc.

Although ratification by our shareholders of the appointment of
independent certified public accountants for Carnival Corporation is not legally
required, our boards of directors believe that such action is desirable. If our
shareholders do not approve Proposal 2, the audit committees will consider the
selection of another accounting firm for 2004 and future years.

THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE
APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS CARNIVAL PLC'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
FOR THE 2004 FISCAL YEAR, THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS CARNIVAL CORPORATION'S INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE 2004 FISCAL YEAR AND THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE AUDIT
COMMITTEE OF CARNIVAL PLC TO AGREE THE REMUNERATION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS
LLP.

PROPOSAL 4 (RESOLUTION 17)
RECEIPT OF ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS OF CARNIVAL PLC

The directors of Carnival plc are required by the UK Companies Act to
present the financial statements, the directors' report and the auditors' report
relating to those accounts to their shareholders. Accordingly, the directors of
Carnival plc lay before the annual meetings the Carnival plc accounts and the
reports of the directors and auditors for the financial period ended November
30, 2003, which have been approved by and signed on behalf of Carnival plc's
board of directors and will be delivered to Companies

House in the UK following the annual meetings. Shareholders are voting to
approve receipt of these documents, as UK law does not require shareholder
approval of the substance and content of these documents. The UK statutory
directors report and the summary financial statement for the financial period
ended November 30, 2003, together with the auditors' report, is attached to this
proxy statement as Annex A. The full accounts and reports of Carnival plc will
be available for inspection prior to and during the annual meetings.

Only Carnival plc is subject to these rules and, accordingly, no action
is required in respect of the Carnival Corporation & plc consolidated financial
statements.

THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE RECEIPT OF
THE ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS OF CARNIVAL PLC FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER
30, 2003.

PROPOSAL 5 (RESOLUTION 18)
APPROVAL OF DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT

The UK Directors' Remuneration Report Regulations 2002 (the
"Regulations") require companies listed on the Official List of the UK Listing
Authority to prepare a directors' remuneration report, which must be put to a
shareholder vote. Shareholders are voting to approve adoption of the Directors'
Remuneration Report. UK law does not require shareholder approval of the
substance and content of the Directors' Remuneration Report. Accordingly,
disapproval of the Directors' Remuneration Report will not require us to amend
the report although under applicable UK guidelines the boards and Compensation
Committees are expected to take into account both the voting result and the
views of our shareholders in their application, development and implementation
of remuneration policies and schemes.

The Directors' Remuneration Report sets out the board's remuneration
policy for the next and subsequent financial years and other details required by
the Regulations, the Combined Code appended to the Listing Rules of the UK
Listing Authority (the "UK Combined Code") and the Association of British
Insurers Guidelines 2003.

No action is required in respect of the Report of the Compensation
Committees of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc included in this proxy
statement as it is responsive to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL
OF THE CARNIVAL PLC DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT.

PROPOSALS 6 & 7 (RESOLUTIONS 19 & 20)
APPROVAL OF LIMITS ON THE AUTHORITY TO ALLOT CARNIVAL PLC SHARES
AND THE DISAPPLICATION OF PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS FOR CARNIVAL PLC

At the last Carnival plc annual general meeting, the shareholders of
Carnival plc approved appropriate limits on the authority and power granted to
directors by Carnival plc's articles of association to allot ordinary shares of
Carnival plc and to allot shares for cash without making a pre-emptive offer to
existing shareholders. These prior authorizations lapse at the upcoming annual
general meeting.

Under Article 30 of Carnival plc's articles of association, the
directors have, for a "prescribed period," unconditional authority to allot
ordinary shares in Carnival plc up to an aggregate nominal amount known as the
"section 80 amount." The prescribed period and the section 80 amount are
approved by shareholders passing an ordinary resolution. By passing an ordinary
resolution, shareholders are authorizing the board of Carnival plc to issue,
during the prescribed period, up to an amount of shares having an aggregate
nominal value equal to the section 80 amount, without further shareholder
approval. In the absence of such approval, the issuance of any additional shares
would require shareholder approval.

Under Article 31, the directors have, for the same prescribed period,
power to allot ordinary shares for cash without making a pre-emptive offer to
existing shareholders up to an aggregate nominal amount known as the "section 89
amount." The section 89 amount is approved by shareholders passing a special
resolution. By passing a special resolution, shareholders are authorizing the
board of Carnival plc to issue, during the same prescribed period, an amount of
shares having an aggregate nominal value equal to the section 89 amount, for
cash without first offering them to existing shareholders of Carnival plc.

Carnival Corporation's articles of incorporation do not contain
provisions similar to Articles 30 and 31 of Carnival plc's articles of
association and holders of Carnival Corporation shares do not have pre-emption
rights. Accordingly, no action is required in respect of Carnival Corporation's
authority to allot shares or to disapply pre-emption rights.

In common with many UK companies, resolutions to renew the prescribed
period and re-establish the section 80 amount and the section 89 amount are
normally proposed each year as the directors believe occasions may arise from
time to time when it would be beneficial for shares to be allotted and for
shares to be allotted for cash without making a pre-emptive offer. This is the
purpose of Resolution 19 (an ordinary resolution) and Resolution 20 (a special
resolution). As usual, the prescribed period is the period from the passing of
the resolutions until the next annual general meeting.

Guidelines issued by the Association of British Insurers, whose member
insurance companies are some of the largest institutional investors in UK listed
companies, require the section 80 amount to be limited to the lesser of (a) the
authorized but unissued ordinary share capital and (b) one-third of the issued
ordinary share capital. By reference to Carnival plc's issued ordinary share
capital on February 23, 2004, the maximum section 80 amount is
U.S.$[25,000,452], which is the nominal value of the authorized but unissued
ordinary share capital of Carnival plc and is equivalent to approximately 7.14%
of Carnival plc's issued share capital.

Guidelines issued by the Pre-emption Group, a group comprising
representatives of UK listed companies, investment institutions and corporate
finance practitioners and formed under the support of the London Stock Exchange
(the "LSE") to monitor the operation of the Guidelines, recommend that a
resolution to disapply section 89 of the UK Companies Act should be limited to
an amount of equity securities not exceeding 5% of the nominal value of the
company's issued ordinary share capital. By reference to Carnival plc's issued
ordinary share capital on February 23, 2004, the maximum section 89 amount is
U.S.$[17,499,977].

The directors have no commitment or plans to allot additional shares of
Carnival plc.

Carnival plc's authorized share capital is $375 million and
(pound)100,002 divided into 225,903,614 ordinary shares of $1.66 each, two
subscriber shares, 99,998 preference shares, a special voting share of (pound)1
and an equalization share of (pound)1. As of February 23, 2004, there were
[210,843,101] ordinary shares allotted and issued. The proposals you are voting
on do not increase the authorized share capital of Carnival plc.

THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL
OF LIMITS ON THE AUTHORITY TO ALLOT CARNIVAL PLC SHARES AND THE DISAPPLICATION
OF PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS FOR CARNIVAL PLC.

BOARD STRUCTURE AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

BOARD MEETINGS

During the year ended November 30, 2003, the board of directors of
Carnival Corporation held a total of seven meetings, three of which were on or
after April 17, 2003 (the date the DLC structure was implemented) and the board
of directors of Carnival plc held a total of eight meetings, three of which were
on or after April 17, 2003. Effective April 17, 2003, the boards were
reconstituted to reflect the DLC structure.

During the year ended November 30, 2003, each Carnival Corporation
director attended either telephonically or in person at least 75% of all
Carnival Corporation board of directors and applicable committee meetings. Since
April 17, 2003, each Carnival plc director attended either telephonically or in
person at least 75% of all Carnival plc board of directors and applicable
committee meetings.

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that our non-management
directors will meet in executive session at least quarterly. Our non-management
directors (all of whom satisfy the independence requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange currently in effect, as discussed below), acting in executive
session, elected Stuart Subotnick as the Presiding Director to preside at these
meetings. Mr. Subotnick will also act as the senior independent director under
the UK Combined Code.

All board members are expected to attend our annual meetings of
shareholders. At the 2003 annual meetings, all of the current board members of
each company were in attendance.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The board of directors of each of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc
has established standing Audit, Nominating & Governance, Compensation and
Executive Committees, which are comprised of the same directors for each
company. A majority of the directors of each company and all of the members of
the Audit Committee, Nominating & Governance Committee and Compensation
Committee of each company are independent (as defined by the listing standards
of the NYSE currently in effect and the UK Combined Code).

The membership and function of each committee is described below and a
copy of the charter of each of the Audit, Nominating & Governance and
Compensation Committees is available on either of our websites,
www.carnivalcorp.com or www.carnivalplc.com. Our Audit Committee charter, which

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

Upon the advice and recommendation of the Carnival Corporation
Nominating & Governance Committee, the Carnival Corporation board adopted
Corporate Governance Guidelines on January 7, 2003. These guidelines, now
applicable to the board of Carnival plc as well, were amended on June 25, 2003
and, as discussed below, on January 20, 2004. These guidelines address various
governance issues and principles, including director qualifications and
responsibilities, access to management personnel, director compensation,
director orientation and continuing education and annual performance evaluations
of the boards and directors. The NYSE recently adopted rules that require listed
companies to adopt governance guidelines covering certain matters. We have
reviewed our Corporate Governance Guidelines and believe they comply with the
NYSE rules and the UK Combined Code. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are
posted on our websites at www.carnivalcorp.com and www.carnivalplc.com.

NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are two separate legal entities
and, therefore, each has a separate board of directors, each of which in turn
has its own Nominating & Governance Committee. As the DLC structure requires
that there be identical boards of directors, the Committees make one set of
determinations in relation to both companies.

The Nominating & Governance Committees actively seek individuals
qualified to become board members and recommend to the boards the nominees to
stand for election as directors at the annual meeting of shareholders or, if
applicable, at a special meeting of shareholders.

When evaluating prospective candidates for director, regardless of the
source of the nomination, the Nominating & Governance Committees will consider,
in accordance with their charter, such factors, as it deems appropriate,
including:

o the candidate's judgment;

o the candidate's skill;

o diversity considerations;

o the candidate's experience with businesses and other
organizations of comparable size;

o the interplay of the candidate's experience with the
experience of other board members; and

o the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable
addition to the boards and any committees of the boards.

The Nominating & Governance Committees will also use their best efforts
to seek to ensure that the composition of the boards at all times adheres to the
independence requirements applicable to companies listed for trading on the NYSE
and the LSE. The Nominating & Governance Committees may consider candidates
proposed by management, but is not required to do so. Other than the foregoing,
there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees.

The Nominating & Governance Committees identify nominees by first
evaluating the current members of the boards willing to continue in service.
Current members of the boards with skills and experience that are relevant to
our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for
re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members
of the boards with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the
boards does not wish to continue in service or if the Nominating & Governance
Committees or the boards decide not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the
Nominating & Governance Committees identify the desired skills and experience of
a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Nominating
& Governance Committees and the boards are polled for suggestions as to
individuals meeting the criteria of the Nominating & Governance

Committees. The Nominating and Governance Committees intend to engage a third
party search firm to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential
nominees.

PROCEDURES REGARDING DIRECTOR CANDIDATES RECOMMENDED BY SHAREHOLDERS

The Nominating & Governance Committees will also consider shareholder
recommendations of qualified nominees when such recommendations are submitted in
accordance with the procedures below. In order to have a nominee considered by
the Nominating & Governance Committees for election at the 2005 annual meetings,
a shareholder must submit its recommendation in writing to the attention of our
Secretary at our headquarters not later than November 7, 2004. Any such
recommendation must include:

o the name and address of the candidate;

o the candidate's signed consent to serve as a director if
elected and to be named in the proxy statement.

Once we receive the recommendation, we will deliver to the candidate a
questionnaire that requests additional information about the candidate's
independence, qualifications and other matters that would assist the Nominating
& Governance Committees in evaluating the candidate, as well as certain
information that must be disclosed about the candidate in our proxy statement or
other regulatory filings, if nominated. Candidates must complete and return the
questionnaire within the time frame provided to be considered for nomination by
the Committees.

COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN SHAREHOLDERS AND THE BOARDS

At the meeting of the boards on January 20, 2004, Carnival Corporation
and Carnival plc, upon the approval of the independent directors, amended the
Corporate Governance Guidelines to formalize procedures to facilitate
communications to the boards from shareholders. Shareholders who wish to
communicate with the boards should address their communications to the attention
of the Secretary of Carnival Corporation at 3655 N.W. 87th Avenue, Miami,
Florida 33178-2428. The Secretary will maintain a log of all such
communications, promptly forward to the Presiding Director those which the
Secretary believes require immediate attention, and also periodically provide
the Presiding Director with a summary of all such communications and any
responsive actions taken. The Presiding Director will notify the boards or the
chairs of the relevant board committees as to those matters that he believes are
appropriate for further action or discussion.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

On January 21, 1997, Carnival Corporation adopted a Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics, which Carnival Corporation has amended periodically to
remain in line with best practices. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was
amended most recently on January 20, 2004 and has been adopted by the board of
Carnival plc. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all employees
of Carnival Corporation & plc and is posted on our websites,
www.carnivalcorp.com and www.carnivalplc.com.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive an annual retainer
of $40,000 per year, an attendance fee per board meeting of $5,000 ($2,000 if
meeting attended by telephone), options to acquire 6,000 shares of Carnival
Corporation common stock as further described below and reimbursement for
expenses attendant to their board membership. In addition, they receive
additional compensation for serving as a member of a board committee, as
follows:

RETAINER ATTENDANCE FEE
-------------- ------------------
IN BY
CHAIR MEMBER PERSON TELEPHONE
----- ------ ------ ---------
Audit Committee........................10,000 $ 5,000 $ 2,500 $ 1,000
All other Committees................... 5,000 $ 2,500 $ 2,000 $ 1,000

For purposes of calculating fees, a board or committee meeting of
Carnival Corporation and a concurrent or related board or committee meeting of
Carnival plc constitute a single meeting. Directors who are employed by us or
our subsidiaries do not receive any compensation for their board activities.

Non-employee directors receive options under the 2001 Outside Director
Stock Option Plan (the "Outside Director Plan"). The Outside Director Plan was
adopted by the Carnival Corporation board on February 16, 2001 and approved by
Carnival Corporation shareholders on April 17, 2001 to provide additional
compensation to non-employee directors. Currently, each non-employee director is
granted an option to purchase 6,000 shares of Carnival Corporation common stock
annually at the time he or she is elected to the boards of directors by the
shareholders or at such other time during the year approved by the boards of
directors. The exercise price of each option granted under the Outside Director
Plan is equal to the average of the high and the low sales price of a share of
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the date an option
is granted. Options granted under the Outside Director Plan vest and become
exercisable in five equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary
of the grant date and expire ten years from the date of grant. The maximum
number of shares of common stock which may be made subject to options under the
Outside Director Plan is 800,000. The Outside Director Plan expires on January
1, 2011.

During fiscal 2003, 6,000 options were granted on October 13, 2003
under the Outside Director Plan at an exercise price equal to $34.45 to Messrs.
Capen, Donald, Maidique, McNulty, Subotnick and Zucker. Baroness Hogg and Sir
John Parker, as UK directors, have elected not to participate in the Outside
Director Plan.

reimbursement practices during fiscal 2003 for non-employee directors is
included in the Carnival plc Directors' Remuneration Report, which forms a part
of the Carnival plc UK Report and UK GAAP Summary Financial Statement, attached
as Annex B to this proxy statement.

entities with separate officers, our business is run by a single management
team. The following table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by, or
paid to our Chief Executive Officer and our four other most highly compensated
executive officers (each of whom are also members of our board of directors) for

----------

(1) Except in the case of Peter Ratcliffe, represents options granted in
respect of Carnival Corporation common stock. In the case of Mr. Ratcliffe,
represents stock options granted in respect of Carnival plc ordinary
shares. No stock appreciation rights were granted to the executive officers
in fiscal 2003.

(2) Except in the case of options granted to Mr. Ratcliffe, the term for each
option is ten years and, subject to accelerated vesting upon the death or
disability of the option holder, each option is exercisable in amounts
equal to twenty percent of the aggregate number of shares underlying the
option, on the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The
term of each option granted to Mr. Ratcliffe is 10 years and, subject to
accelerated vesting upon a general offer or other change of control of
Carnival plc, each option is exercisable on and from the third anniversary
of the date of grant.

(3) Except in the case of Mr. Ratcliffe, represents the percent of Carnival
Corporation options granted. In the case of Mr. Ratcliffe, represents the
percent of Carnival plc options granted.

(4) Except in the case of options granted to Mr. Ratcliffe, represents fair
market value of Carnival Corporation common stock at date of grant. In the
case of Mr. Ratcliffe, represents the middle market quotation of Carnival
plc ordinary shares on the date of grant.

(5) In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the
Black-Scholes option pricing model was chosen to estimate the Grant Date
Present Value of the Carnival Corporation options set forth in this table
at $12.37 per share at December 2, 2002, $15.52 per share at August 1, 2003
and $15.59 per share at October 13, 2003 and the Carnival plc options at
$11.00 per share at April 15, 2003. Our use of this model should not be
construed as an endorsement of its accuracy at valuing options. All stock
option models require a prediction about the future movement of the stock
price. The Grant Date Present Values presented in the table were determined
in part using the following assumptions:

CARNIVAL CORPORATION CARNIVAL PLC
----------------------------------------------------- --------------
DECEMBER 2, 2002 AUGUST 1, 2003 OCTOBER 13, 2003 APRIL 15, 2003
---------------- -------------- ---------------- --------------

Expected dividend yield........................ 1.27% 1.30% 1.32% 1.30%
Expected option life........................... 6 years 6 years 6 years 6 years

The real value of the options in this table depends upon the actual
performance of Carnival Corporation common stock and the Carnival plc
ordinary shares during the applicable period and upon when they are
exercised. The approach used in developing the assumptions upon which
the Black-Scholes valuation was done is consistent with the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".

----------
(1) During the year ended November 30, 2003, as required by the Deferred Bonus
Plan, Peter Ratcliffe invested 50% of his post-tax cash bonus for the 2002
calendar year to acquire share awards held under the Deferred Bonus Plan with
the opportunity to earn a matching award of up to 13,304 Carnival plc ordinary
shares. The extent to which Mr. Ratcliffe may receive his matching award is
based on the growth over the three-year retention period in earnings per share
of Carnival Corporation & plc as disclosed in Carnival Corporation & plc's
audited financial statements. If Carnival Corporation & plc achieves earnings
per share growth of 15% over this period, Mr. Ratcliffe will be entitled to 25%
of his matching award, or an additional 3,326 shares. If earnings per share
growth is 50%, Mr. Ratcliffe will receive his entire matching award, or an
additional 13,304 shares. For growth between 15% and 50%, the extent to which a
matching award is exercised is determined on a straight-line basis between these
points. Generally, the matching award may only be exercised if the share award
and invested shares are retained throughout the retention period.

COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

EXECUTIVE LONG-TERM COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

Carnival Corporation has entered into Executive Long-Term Compensation
Agreements (the "Compensation Agreements") with Micky Arison, its Chairman of
the board and Chief Executive Officer, Howard S. Frank, its Vice Chairman of the
board and Chief Operating Officer, and Robert H. Dickinson, President and Chief
Executive Officer of CCL (each an "Officer"). The Compensation Agreements
provide that during the term of such Officer's employment, Carnival Corporation
will provide long-term compensation (in addition to his annual compensation
consisting of a base salary and annual bonus, which in the case of Mr. Dickinson
is awarded under the 1994 Carnival Cruise Lines Key Management Incentive Plan)
in the form of annual grants to each Officer, contingent upon satisfactory
performance, as follows: Mr. Arison, 60,000 restricted shares of common stock
and 120,000 options to purchase common stock; Mr. Frank, 50,000 restricted
shares of common stock and 100,000 options to purchase common stock; and Mr.
Dickinson, 40,000 restricted shares of common stock and 80,000 options to
purchase common stock.

The options vest in five equal annual installments beginning one year
from the date of grant and the restricted shares of common stock vest five years
from the date of grant. Unvested options and restricted shares of common stock
are forfeited if an Officer's employment is terminated for cause, if he engages
in competition with Carnival Corporation or if he violates the nondisclosure
provisions of the Compensation Agreement.

In addition, in April 2003, Carnival Corporation entered into
agreements with Mr. Frank and Mr. Dickinson to award them a special one-time
grant of 100,000 and 160,000 restricted shares of Carnival Corporation common
stock.

RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT

In 1999 and years prior thereto, Mr. Lanterman deferred receipt of a
portion of his annual bonus. In exchange, Carnival Corporation and Mr. Lanterman
entered into a Retirement and Consulting Agreement which provides that Carnival
Corporation will pay him the deferred bonus amounts plus interest in monthly
installments over the 15 years following his retirement.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

On completion of the DLC transaction, Peter Ratcliffe entered into an
employment agreement with P&O Princess Cruises International Ltd ("POPCIL")
under which he was appointed Chief Executive Officer of POPCIL responsible for
the Princess, P&O Cruises, Swan Hellenic, Ocean Village, P&O Cruises (Australia)
and Cunard Line Limited brands (the "P&O Princess brands") and other business
conducted by POPCIL from time to time. It is anticipated that, effective
February 27, 2004, substantially all of the business and assets of POPCIL will
be transferred to Carnival plc and Mr. Ratcliffe's employment will automatically
transfer with the business on its existing terms and conditions to Carnival plc.

Mr. Ratcliffe's base salary is $1.1 million with an annual bonus based
on a specified percentage of the net income from the P&O Princess brands. Fifty
percent of the annual bonus is payable in cash with the remaining fifty percent
payable in the form of a conditional right to receive shares in Carnival plc
("share awards") after a retention period of three years pursuant to the terms
of the Deferred Bonus Plan. If the share awards are not granted, POPCIL must pay
the remaining portion of such bonus in cash. Mr. Ratcliffe is eligible for a
match of his share award granted in 2003 in respect of his 2002 bonus up to 100%
depending on the earnings per share growth of Carnival Corporation & plc as
described under "CARNIVAL PLC LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS". Mr. Ratcliffe will,
subject to the recommendation of the trustee of the P&O Princess Cruises
Employee Benefit Trust, be entitled to receive share awards in future years in
respect of 50% of his annual bonus (subject to the value of the annual bonus
share award in any year not exceeding 50% of his base salary) but will not be
entitled to matching awards or to contribute any part of his bonus in further
share awards.

Subject to satisfactory performance conditions during the year, Mr.
Ratcliffe is entitled to receive annual non-qualified stock options to purchase
50,000 shares of Carnival Corporation common stock pursuant to the terms of the
Carnival Corporation 2002 Stock Plan. The options vest in five equal annual
installments beginning one year from the date of grant. Unvested options are
forfeited if Mr. Ratcliffe's employment is terminated for cause or because he is
in material violation of the non-competition, non-disclosure or intellectual
property provisions of his employment agreement, or by Mr. Ratcliffe prior to
the age of 60 other than a as a result of a terminal medical condition or for
good reason as defined in his employment agreement.

Mr. Ratcliffe is also entitled to certain fringe benefits available to
other senior executives as well as participation in the P&O Princess Cruises
Pension Scheme and the Princess Cruises Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

If Mr. Ratcliffe's employment agreement is terminated by POPCIL without
"Cause" or is terminated by Mr. Ratcliffe with "Good Reason" (as such terms are
defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Ratcliffe is entitled to compensation
of base salary, a bonus equal to the bonus paid the year prior to termination
and certain benefits such as a car, medical insurance and recreational/health
club membership fees unless Mr. Ratcliffe becomes eligible for similar benefits
from another employer prior to expiration of the 12 month period. If Mr.
Ratcliffe's employment is terminated for "Cause," no additional payments are due
(other than amounts accrued, but unpaid) as of the date of termination.
Termination for reasons other than POPCIL termination for Cause, termination by
Mr. Ratcliffe without Good Reason or termination by reason of a material breach
of the non-disclosure or intellectual property provisions of the employment
agreement, permits Mr. Ratcliffe to retain his share awards and matching awards
in the plan for the full retention period, subject to certain exceptions.

All options granted to Mr. Ratcliffe before December 31, 2002 vested in
full on completion of the DLC transaction and became exercisable from that date
until the scheduled 10-year expiration date of each set of options. In the event
of Mr. Ratcliffe's termination before exercise, the outstanding options lapse on
the later of 12 months following termination (but not later than the 10-year
expiration date) or 42 months following grant. Further, POPCIL exercised its
discretion to allow the options granted to Mr. Ratcliffe on April 15, 2003 to be
exercised in full between three years from the date of grant and the 10-year
expiration date of the options without reference to any performance targets. In
the event of Mr. Ratcliffe's termination before exercise, the outstanding
options lapse on the later of 12 months following termination (but not later
than the 10-year expiration date) or 42 months following grant.

Additional long-term compensation information for the directors of
Carnival plc for the financial period ended November 30, 2003 is included in the
Carnival plc Directors' Remuneration Report, which forms a part of the Carnival
plc UK Report and UK GAAP Summary Financial Statement, attached as Annex B to
this proxy statement.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During the year ended November 30, 2003, the composition of the
Carnival Corporation Compensation Committee changed. Until April 17, 2003,
Messrs. Sherwood M. Weiser, Uzi Zucker and Modesto A. Maidique served as members
of the Carnival Corporation Compensation Committee. Mr. Weiser resigned from the
board of directors of Carnival Corporation and the Compensation Committee on
April 17, 2003. Mr. Zucker resigned from the Compensation Committee on April 17,
2003.

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are two separate legal entities
and, therefore, each has a separate board of directors, each of which in turn
has its own Compensation Committee. Effective April 17, 2003, Dr. Maidique was
appointed Chairman, and Sir John Parker was appointed as a member, of the
Compensation Committee of the board of directors of each of Carnival Corporation
and Carnival plc. John P. McNulty was appointed as a member of each of the
Compensation Committees on June 25, 2003.

TRANSACTIONS WITH SHERWOOD M. WEISER. Mr. Weiser is currently a
managing member of and owns a membership interest in Continental Hospitality
Holdings, LLC ("CHH"). In June 2002, CHH redeemed Carnival Corporation's entire
55% interest in CHH for $1.1 million paid in cash, a $4.3 million
interest-bearing promissory note and certain additional contingent
consideration. The note is personally guaranteed by Mr. Weiser and certain other
owners of CHH. During fiscal 2003, Carnival Corporation received principal and
interest payments of approximately $966,000 and $206,000, respectively, under
the promissory note.

Plan") and Supplement Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP").

A participant's benefits under the Carnival Corporation Pension Plan
are calculated based on an employee's length of service with Carnival
Corporation and the average of the participant's five highest consecutive years
of compensation (including base pay, overtime, bonuses and commissions) out of
the last ten years of service. The eligible compensation with respect to the
individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table includes base salary and
cash bonuses. The Carnival Corporation Pension Plan provides an early retirement
benefit at age 55 after completion of 15 years of service, subject to a
reduction of .5% for each month that distribution of benefits precedes the
participant's Normal Retirement Date.

The normal form of payment is a straight life annuity with benefits
ceasing at the later of the death of the participant or five years from the date
of first payment. If the employee is married, pension benefits are presumptively
payable on a reduced 50% joint and survivor annuity basis with the employee's
spouse as the contingent annuitant. If the employee is not married, pension
benefits are paid as a lump sum to the participant's beneficiary or estate, as
applicable. For retired or terminated employees, other forms of distribution are
available under the Carnival Corporation Pension Plan.

The Carnival Corporation Pension Plan does not reduce benefits on
account of Social Security (or any other benefit), other than as reflected in
the benefit formula which is integrated with Social Security.

Carnival Corporation established the SERP to provide benefits to a
select group of management or highly compensated employees. Currently, only
Robert H. Dickinson and Howard S. Frank are eligible to participate. The SERP
provides a benefit equal to 50% of cash compensation (as defined in the SERP)
reduced proportionately for each year of service less than 25. Mr. Dickinson and
Mr. Frank have already satisfied the 25 year service requirement. The SERP
provides an early retirement benefit at age 55 after completion of 15 years of
service, subject to a reduction of .25% for each month that distribution of
benefits precedes the participant's Normal Retirement Date.

The SERP benefit is offset for any benefit payable under the Carnival
Corporation Pension Plan and for Social Security benefits. The form of payment
is either a lump-sum, life annuity (with either a 5-year or 10-year certain
benefit) or a joint and survivor annuity for married participants.

As of December 31, 2003, the years of credited service under the
Carnival Corporation Pension Plan for each of the executive officers named in
the Summary Compensation Table, except for A. Kirk Lanterman and Peter
Ratcliffe, who are not eligible for participation in the Carnival Corporation
Pension Plan, was as follows: Micky Arison, age 54, with 29 credited years of
service; Robert H. Dickinson, age 61, 29 years; and Howard S. Frank, age 63, 15
years. In consideration of Mr. Frank's forfeiture of retirement benefits from
his prior employer, on April 17, 1995, the Compensation Committee approved an
agreement with Mr. Frank whereby Carnival Corporation agreed to compensate Mr.
Frank upon his retirement for benefits he would have received under the Carnival
Corporation Pension Plan if he had been credited with an additional 13 years of
service in addition to the actual years of credited service, reduced by the
amounts payable to him under the Carnival Corporation Pension Plan. He is also
credited with an additional 13 years of service under the SERP.

Carnival Corporation has a benefit limitation policy for the Carnival
Corporation Pension Plan consistent with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code") applicable only to Micky Arison. The annual
compensation covered by the Carnival Corporation Pension Plan for the calendar
year 2003 for Micky Arison is limited to $295,404 (as may be indexed) pursuant
to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

The following table sets forth the estimated pension benefits payable
to Micky Arison at the Normal Retirement Date pursuant to the Carnival
Corporation Pension Plan:

UK PENSION SCHEME

Pursuant to the P&O Princess Cruises Pension Scheme (the "UK Scheme"),
a UK resident defined-benefit scheme approved by the UK Inland Revenue,
participants generally accrue pension rights at a rate of up to 1/60th of final
salary for each year of service, although the accrual rate varies by employee.
Peter Ratcliffe accrues pension rights under the UK Scheme at a rate of up to
1/45th of final salary for years of service after April 1, 1988. He accrues
pension rights at a rate of up to 1/60th of final salary for each year prior to
April 1, 1988. For this purpose, final salary is defined as the basic salary
received in the final 12 months of service less (other than in the case of Mr.
Ratcliffe) 1.5 times the threshold for UK National Insurance payments for the
applicable year (the "Lower Earnings Limit"). Normal retirement age is 63 for
general employees and 60 for sea staff and certain senior executives. In
addition, a cash supplement is paid equal to 1/20th of the Lower Earnings Limit
for shore employees or 1/8th of the Lower Earnings Limit for sea employees for
each year of pensionable service.

Peter Ratcliffe is our only named executive officer who is eligible for
pension benefits from Carnival plc. Mr. Ratcliffe has 33 years of credited
service under the UK Scheme. The estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement to Mr. Ratcliffe under the UK Scheme at the normal retirement age of
60 is $802,933 based on unchanged basic salary.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

Carnival plc has established the Princess Cruises Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan in the United States (the "Supplemental Plan"). This
plan provides benefits to supplement those received from other plans, including
the UK Scheme. The overall effect is to provide, on retirement, a pension of 65%
of final salary, subject to having completed 15 years' service. For this
purpose, final salary is the average basic salary for the five years immediately
preceding retirement. Peter Ratcliffe's service in the Supplemental Plan
commenced on September 1, 1986, so as his service exceeds 15 years, the maximum
pension would be payable on retirement. Normal retirement age is 60. If benefits
from the U.K. Scheme exceed those resulting from the Supplemental Plan, no
further amounts are payable under the Supplemental Plan.

Additional information with respect to pension plan arrangements for
Carnival plc for the financial period ended November 30, 2003 is included in the
Carnival plc Directors' Remuneration Report, which forms a part of the Carnival
plc UK Report and UK GAAP Summary Financial Statement, attached as Annex B to
this proxy statement.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEES

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are two separate legal entities
and, therefore, each has a separate board of directors, each of which in turn
has its own Compensation Committee. As there is a single management team, the
Committees (which have three identical members), make one set of determinations
in relation to both companies.

This report of the Compensation Committees sets out the compensation
policies of the Compensation Committee with respect to the Chief Executive
Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers for the
year ended November 30, 2003, details of whose compensation is set forth under
"EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION" in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission requirements. Further information on our compensation policies as
required under applicable UK law is set out in the Carnival plc Directors'
Remuneration Report, which forms a part of the Carnival plc UK Report and UK
GAAP Summary Financial Statement, attached as Annex B to this proxy statement.

The Compensation Committees are responsible for annually recommending
to the boards of directors the cash compensation payable to the executive
officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and for the administration of
the Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc stock-based incentive plans.
Compensation decisions by the Compensation Committees are submitted to the
relevant boards of directors for approval.

The Compensation Committee for each of Carnival Corporation and
Carnival plc is currently comprised of Dr. Modesto A. Maidique, Mr. John P.
McNulty and Sir John Parker, each of whom is independent as defined by the
listing standards of the NYSE currently in effect. During a portion of fiscal
2003, the Compensation Committee for Carnival Corporation was comprised of
Messrs. Sherwood M. Weiser, Uzi Zucker and Modesto A. Maidique, each of whom was
independent as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

The key components of the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
and the other executive officers are base salary, annual bonus and stock-based
incentives. The objective is to create compensation packages for executive
officers that are competitive with compensation payable by comparable peer
companies, as well as to provide both short-term rewards and long-term
incentives for positive individual and corporate performance. The various
components of executive compensation are discussed below.

BASE SALARIES

Overall, the base salaries of executive officers, including the base
salary of the Chief Executive Officer, are set at a level the Committees believe
to be below the median of salaries paid to executives of comparable peer
companies. The objective is to emphasize the variable annual bonus as the most
important cash compensation feature of executive compensation as a reward for
contributions made towards achieving Carnival Corporation & plc's goals,
including profitability.

BONUSES

The emphasis on the annual discretionary bonus for the Chief Executive
Officer and other corporate level executive officers allows Carnival Corporation
& plc greater flexibility in rewarding favorable individual and corporate
performance than possible under a salary-oriented structure. The annual bonus to
Robert Dickinson is based on the financial performance of Carnival Cruise Lines
and is determined pursuant to the terms of the 1994 Carnival Cruise Lines Key
Management Incentive Plan (the "CCL Plan"). The annual bonus for Mr. Lanterman,
Chief Executive Officer of HAL is based on the financial performance of HAL. The
annual bonus for Peter Ratcliffe is based on the financial performance of the
P&O Princess brands and any other brands for which he is responsible during the
financial year.

Although there is no specific relationship between the bonus for the
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer and the performance for
the 2003 fiscal year, the Compensation Committees considered generally the
individual performance of such executives as well as the financial performance
of Carnival Corporation & plc for fiscal 2003 and the shareholder return
reflected in the Performance Graphs appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement.

STOCK-BASED INCENTIVES

The third component of Carnival Corporation & plc's executive
compensation is comprised of stock-based incentive plans. Whereas the cash bonus
payments are intended to reward positive short-term individual and corporate
performance, grants under the stock-based plans are intended to provide
executives with longer term incentives, which appreciate in value with the
continued favorable future performance of Carnival Corporation & plc. The
Compensation Committees approve grants of stock options and restricted stock
pursuant to the 2002 Stock Plan, the Carnival plc stock option plan and the
other stock-based incentive plans described elsewhere in this proxy statement
based on the individual performance of the executive officers, oversee the
activities of individuals and committees responsible for administering the plan,
and discharge any responsibilities of the Committees pursuant to any such plans.

OTHER COMPENSATION

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc have entered into various
compensation-related agreements with individual officers. See "EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION--EXECUTIVE LONG-TERM COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS" and "EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION--EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT." Such agreements include stock compensation
agreements and employment agreements. The Committees and the boards of directors
will continue to consider such arrangements in the future in connection with
circumstances that warrant an individualized compensation arrangement.

In fiscal 2003, some of Carnival Corporation's executive officers also
participated in Carnival Corporation's nonqualified defined benefit pension plan
and all were able to participate in Carnival Corporation's nonqualified
401(k)/profit sharing plan. In addition, two of Carnival Corporation's executive
officers participated in Carnival Corporation's supplemental executive
retirement plan and Peter Ratcliffe participated in the Carnival plc UK Scheme
and Supplemental Plan.

REVIEW OF POLICIES

The Committees have engaged an outside compensation consultant, Watson,
Wyatt & Company, to perform a comprehensive review of the compensation policies
of Carnival Corporation & plc. This review is expected to be completed in fiscal
2004.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPHS

CARNIVAL CORPORATION

The following graph compares the Price Performance of $100 if invested
in Carnival Corporation common stock with the Price Performance of $100 if
invested in each of the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industry Group REQ
(leisure services and products). The Price Performance, as used in the
Performance Graph, is calculated by assuming $100 is invested at the beginning
of the period in Carnival Corporation common stock at a price equal to the
market value. At the end of each fiscal year the total value of the investment
is computed by taking the number of shares owned, assuming Carnival Corporation
dividends are reinvested on an annual basis, times the market price of the
shares at the end of each fiscal year.

CARNIVAL PLC

The following graph compares the Price Performance of $100 invested in
Carnival plc American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each representing one ordinary
share of Carnival plc (prior to April 17, 2003 each ADS represented four
ordinary shares of Carnival plc), with the Price Performance of $100 invested in
each of the NYSE Market Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industry
Group REQ (leisure services and products). The Price Performance, as used in the
Performance Graph, is calculated by assuming $100 was invested in Carnival plc
ADSs at a price equal to the market value on October 23, 2000, the date on which
Carnival plc ordinary shares and ADSs were originally listed on the LSE and the
NYSE, respectively, upon the demerger of the cruise business of The Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Prior to October 23, 2000, there was no
public market for Carnival plc equity securities. The total value of the
investment at the end of each subsequent fiscal year is computed by taking the
number of ADSs owned, assuming Carnival plc dividends are reinvested on an
annual basis, times the market price of ADSs at the end of each fiscal year.

We have decided to change to the S&P 500 Index for the Carnival plc
Performance Graph from the NYSE Market Index used last year so that the
comparison used for the Carnival plc ADSs is consistent with the comparison used
for Carnival Corporation common stock. We use the S&P 500 Index for the Carnival
Corporation Performance Graph.

POLICY ON AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT
SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

In December 2003, the Audit Committees adopted Key Policies and
Procedures which address, among other matters, pre-approval of audit and
permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. The Key
Policies and Procedures require that all services to be provided by the
independent auditors must be approved by the Audit Committees. To facilitate
smaller projects that may arise between scheduled meetings of the Audit
Committees, the Committees have pre-approved the provision of certain defined
services by the independent auditors, subject to an annual threshold of
$100,000. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committees consider whether
such services are consistent with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission on auditor independence.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEES

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are two separate legal entities
and, therefore, each has a separate board of directors, each of which in turn
has its own Audit Committee. In accordance with their charter (a copy of which
is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement), each Audit Committee assists
the relevant board of directors in carrying out its oversight of:

o the integrity of the relevant financial statements;

o the company's compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements;

o the independent auditors' qualifications and independence; and

o the performance of the company's internal audit functions and
independent auditors.

Both Audit Committees are subject to the audit committee independence
requirements under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE and relevant
SEC rules, and the Audit Committee of Carnival plc is also subject to the
requirements of the UK Combined Code. The two Audit Committees have identical
members and each currently consists of four independent (as defined by the
listing standards of the NYSE currently in effect and the UK Combined Code),
non-employee directors.

Management has primary responsibility for Carnival Corporation & plc's
financial reporting process, including its system of internal control, and for
the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Carnival Corporation &
plc's independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit
of those financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of
those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Audit Committees are responsible for monitoring and overseeing the financial
reporting process and the preparation of consolidated financial statements and
for supervising the relationship between Carnival Corporation & plc and its
independent auditors, as well as reviewing the group's systems of internal
controls and compliance with the group Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The
Audit Committees have met and held discussions with management of Carnival
Corporation & plc and the independent auditors. In this context, management
represented to the Audit Committees that Carnival Corporation & plc's
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committees (i) reviewed and discussed Carnival Corporation &
plc's audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2003 with
Carnival Corporation & plc's management and with Carnival Corporation & plc's
independent auditors; (ii) discussed with Carnival Corporation & plc's
independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61; and (iii) received the written disclosures and the
letter from Carnival Corporation & plc's independent accountants required by
Independence Standards Board Statement No. 1 (Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees) and discussed with Carnival Corporation & plc's independent
auditors the independent auditor's independence. The Audit Committees also
considered whether the provision to the relevant entity by the independent
auditors of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence
of the independent auditors. Based on the reviews and discussions described
above, the Audit Committees recommended to the boards of directors that the
audited consolidated financial statements of Carnival Corporation & plc be
included in Carnival Corporation & plc's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended November 30, 2003 for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

TRANSACTIONS WITH MICKY ARISON. Mr. Arison, our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the
indirect sole shareholder of Florida Basketball Associates, Inc., the sole

various sponsorship, marketing and advertising services and the use of floor
level season tickets.

Carnival Corporation also provided aircraft management services to
MHLP. During fiscal 2003, Carnival Corporation received approximately $1.4
million from MHLP as compensation for providing such services and reimbursement
of costs. Carnival Corporation ceased providing such aircraft management
services to MHLP in 2003.

From time to time Carnival Corporation charters the aircraft owned by
MHLP under an arrangement whereby it pays estimated fair market charter rates.
During fiscal 2003, Carnival Corporation incurred $66,000 for charters of this
aircraft.

TRANSACTIONS WITH FUNAIR CORPORATION. Carnival Corporation provided
aircraft management services to Funair Corporation ("Funair"), a company
beneficially owned by a trust established for the benefit of Shari Arison, a
former member of Carnival Corporation's board of directors and Micky Arison's
sister. During fiscal 2003, Carnival Corporation received approximately $2.2
million from Funair as compensation for providing such services and
reimbursement of costs. Carnival Corporation ceased providing such aircraft
management services to Funair in 2003.

TRANSACTIONS WITH THE TED ARISON FAMILY FOUNDATION USA, INC. Shari
Arison is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and President of the Ted Arison
Family Foundation USA, Inc. (the "Foundation"), a charitable foundation
established by Carnival Corporation's founder, Ted Arison. Carnival Corporation
leases approximately 100 square feet of office space to the Foundation and
employs one of its employees. During fiscal 2003, Carnival Corporation received
approximately $104,000 from the Foundation for both lease payments and for all
costs incurred by Carnival Corporation related to this employee. It is expected
that Carnival Corporation will continue these arrangements with the Foundation
in the future.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Pursuant to a letter agreement (the "Trust
Registration Rights Agreement") dated July 11, 1989, Carnival Corporation
granted to the Ted Arison Irrevocable Trust (the "Irrevocable Trust") and the
Arison Children's Irrevocable Trust (the "Children's Trust," and together with
the Irrevocable Trust, the "Trusts") certain registration rights with respect to
the 28,554,056 shares of Carnival Corporation common stock held for investment
by the Trusts (the "Shares"). The beneficiaries of the Trusts included the
children of Ted Arison, including Micky Arison, our Chairman of the boards and
Chief Executive Officer, and Shari Arison, a former director. Effective December
26, 1991, the Children's Trust was divided into three separate continued trusts,
including continued trusts for Micky Arison and Shari Arison.

Under the Trust Registration Rights Agreement, Carnival Corporation has
granted the Trusts demand and piggyback registration rights. Carnival
Corporation is not required to effect any demand registration unless all of the
Shares owned by either of the Trusts are included in the demand. Carnival
Corporation has agreed to bear all expenses relating to such demand and
piggyback registrations, except for fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Trusts, underwriting discounts and applicable filing fees.

Under a registration rights agreement (the "Arison Registration Rights
Agreement"), Carnival Corporation granted certain registration rights to Ted
Arison with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by him (the
"Arison Shares") in consideration for $10,000. The registration rights were held
by the Estate of Ted Arison. The Estate of Ted Arison subsequently transferred
the Arison Shares to The 1997 Irrevocable Trust of Micky Arison, the Ted Arison
1992 Irrevocable Trust for Lin No. 2, the Ted Arison 1994 Irrevocable Trust for
Shari No. 1 and the Michael Arison 1999 Irrevocable Delaware Trust

(collectively, the "Family Trusts"). The Arison Registration Rights Agreement
provides for demand and piggyback registration rights. Carnival Corporation has
agreed to bear all expenses relating to such demand and piggyback registrations,
except for fees and disbursements of counsel for the Family Trusts, selling
costs, underwriting discounts and applicable filing fees.

TRANSACTIONS WITH CRUISE SPECIALISTS. Janet Olczak Lanterman, the wife
of A. Kirk Lanterman, one of our executive officers and a director, is the owner
of a travel agency located in Seattle, Washington, named Cruise Specialists.
Under the laws of the State of Washington, Ms. Lanterman's ownership interest in
Cruise Specialists is her separate property and, accordingly, Mr. Lanterman does
not have any ownership interest in the agency. Cruise Specialists sells cruises
and other similar products for various travel providers, including us, under
arrangements that are common throughout the travel industry, whereby Cruise
Specialists receives a commission based on sales generated. In fiscal 2003,
Cruise Specialists generated approximately $14.9 million of gross revenues
(before commission) for Carnival Corporation & plc. In connection with such
revenues, Cruise Specialists received commissions of approximately $2.6 million
from Carnival Corporation & plc. Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc believe
that the commissions paid to Cruise Specialists are comparable to those paid to
other travel agents for comparable services.

LOAN TO PAMELA C. CONOVER. On July 22, 2002, Carnival Corporation
entered into a loan agreement with Pamela C. Conover, President and Chief
Operating Officer of Cunard Line Limited. The loan was set up as a line of
credit for $250,000. Interest accrued on the loan at the rate of 2.82% per
annum. Principal and accrued interest due under the loan were payable upon
demand. Ms. Conover repaid the loan in full on June 30, 2003.

LOAN TO STEIN KRUSE. In February 2002, HAL made a $250,000 advance to
Stein Kruse against amounts he was expected to received under the Holland
America Line Key Management Incentive Plan during the following five years. In
March 2002, when the unpaid balance under the advance was $150,000, HAL agreed
that no further deductions would be made from Mr. Kruse's Key Management
Incentive Plan awards in respect of this advance. However, if his service with
HAL is terminated for any reason prior to November 30, 2004, this $150,000 will
be payable in full. If Mr. Kruse remains employed by HAL through November 30,
2004, this $150,000 will be forgiven.

TRANSACTIONS WITH TRUSTEES. James M. Dubin is the sole shareholder of
JMD Delaware, Inc., JMD Protector, Inc. and Balluta Limited, which act either as
trustee or protector of certain Arison family trusts. By virtue of being the
sole shareholder of JMD Delaware, Inc., JMD Protector Inc., and Balluta Limited,
Mr. Dubin may be deemed to own the aggregate of 141,372,330 shares of Carnival
Corporation common stock beneficially owned by such entities, as to which he
disclaims beneficial ownership. Mr. Dubin resigned as one of Carnival
Corporation's directors on April 17, 2003. He is a partner in the New York law
firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, which firm serves as
counsel to Carnival Corporation & plc, Micky Arison and Shari Arison.

TRANSACTIONS WITH HORST RAHE. On March 12, 2003, Carnival plc, POPCIL
and Deutsche Seereederei GmbH ("DS"), a company wholly owned by Mr. Horst Rahe,
a former director of Carnival plc, and his family each signed a letter
confirming certain rights and obligations of the parties to the Aida Sale and
Purchase Agreement (the "Aida Sale and Purchase Agreement"), dated September 25,
2000, between Carnival plc, POPCIL and DS. Under the letter DS irrevocably
exercised its right to give Carnival plc an accelerated notice with respect to
an option payment under the Aida Sale and Purchase Agreement conditional on
completion of the DLC transaction. Accordingly, following completion of the DLC
transaction, Carnival plc paid DS (euro)58,798,566 in respect of the option
payment in accordance with the terms of the Aida Sale and Purchase Agreement.
Following such payment, the Aida Sale and Purchase Agreement terminated.

On December 5, 2003, POPCIL sold the A'ROSA river cruise business to
Arkona AG, a German-based leisure travel supplier that is controlled by Horst
Rahe. The price of the transaction, which included A'ROSA's three 200-passenger
riverboats and the A'ROSA trademark, was approximately (euro)63.5 million,
including (euro)800,000 payable for the goodwill of the business. The sale is
part of POPCIL's strategy to

consolidate its German cruise operations. As part of the transaction, POPCIL
agreed, through its Seetours operating unit, to provide certain technical
support and sales and marketing services to Arkona AG for the AROSA business
until the end of 2004.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS. Certain transactions involving Sherwood M. Weiser
are described in "COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION."

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ENTITIES. Carnival Corporation & plc has
adopted a policy of dealing with affiliated entities on an arm's-length basis
and Carnival Corporation & plc may not engage in business transactions with any
affiliate on terms and conditions less favorable to Carnival Corporation & plc
than terms and conditions available at the time for comparable transactions with
unaffiliated persons.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

As previously disclosed, on April 17, 2003, KPMG Audit Plc ("KPMG")
resigned as the independent auditors for Carnival plc. The report of KPMG on
Carnival plc's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002 and
the subsequent interim period through April 17, 2003, there were no
disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused it
to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such
periods.

On April 17, 2003, based on a decision to have one audit firm to audit
the consolidated financial statements of Carnival Corporation & plc, Carnival
plc engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as its independent auditors for
the financial period ended November 30, 2003 and this appointment was approved
by Carnival plc shareholders at their annual general meeting on June 23, 2003.
The decision to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was approved by the audit
committee of the board of directors of Carnival plc.

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the subsequent
interim period through April 17, 2003, Carnival plc did not consult
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with respect to the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on Carnival plc's financial statements,
or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
