NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc and their respective subsidiaries. Together with their consolidated subsidiaries, they are referred to collectively in these consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this joint Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “Carnival Corporation & plc,” “our,” “us” and “we.”

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet at February 28, 2019 are unaudited and, in the opinion of our management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Carnival Corporation & plc 2018 joint Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2019. Our operations are seasonal and results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method to all contracts as of the adoption date. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC 605.

The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements primarily relates to the gross presentation of prepaid travel agent commissions (Consolidated Balance Sheet), shore excursions and other onboard revenues and costs (Consolidated Statement of Income) which were historically presented net. As of December 1, 2018, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $24 million to retained earnings related to the accounting for our loyalty programs.

The following table summarizes the impacts of ASC 606 adoption on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended February 28, 2019:

The FASB issued amended guidance, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business,which assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are aimed at reducing the existing diversity in practice. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the retrospective method for each period presented. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the retrospective method for each period presented. As a result, we now present restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The reclassified restricted cash balances from investing activities to changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was not material for the period presented.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Service Concession Arrangements, which clarifies that the grantor in a service arrangement should be considered the customer of the operating entity in all cases. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Derivatives and Hedging, which targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities such as hedging strategies, effectiveness assessments, and recognition of derivative gains or losses. On December 1, 2018, we early adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. At the time of adoption, we changed the method by which we assess effectiveness for outstanding net investment hedges from the forward method to the spot method. Under the spot method, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to hedge effectiveness remains in AOCI until the net investment is sold or liquidated, while the impact attributable to components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, on a systematic and rational basis. Previous gains or losses incurred under the forward method related to net investment hedges will remain in AOCI within the foreign currency translation adjustments component and will be reclassified to earnings when the net investment is sold or liquidated. As required by this guidance, we have also added certain disclosures about hedging activities and their effect on our consolidated financial statements.

9

The FASB issued guidance, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2020 and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach which allows entities to either apply the new lease standard to the beginning of the earliest period presented or only to the current period consolidated financial statements. The initial adoption of this guidance is expected to increase both our total assets and total liabilities, reflecting the lease rights and obligations arising from our lease arrangements, and will require additional disclosures. We are evaluating certain contractual arrangements to determine if they contain an implicit right to use an asset that would qualify as a leasing arrangement under the new guidance.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The expense related to deferred implementation costs is required to be presented in the same income statement line item as the related hosting fees. Additionally, the payments for deferred implementation costs are required to be presented in the same line item in the statement of cash flows as payments for the related hosting fees. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2021 and must be applied using either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – Revenue and Expense Recognition

Guest cruise deposits represent unearned revenues, and are initially included in customer deposit liabilities when received. Customer deposits are subsequently recognized as cruise revenues, together with revenues from onboard and other activities, and all associated direct costs and expenses of a voyage are recognized as cruise costs and expenses, upon completion of voyages, with durations of ten nights or less and on a pro rata basis for voyages in excess of ten nights. The impact of recognizing these shorter duration cruise revenues and costs and expenses on a completed voyage basis versus on a pro rata basis is not significant. Certain of our product offerings are bundled and we allocate the value of the bundled services and goods between passenger ticket revenues, onboard and other revenues and tour and other revenues based upon the estimated standalone selling prices of those goods and services.

Future travel discount vouchers are included as a reduction of cruise passenger ticket revenues when such vouchers are utilized. Guest cancellation fees are recognized in cruise passenger ticket revenues at the time of cancellation.

Our sale to guests of air and other transportation to and from airports near the home ports of our ships are included in cruise passenger ticket revenues, and the related cost of purchasing these services are included in cruise transportation costs. The proceeds that we collect from the sales of third-party shore excursions are included in onboard and other revenues and the related costs are included in onboard and other costs. The amounts collected on behalf of our onboard concessionaires, net of the amounts remitted to them, are included in onboard and other cruise revenues as concession revenues. All of these amounts are recognized on a completed voyage or pro rata basis as discussed above.

Cruise passenger ticket revenues include fees, taxes and charges collected by us from our guests. A portion of these fees, taxes and charges vary with guest head counts and are directly imposed on a revenue-producing arrangement. This portion of the fees, taxes and charges is expensed in commissions, transportation and other costs when the corresponding revenues are recognized. For the three months ended February 28, the fees, taxes and charges included in passenger ticket revenues and commissions, transportation and other costs were $163 million in 2019 and $148 million in 2018. The remaining portion of fees, taxes and charges are also included in cruise passenger ticket revenues and are expensed in other ship operating expenses when the corresponding revenues are recognized.

Revenues and expenses from our hotel and transportation operations, which are included in our Tour and Other segment, are recognized at the time the services are performed or expenses are incurred. Revenues from the long-term leasing of ships, which are also included in our Tour and Other segment, are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Customer Deposits

Our payment terms generally require an initial deposit to confirm a reservation, and the balance is received prior to the voyage. Cash received from guests in advance of the cruise is recorded in customer deposits and in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts include refundable deposits. We had customer deposits of $4.9 billion and $4.7 billion as of February 28, 2019 and December 1, 2018. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we recognized

10

revenues of $3.0 billion related to our customer deposits as of December 1, 2018. Our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, the recognition of revenue and foreign currency translation.

Contract Receivables

Although we generally require full payment from our customers prior to or concurrently with their cruise, we grant credit terms to a relatively small portion of our revenue source. We also have receivables from credit card merchants for cruise ticket purchases and onboard revenue. These receivables are included within trade and other receivables, net.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are amounts paid prior to the start of a voyage, which we record as an asset within prepaid expenses and otherand are subsequently recognized as commissions, transportation, and other at the time of revenue recognition. We have contract assets of $142 million and $151 million as of February 28, 2019 and December 1, 2018.

NOTE 3 – Unsecured Debt

At February 28, 2019, our short-term borrowings consisted of euro-denominated commercial paper of $768 million. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, there were no borrowings or repayments of commercial paper with original maturities greater than three months. For the three months ended February 28, 2018, we had borrowings of $2 million and repayments of $0 million of commercial paper with original maturities greater than three months.

In December 2018, we borrowed $852 million under an export credit facility due in semi-annual installments through 2031.

In February 2019, we borrowed $587 million under a euro-denominated export credit facility due in semi-annual installments through 2031. We also entered into an $899 million export credit facility, which may be drawn in euro or U.S. dollars in 2023 and will be due in semi-annual installments through 2035. The interest rate on this export credit facility can be fixed or floating, at our discretion.

NOTE 4 – Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of our business, various claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. Most of these claims and lawsuits, or any settlement of claims and lawsuits, are covered by insurance and the maximum amount of our liability, net of any insurance recoverables, is typically limited to our self-insurance retention levels. We believe the ultimate outcome of these claims, lawsuits, and settlements, as applicable, each and in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Contingent Obligations – Indemnifications

Some of the debt contracts we enter into include indemnification provisions obligating us to make payments to the counterparty if certain events occur. These contingencies generally relate to changes in taxes or changes in laws which increase our lender’s costs. There are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses, and we are not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification clauses.

NOTE 5 – Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories:

• Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

11

• Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, certain estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

(a) Long-term other assets are comprised of notes receivable. The fair values of our Level 2 notes receivable were based on estimated future cash flows discounted at appropriate market interest rates. The fair values of our Level 3 notes receivable were estimated using risk-adjusted discount rates.

(b) The debt amounts above do not include the impact of interest rate swaps or debt issuance costs. The fair values of our publicly-traded notes were based on their unadjusted quoted market prices in markets that are not sufficiently active to be Level 1 and, accordingly, are considered Level 2. The fair values of our other debt were estimated based on current market interest rates being applied to this debt.

(a) At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, we had cross currency swaps totaling $1.0 billion and $156 million, respectively, that are designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations with a euro-denominated functional currency. At February 28, 2019, these cross currency swaps settle through December 2030.

(b) We have interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges whereby we receive floating interest rate payments in exchange for making fixed interest rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $373 million at February 28, 2019 and $385 million at November 30, 2018 of EURIBOR-based floating rate euro debt to fixed rate euro debt. At February 28, 2019, these interest rate swaps settle through March 2025.

Financial Risks

Fuel Price Risks

We manage our exposure to fuel price risk by managing our consumption of fuel. Substantially all of our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates to the consumption of fuel on our ships. We manage fuel consumption through ship maintenance practices, modifying our itineraries and implementing innovative technologies. We are also adding new, more fuel efficient ships to our fleet and are strategically disposing of smaller, less fuel efficient ships.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

Overall Strategy

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through our normal operating and financing activities, including netting certain exposures to take advantage of any natural offsets and, when considered appropriate, through the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. Our primary focus is to monitor our exposure to, and manage, the economic foreign currency exchange risks faced by our operations and realized if we exchange one currency for another. We currently only hedge certain of our ship commitments and net investments in foreign operations. The financial impacts of the hedging instruments we do employ generally offset the changes in the underlying exposures being hedged.

14

Operational Currency Risks

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, euro or sterling as their functional currencies. Our operations also have revenue and expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our financial statements.

Investment Currency Risks

We consider our investments in foreign operations to be denominated in stable currencies. Our investments in foreign operations are of a long-term nature. At February 28, 2019, we had $7.3 billionand $876 millionof euro- and sterling-denominated debt, respectively, including the effect of cross currency swaps, which provide an economic offset for our operations with euro and sterling functional currency. We also partially mitigate our net investment currency exposures by denominating a portion of our foreign currency intercompany payables in our foreign operations’ functional currencies. 

Newbuild Currency Risks

Our shipbuilding contracts are typically denominated in euros. Our decision to hedge a non-functional currency ship commitment for our cruise brands is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the amount and duration of the exposure, market volatility, economic trends, our overall expected net cash flows by currency and other offsetting risks. We use foreign currency derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk for some of our ship construction payments. At February 28, 2019, for the following newbuild, we had foreign currency zero cost collars for a portion of our euro-denominated shipyard payments. These collars are designated as cash flow hedges.

	Entered Into	Matures in	Weighted-Average Floor Rate		Weighted- Average Ceiling Rate
Carnival Panorama	2019	October 2019	$	1.05	$	1.28

If the spot rate is between the ceiling and floor rates on the date of maturity, then we would not owe or receive any payments under these collars.

At February 28, 2019, our remaining newbuild currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to euro-denominated newbuild contract payments to non-euro functional currency brands, which represent a total unhedged commitment of $9.3 billion for newbuilds scheduled to be delivered from 2019 through 2025.

The cost of shipbuilding orders that we may place in the future that is denominated in a different currency than our cruise brands’ will be affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may affect our decision to order new cruise ships.

Interest Rate Risks

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through our debt portfolio management and investment strategies. We evaluate our debt portfolio to determine whether to make periodic adjustments to the mix of fixed and floating rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps, issuance of new debt, amendment of existing debt or early retirement of existing debt.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor concentrations of credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we conduct significant business. We seek to minimize these credit risk exposures, including counterparty nonperformance primarily associated with our cash equivalents, investments, committed financing facilities, contingent obligations, derivative instruments, insurance contracts and new ship progress payment guarantees, by:

• Conducting business with large, well-established financial institutions, insurance companies and export credit agencies

• Diversifying our counterparties 

• Having guidelines regarding credit ratings and investment maturities that we follow to help safeguard liquidity and minimize risk

• Generally requiring collateral and/or guarantees to support notes receivable on significant asset sales, long-term ship charters and new ship progress payments to shipyards 

15

We believe the risk of nonperformance by any of our significant counterparties is remote. At February 28, 2019, our exposures under foreign currency contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swap agreements were not material. We also monitor the creditworthiness of travel agencies and tour operators in Asia, Australia and Europe, which includes charter-hire agreements in Asia and credit and debit card providers to which we extend credit in the normal course of our business. Our credit exposure also includes contingent obligations related to cash payments received directly by travel agents and tour operators for cash collected by them on cruise sales in Australia and most of Europe where we are obligated to honor our guests’ cruise payments made by them to their travel agents and tour operators regardless of whether we have received these payments. Concentrations of credit risk associated with these trade receivables, charter-hire agreements and contingent obligations are not considered to be material, principally due to the large number of unrelated accounts, the nature of these contingent obligations and their short maturities. We have not experienced significant credit losses on our trade receivables, charter-hire agreements and contingent obligations. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales.

NOTE 6 – Segment Information

Our operating segments are reported on the same basis as the internally reported information that is provided to our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc. The CODM assesses performance and makes decisions to allocate resources for Carnival Corporation & plc based upon review of the results across all of our segments. Ourfour reportable segments are comprised of (1) NAA cruise operations, (2) EA cruise operations, (3) Cruise Support and (4) Tour and Other.

The operating segments within each of our NAA and EA reportable segments have been aggregated based on the similarity of their economic and other characteristics, including geographic guest sourcing. Our Cruise Support segment includes our portfolio of leading port destinations and other services, all of which are operated for the benefit of our cruise brands. Our Tour and Other segment represents the hotel and transportation operations of Holland America Princess Alaska Tours and other operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that is included in the Form 10-K.

Seasonality

Our revenues from the sale of passenger tickets are seasonal. Historically, demand for cruises has been greatest during our third quarter, which includes the Northern Hemisphere summer months. This higher demand during the third quarter results in higher ticket prices and occupancy levels and, accordingly, the largest share of our operating income is earned during this period. The seasonality of our results also increases due to ships being taken out-of-service for maintenance, which we schedule during non-peak demand periods. In addition, substantially all of Holland America Princess Alaska Tours’ revenue and net income is generated from May through September in conjunction with the Alaska cruise season.

(a) ALBD is a standard measure of passenger capacity for the period that we use to approximate rate and capacity variances, based on consistently applied formulas that we use to perform analyses to determine the main non-capacity driven factors that cause our cruise revenues and expenses to vary. ALBDs assume that each cabin we offer for sale accommodates two passengers and is computed by multiplying passenger capacity by revenue-producing ship operating days in the period.

(b) For the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to the three months ended February 28,2018, we had a 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs comprised of a 5.0% capacity increase in our NAA segment and a 2.5% capacity increase in our EA segment.

19

Our NAA segment’s capacity increase was caused by:

• Full quarter impact from one Carnival Cruise Line 3,960-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in April 2018

• Full quarter impact from one Seabourn 600-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in May 2018

• Partial period impact from one Holland America Line 2,670-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in December 2018

Our EA segment’s capacity increase was caused by:

• Partial period impact from one AIDA 5,230-passenger capacity ship that entered into service in December 2018

The increase in our EA segment’s capacity was partially offset by:

• Full quarter impact from one P&O Cruises (UK) 700-passenger capacity ship removed from service in March 2018

• Full quarter impact from one Costa Cruises 1,300-passenger capacity ship removed from service in April 2018

(c) In accordance with cruise industry practice, occupancy is calculated using a denominator of ALBDs, which assumes two passengers per cabin even though some cabins can accommodate three or more passengers. Percentages in excess of 100% indicate that on average more than two passengers occupied some cabins.

Three Months Ended February 28, 2019 (“2019”) Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2018 (“2018”)

Revenues

Consolidated

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 68% of our 2019 total revenues. Cruise passenger ticket revenues increased by $51 million, or 1.6%, to $3.2 billion in 2019 from $3.1 billion in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $129 million - 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $34 million - increase in air transportation revenues

These increases were partially offset by:

• $90 million - net unfavorable foreign currency translational impact

• $18 million - decrease in cruise ticket revenues caused by net unfavorable foreign currency transactional impact

The remaining 32% of 2019 total revenues were substantially all comprised of onboard and other cruise revenues, which increased by $375 million, or 35%, to $1.4 billion in 2019 from $1.1 billion in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $323 million - related to the gross presentation of shore excursions and other onboard revenues as a result of the adoption of new revenue accounting guidance

• $44 million - 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $33 million - higher onboard spending by our guests

These increases were partially offset by net unfavorable foreign currency translational impact of $26 million.

Concession revenues, which are included in onboard and other revenues, increased by $8 million, or 3.1%, to $255 million in 2019 from $247 million in 2018.

NAA Segment

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 65% of our NAA segment’s 2019 total revenues. Cruise passenger ticket revenues increased by $97 million, or 5.1%, to $2.0 billion in 2019 compared to $1.9 billion in 2018. 

This increase was caused by:

• $97 million - 5.0% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $19 million - increase in air transportation revenues

20

The remaining 35% of our NAA segment’s 2019 total revenues were comprised of onboard and other cruise revenues, which increased by $296 million, or 39%, to $1.1 billion in 2019 from $0.8 billion in 2018.

This increase was driven by:

• $253 million - related to the gross presentation of shore excursions and other onboard revenues as a result of the adoption of new revenue accounting guidance

• $39 million - 5.0% capacity increase in ALBDs

Concession revenues, which are included in onboard and other revenues, increased by $10 million, or 6.0%, to $182 million in 2019 from $171 million in 2018.

EA Segment

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 78% of our EA segment’s 2019 total revenues. Cruise passenger ticket revenues decreased by $41 million, or 3.3%, to $1.2 billion in 2019 compared to $1.2 billion in 2018.

This decrease was caused by:

• $82 million - net unfavorable foreign currency translational impact

This decrease was partially offset by:

• $31 million - 2.5% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $18 million - increase in air transportation revenues

The remaining 22% of our EA segment’s 2019 total revenues were comprised of onboard and other cruise revenues, which increased by $64 million, or 24%, to $329 million in 2019 from $265 million in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $63 million - related to the gross presentation of shore excursions and other onboard revenues as a result of the adoption of new revenue accounting guidance

• $17 million - higher onboard spending by our guests

These increases were partially offset by net unfavorable foreign currency translational impact of $22 million.

Concession revenues, which are included in onboard and other revenues, decreased by $3 million, or 3.4%, to $73 million in 2019 from $76 million in 2018.

Costs and Expenses

Consolidated

Operating costs and expenses increased by $432 million, or 16%, to $3.1 billion in 2019 from $2.7 billion in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $323 million - related to the gross presentation of shore excursions and other onboard revenues as a result of the adoption of new revenue accounting guidance

• $110 million - 4.1% capacity increase in ALBD

• $43 million - higher commissions, transportation and other expenses

• $18 million - higher fuel prices

These increases were partially offset by net favorable foreign currency translational impact of $72 million.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $13 million, or 2.1%, to $629 million in 2019 from $616 million in 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $28 million, or 5.7%, to $516 million in 2019 from $488 million in 2018.

21

NAA Segment

Operating costs and expenses increased by $352 million, or 21%, to $2.0 billion in 2019 from $1.7 billion in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $253 million - related to the gross presentation of shore excursions and other onboard revenues as a result of the adoption of new revenue accounting guidance

• $84 million - 5.0% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $29 million - higher commissions, transportation and other expenses

• $18 million - increase in various other costs

• $12 million - higher fuel prices

These increases were partially offset by lower cruise payroll and related expense of $22 million.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $14 million, or 3.8%, to $353 million in 2019 from $367 million in 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $28 million, or 9.5%, to $328 million in 2019 from $299 million in 2018.

EA Segment

Operating costs and expenses increased by $71 million, or 7.0%, to $1.1 billion in 2019 from $1.0 billion in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $63 million - related to the gross presentation of shore excursions and other onboard revenues as a result of the adoption of new revenue accounting guidance

• $25 million - 2.5% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $19 million - higher commissions, transportation and other expenses

These decreases were partially offset by net favorable foreign currency translational impact of $65 million.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $18 million, or 9.5%, to $205 million in 2019 from $188 million in 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $5 million, or 3.2%, to $152 million in 2019 from $157 million in 2018.

Operating Income

Our consolidated operating income decreased by $32 million, or 7.7%, to $386 million in 2019 from $419 million in 2018. Our NAA segment’s operating income increased by $27 million, or 7.5%, to $386 million in 2019 from $360 million in 2018, and our EA segment’s operating income decreased by $61 million, or 39%, to $93 million in 2019 from $154 million in 2018. These changes were primarily due to the reasons discussed above.

Explanations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use net cruise revenues per ALBD (“net revenue yields”), net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measures of our cruise segments’ and the company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided along with U.S. GAAP gross cruise revenues per ALBD (“gross revenue yields”), gross cruise costs per ALBD and U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per share. 

Net revenue yields and net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD enable us to separate the impact of predictable capacity or ALBD changes from price and other changes that affect our business. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and expanded insight to measure our revenue and cost performance as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements.

Under U.S. GAAP, the realized and unrealized gains and losses on fuel derivatives not qualifying as fuel hedges are recognized currently in earnings. We believe that unrealized gains and losses on fuel derivatives are not an indication of our earnings performance since they relate to future periods and may not ultimately be realized in our future earnings. Therefore, we believe it is more meaningful for the unrealized gains and losses on fuel derivatives to be excluded from our net income and earnings per share and, accordingly, we present adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share excluding these unrealized gains and losses.

We believe that gains and losses on ship sales, impairment charges, restructuring and other expenses are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance. Therefore, we believe it is more meaningful for gains and losses on ship sales, impairment charges, and restructuring and other non-core gains and charges to be excluded from our net income and earnings per share and, accordingly, we present adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share excluding these items.

The presentation of our non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or superior to the financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It is possible that our non-GAAP financial measures may not be exactly comparable to the like-kind information presented by other companies, which is a potential risk associated with using these measures to compare us to other companies.

Net revenue yields are commonly used in the cruise industry to measure a company’s cruise segment revenue performance and for revenue management purposes. We use “net cruise revenues” rather than “gross cruise revenues” to calculate net revenue yields. We believe that net cruise revenues is a more meaningful measure in determining revenue yield than gross cruise revenues because it reflects the cruise revenues earned net of our most significant variable costs, which are travel agent commissions, cost of air and other transportation, certain other costs that are directly associated with onboard and other revenues and credit and debit card fees. 

Net passenger ticket revenues reflect gross passenger ticket revenues, net of commissions, transportation and other costs.

Net onboard and other revenues reflect gross onboard and other revenues, net of onboard and other cruise costs.

Net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD is the measure we use to monitor our ability to control our cruise segments’ costs rather than gross cruise costs per ALBD. We exclude the same variable costs that are included in the calculation of net cruise revenues as well as fuel expense to calculate net cruise costs without fuel to avoid duplicating these variable costs in our non-GAAP financial measures. Substantially all of our net cruise costs excluding fuel are largely fixed, except for the impact of changing prices, once the number of ALBDs has been determined.

Reconciliation of Forecasted Data

We have not provided a reconciliation of forecasted gross cruise revenues to forecasted net cruise revenues or forecasted gross cruise costs to forecasted net cruise costs without fuel or forecasted U.S. GAAP net income to forecasted adjusted net income or forecasted U.S. GAAP earnings per share to forecasted adjusted earnings per share because preparation of meaningful U.S. GAAP forecasts of gross cruise revenues, gross cruise costs, net income and earnings per share would require unreasonable effort. We are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, the future movement of foreign exchange rates and fuel prices. We are unable to determine the future impact of gains or losses on ships sales, restructuring expenses and other non-core gains and charges.

23

Constant Dollar and Constant Currency

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, euro and sterling as functional currencies to measure results and financial condition. Functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar subject us to foreign currency translational risk. Our operations also have revenues and expenses that are in currencies other than their functional currency, which subject us to foreign currency transactional risk.

We report net revenue yields, net passenger revenue yields, net onboard and other revenue yields and net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD on a “constant dollar” and “constant currency” basis assuming the 2019 periods’ currency exchange rates have remained constant with the 2018 periods’ rates. These metrics facilitate a comparative view for the changes in our business in an environment with fluctuating exchange rates.

Constant dollarreporting removes only the impact of changes in exchange rates on the translation of our operations.

Constant currencyreporting removes the impact of changes in exchange rates on the translation of our operations (as in constant dollar) plus the transactional impact of changes in exchange rates from revenues and expenses that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

Examples:

• The translation of our operations with functional currencies other than U.S. dollar to our U.S. dollar reporting currency results in decreases in reported U.S. dollar revenues and expenses if the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies and increases in reported U.S. dollar revenues and expenses if the U.S. dollar weakens against these foreign currencies.

• Our operations have revenue and expense transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. If their functional currency strengthens against these other currencies, it reduces the functional currency revenues and expenses. If the functional currency weakens against these other currencies, it increases the functional currency revenues and expenses.

Net cruise revenues increased by $52 million, or 1.5%, to $3.5 billion in 2019 from $3.4 billion in 2018.

The increase was caused by:

• $140 million - 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $19 million - 0.5% increase in constant currency net revenue yields

These increases were partially offset by net unfavorable foreign currency impacts (including both the foreign currency translational and transactional impacts) of $107 million.

The 0.5% increase in net revenue yields on a constant currency basis was due to a 3.1% increase in net onboard and other revenue yields and offset by 0.4% decrease in net passenger ticket revenue yields.

This 0.4% decrease in net passenger ticket revenue yields was comprised of a 0.1% decrease from our NAA segment and a 0.7% decrease from our EA segment.

The 3.1% increase in net onboard and other revenue yields was caused by similar increases in our NAA and EA segments.

Net cruise costs excluding fuel increased by $50 million, or 2.4%, to $2.2 billion in 2019 from $2.1 billion in 2018.

The increase was caused by:

• $87 million - 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs

• $20 million - 0.9% increase in constant currency net cruise costs excluding fuel

These increases were partially offset by net favorable foreign currency impacts (including both the foreign currency translational and transactional impacts) of $56 million.

Fuel costs increased by $22 million, or 6.1%, to $381 million in 2019 from $359 million in 2018.

This increase was caused by:

• $18 million - higher fuel prices

• $15 million - 4.1% capacity increase in ALBDs

These increases were partially offset by lower fuel consumption per ALBD of $11 million.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

Our primary financial goals are to profitably grow our cruise business and sustain and grow our double-digit return on invested capital (“ROIC”), while maintaining a strong balance sheet and strong investment grade credit ratings. (We define ROIC as the

27

twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest divided by the monthly average of debt plus equity minus construction-in-progress.) Our ability to generate significant operating cash flow allows us to internally fund our capital improvements, debt maturities and dividend payments. We have $11.0 billion of committed export credit facilities available to fund the vast majority of our new ship growth capital. Other objectives of our capital structure policy are to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity through our available cash and cash equivalents and committed financings for immediate and future liquidity needs and to maintain a reasonable debt maturity profile.

Based on our historical results, projections and financial condition, we believe that our future operating cash flows and liquidity will be sufficient to fund all of our expected capital improvements, new ship growth capital, debt maturities and dividend payments. We believe that our ability to generate significant operating cash flows and our strong balance sheet, as evidenced by our strong investment grade credit ratings, provide us with the ability, in most financial credit market environments, to obtain debt financing.

We had a working capital deficit of $7.5 billion as of February 28, 2019 compared to a working capital deficit of $7.0 billion as of November 30, 2018. The increase in working capital deficit was caused by a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents and an increase in customer deposits. We operate with a substantial working capital deficit. This deficit is mainly attributable to the fact that, under our business model, substantially all of our passenger ticket receipts are collected in advance of the applicable sailing date. These advance passenger receipts remain a current liability until the sailing date. The cash generated from these advance receipts is used interchangeably with cash on hand from other sources, such as our borrowings and other cash from operations. The cash received as advanced receipts can be used to fund operating expenses, pay down our debt, make long term investments or any other use of cash. Included within our working capital deficit are $4.8 billion and $4.4 billion of customer deposits as of February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. In addition, we have a relatively low-level of accounts receivable and limited investment in inventories. We generate substantial cash flows from operations and our business model has historically allowed us to maintain this working capital deficit and still meet our operating, investing and financing needs. We expect that we will continue to have working capital deficits in the future.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities

Our business provided $1.1 billion of net cash from operations during the three months ended February 28, 2019, an increase of $51 million, or 4.8%, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2018. 

Investing Activities

During the three months ended February 28, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $2.1 billion. This was caused by the following:

• Capital expenditures of $1.7 billion for our ongoing new shipbuilding program

• Capital expenditures of $428 million for ship improvements and replacements, information technology and buildings and improvements

During the three months ended February 28, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $588 million. This was caused by the following:

• Capital expenditures of $97 million for our ongoing new shipbuilding program

• Capital expenditures of $477 million for ship improvements and replacements, information technology and buildings and improvements

• Payments of $21 million for fuel derivative settlements

Financing Activities

During the three months ended February 28, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities of $612 million was caused by the following:

• Net repayments of short-term borrowings of $81 million in connection with our availability of, and needs for, cash at various times throughout the period

• Repayments of $95 million of long-term debt

• Issuances of $1.4 billion of long-term debt

• Payments of cash dividends of $348 million

• Purchases of $274 million of Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ordinary shares in open market transactions under our Repurchase Program

28

During the three months ended February 28, 2018, net cash used in financing activities of $428 million was substantially due to the following:

• Net proceeds of short-term borrowings of $611 million in connection with our availability of, and needs for, cash at various times throughout the period

• Repayments of $963 million of long-term debt

• Issuances of $469 million of long-term debt under a term loan

• Payments of cash dividends of $323 million

• Purchases of $218 million of Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ordinary shares in open market transactions under our Repurchase Program

Capital Expenditure and Capacity Forecast

Our annual capital expenditure forecast consists of contracted new ship growth capital, estimated payments for planned new ship growth capital and capital improvements.

(in billions)	2019		2020		2021		2022
Annual capital expenditure forecast	$	6.7	$	5.7	$	5.9	$	5.3

Funding Sources

At February 28, 2019, we had liquidity of $13.5 billion. Our liquidity consisted of $324 million of cash and cash equivalents, which excludes $325 million of cash used for current operations, $2.2 billion available for borrowing under our revolving credit facilities, net of our outstanding commercial paper borrowings, and $11.0 billion under our committed future financings, which are comprised of ship export credit facilities. These commitments are from numerous large and well-established banks and export credit agencies, which we believe will honor their contractual agreements with us.

Availability of committed future financing at February 28, 2019	$	2.0	$	2.9	$	2.8	$	2.4	$	0.9

At February 28, 2019, all of our revolving credit facilities are scheduled to mature in 2021, except for $394 million that matures in 2020.

Substantially all of our debt agreements contain financial covenants as described in Note 5 - “Unsecured Debt” in the annual consolidated financial statements, which are included within our Form 10-K. At February 28, 2019, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. In addition, based on, among other things, our forecasted operating results, financial condition and cash flows, we expect to be in compliance with our debt covenants for the foreseeable future. Generally, if an event of default under any debt agreement occurs, then pursuant to cross default acceleration clauses, substantially all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables could become due, and all debt and derivative contracts could be terminated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, including guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For a discussion of our hedging strategies and market risks, see the discussion below and Note 10 - “Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks” in our consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within our Form 10-K. 

Operational Currency Risks

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, euro or sterling as their functional currencies. Our operations also have revenue and expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our financial statements.

Based on a 10% change in all currency exchange rates that were used in our March 26, 2019 guidance, we estimate that our adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance would change by the following:

• $0.20 per share for the remaining three quarters of 2019

• $(0.01) per share for the second quarter of 2019

Interest Rate Risks

The composition of our debt, including the effect of foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps, was as follows:

	February 28, 2019
Fixed rate	26	%
EUR fixed rate	36	%
Floating rate	5	%
EUR floating rate	26	%
GBP floating rate	7	%

Fuel Price Risks

Based on a 10% change in fuel prices versus the current spot price that was used to calculate fuel expense in our March 26, 2019 guidance, we estimate that our adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance would change by the following:

• $0.18 per share for the remaining three quarters of 2019

• $0.06 per share for the second quarter of 2019

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

A. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, as of February 28, 2019, that they are effective at a reasonable level of assurance, as described above.

30

B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As previously disclosed, on May 15, 2018, the Marseilles, France Public Prosecutor alleged that Carnival plc and the captain of P&O Cruises’ Azura breached the French Environmental Code governing the sulfur content of fuel used during the vessel’s passage through French territorial waters. On November 26, 2018, the Tribunal de Grande Instance imposed a fine, costs and damages against Carnival plc and the captain for an aggregate of €118,000. We believe that we have a meritorious defense to this claim and have appealed the judgment. We also believe that the ultimate outcome of the proceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As previously disclosed, on August 24, 2018, a proposed class-action lawsuit was filed by James Wolfe and others against Carnival Corporation relating to the marketing and sales of Carnival Cruise Line’s Vacation Protection product. On January 3, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida granted Carnival Corporation’s motion to stay proceedings and compel arbitration. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Carnival Corporation has moved to dismiss the appeal. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claim and that any liability which may arise as a result of this action will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As previously disclosed, Princess Cruises entered into a plea agreement in December 2016 with the U.S. Department of Justice with respect to violations of federal laws related to illegal discharges of oily bilge water for incidents occurring in 2013 and prior. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida accepted the plea agreement in April 2017, and ordered that Princess Cruises pay a fine and complete a five-year term of probation. Carnival Corporation was further required to adopt a five-year court-supervised environmental compliance plan. The probation officer has filed a petition seeking to revoke the probation based on alleged violations of the conditions of probation, including violations of the terms of the environmental compliance plan. If the petition is successful, the impact could range from organizational changes relating to environmental compliance, further fines or action against Princess Cruises and Carnival Corporation. The court has not yet scheduled a hearing on the allegations in the petition and we are in discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” included in the Form 10-K, and there has been no material change to these risk factors since the Form 10-K filing. We wish to caution the reader that the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” included in the Form 10-K, and those described elsewhere in this report or other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, could cause future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

A. Repurchase Program

Under a share repurchase program effective 2004, we are authorized to repurchase Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ordinary shares (the “Repurchase Program”). Effective August 27, 2018, the company approved a modification of the general authorization under the Repurchase Program, which replenished the remaining authorized repurchases at the time of the approval to $1.0 billion. The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be discontinued by our Boards of Directors at any time.

31

During the three months ended February 28, 2019, repurchases of Carnival Corporation common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program were as follows:

Period	Total Number of Shares of Carnival Corporation Common Stock Purchased (in millions)	Average Price Paid per Share of Carnival Corporation Common Stock		Maximum Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Repurchase Program (in millions)
December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018	0.5	$	46.53	$	618
January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019	—	$	47.99	$	494
February 1, 2019 through February 28, 2019	—	$	—	$	460
Total	0.6	$	46.54

During the three months ended February 28, 2019, repurchases of Carnival plc ordinary shares pursuant to the Repurchase Program were as follows:

Period	Total Number of Shares of Carnival plc Purchased (in millions)	Average Price Paid per Share of Carnival plc		Maximum Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Repurchase Program (in millions)
December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018	1.6	$	52.43	$	618
January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019	2.4	$	51.60	$	494
February 1, 2019 through February 28, 2019	0.6	$	56.16	$	460
Total	4.6	$	52.48

No shares of Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ordinary shares were purchased outside of publicly announced plans or programs.

B. Stock Swap Programs

In addition to the Repurchase Program, we have programs that allow us to obtain an economic benefit when either Carnival Corporation common stock is trading at a premium to the price of Carnival plc ordinary shares or Carnival plc ordinary shares are trading at a premium to Carnival Corporation common stock (the “Stock Swap Programs”). For example:

• In the event Carnival Corporation common stock trades at a premium to Carnival plc ordinary shares, we may elect to sell shares of Carnival Corporation common stock, at prevailing market prices in ordinary brokers’ transactions and repurchase an equivalent number of Carnival plc ordinary shares in the UK market.

• In the event Carnival plc ordinary shares trade at a premium to Carnival Corporation common stock, we may elect to sell ordinary shares of Carnival plc, at prevailing market prices in ordinary brokers’ transactions and repurchase an equivalent number of shares of Carnival Corporation common stock in the U.S. market.

Under the Stock Swap Programs effective 2008, the Boards of Directors have made the following authorizations:

• In 2017, to sell up to 22.0 million shares of Carnival Corporation common stock in the U.S. market and repurchase up to 22.0 million of Carnival plc ordinary shares in the UK market. We had 22.0 million shares remaining under this authorization at February 28, 2019.

• In 2016, to sell up to 26.9 million of existing shares of Carnival plc in the UK market and repurchase up to 26.9 million shares of Carnival Corporation common stock in the U.S. market. We had 26.0 million shares remaining under this authorization at February 28, 2019.

Any sales of Carnival Corporation shares and Carnival plc ordinary shares have been or will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, no Carnival Corporation common stock or Carnival plc ordinary shares were sold or repurchased under the Stock Swap Programs.

32

C. Carnival plc Shareholder Approvals

Carnival plc ordinary share repurchases under both the Repurchase Program and the Stock Swap Programs require annual shareholder approval. The existing shareholder approval is limited to a maximum of 20.9 million ordinary shares and is valid until the earlier of the conclusion of the Carnival plc 2019 annual general meeting or July 10, 2019.

EX-10.1

FORM OF MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN TIED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

for the

CARNIVAL CORPORATION
2011 STOCK PLAN

THIS MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN TIED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), shall apply to the grant of Management Incentive Plan Tied Restricted Stock Units made to Executives of Carnival Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama, (the “Company”) or executives of an Affiliate, on [DATE] (the “Grant Date”) under the Carnival Corporation 2011 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

1.Grant of Management Incentive Plan Tied Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Grant. The Company hereby makes to the Executive a Management Incentive Plan Tied restricted stock unit grant consisting of that number of Management Incentive Plan Tied restricted stock units (the “MTE RSUs”) set forth in the Executive’s EquatePlus portfolio, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. Each MTE RSU represents the right to receive payment in respect of one Share as of the Settlement Date (as defined below), to the extent the Executive is vested in such MTE RSUs as of the Settlement Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. The MTE RSUs are subject to the restrictions described herein, including forfeiture under the circumstances described in Section 3 hereof (the “Restrictions”). The Restrictions shall lapse and the MTE RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 hereof.

(b)Incorporation by Reference, Etc. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement, and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Executive and his legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

2.Terms and Conditions.

(a)Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof, the MTE RSUs shall vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority to remove the Restrictions on the MTE RSUs whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the Grant Date, such action is appropriate.

(b)Settlement. The obligation to make payments and distributions with respect to MTE RSUs shall be satisfied through the issuance of one Share for each vested MTE RSU, less applicable withholding taxes (the “settlement”), and the settlement of the MTE RSUs may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. The MTE RSUs shall be settled on the first trading date occurring on or after the date that the

MTE RSUs vest (as applicable, the “Settlement Date”), except as otherwise provided in Section 6(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment date set forth in this Section 2(b) has been specified for the purpose of complying with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent payments are made during the periods permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under the Plan and shall not be in breach of its payments obligations hereunder.

(c)Dividends and Voting Rights. Each outstanding MTE RSU shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends (including extraordinary dividends if so determined by the Committee) declared and paid to shareholders of the Company in respect of one Share. Dividend equivalents shall not bear interest and shall be subject to the same Restrictions as the MTE RSUs to which they are attributable. On the Settlement Date, such dividend equivalents in respect of each vested MTE RSU shall be settled by delivery to the Executive of a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate accumulated value of such dividend equivalents by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that is 30 days prior to the applicable vesting date, rounded down to the nearest whole share, less any applicable withholding taxes. No dividend equivalents shall be accrued for the benefit of the Executive with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Executive has forfeited the MTE RSUs. The Executive shall have no voting rights with respect to the MTE RSUs or any dividend equivalents.

3.Termination of Employment or Service with the Company.

(a)Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Executive’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for Cause, then all outstanding MTE RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

(b)Termination by the Company Not for Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Combined Group and its Affiliates other than for Cause (as defined below) (and other than by reason of Disability or pursuant to Section 3(f) below), then the Executive shall be deemed to have vested on the date of termination in a number of MTE RSUs equal to the product of (i) the number of MTE RSUs granted multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the period commencing on the Grant Date through and including the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 1,096, rounded down to the nearest whole MTE RSU, and the remaining unvested portion of the MTE RSUs shall terminate on the date of termination of employment or service. These MTE RSUs shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 2(a) and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2(b) (without regard to the requirement that Executive remain employed by a member of the Combined Group or an Affiliate); provided, that all unreleased MTE RSUs and all rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited upon Executive’s violation of the provisions of Section 4 (Non-competition) or Section 5 (Non-disclosure) of this Agreement.

(c)Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates by reason of his or her death or Disability, the Restrictions shall lapse as to 100% of the MTE RSUs and the MTE RSUs shall fully vest on the date of termination and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2(b).

(d)Diagnosis of Terminal Illness. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment as a direct result of Executive being diagnosed with a terminal medical condition, the

2

Restrictions on the MTE RSUs shall lapse as to 100% of the MTE RSUs and the MTE RSUs shall fully vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 2(a) and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2(b); provided, that all unreleased MTE RSUs and all rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited upon Executive’s violation of the provisions of Section 4 (Non-competition) or Section 5 (Non-disclosure) of this Agreement.

(e)Attaining Retirement Age. The MTE RSUs shall become non-forfeitable upon the Executive’s attainment of Retirement Age while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, but shall remain subject to all other Restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive becomes subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding as a direct result of such lapse of the forfeiture restrictions, then the Restrictions shall lapse as to 50% of the MTE RSUs upon the Executive’s attainment of Retirement Age and such MTE RSUs shall vest. The Restrictions on the remaining 50% of the MTE RSUs shall lapse (and such MTE RSUs shall vest) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 2(a) or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Any vested MTE RSUs will be settled in accordance with Section 2(b).

(f)Termination After Change in Control. In accordance with Section 13(a) of the Plan, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Combined Group and its Affiliates other than for Cause upon or within 12 months following a Change in Control, the Restrictions shall lapse as to 100% of the MTE RSUs and the MTE RSUs shall fully vest on the date of termination and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2(b).

(g)Other Termination. If the Executive’s employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than as otherwise described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 (whether due to voluntary termination or otherwise), then all outstanding MTE RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

(h)Breach of Restrictive Covenants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no release of MTE RSUs shall be made, and all unreleased MTE RSUs issued hereunder and all rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited, if (i) the Executive shall engage in competition, as more particularly described in Section 4, or (ii) the Executive violates the nondisclosure provisions set forth in Section 5.

(i)Released MTE RSUs. Following Executive’s termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiary or legal representative, if applicable) must provide for all Stock underlying released MTE RSUs (including those issued under this Agreement as well as Shares underlying released MTE RSUs issued under any other similar agreement, whether on account of termination or previously released in connection with the vesting terms of such similar agreement) to be liquidated or transferred to a third party broker no later than six months following the later of (i) Executive’s date of termination or (ii) the latest Settlement Date or other applicable vesting or settlement date (whether under this Agreement or a similar agreement) occurring following the Executive’s termination. If the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiary, as applicable) fails to liquidate or transfer the Stock prior to the end of the applicable six month period, the Company is hereby authorized and directed by the Executive either, in the Company’s discretion: (i) to sell any such remaining Stock on the Executive’s (or the Executive’s beneficiary’s) behalf on the first trading date following the end of such period on which the Company is not prohibited from selling such Stock; or (ii) to transfer such Shares to the Company’s stock transfer agent for registration in the Executive’s (or the Executive’s beneficiary’s) name. The Company will not be

3

responsible for any gain or loss or taxes incurred with respect to the Stock underlying the released MTE RSUs in connection with such liquidation or transfer.

4.Non-Competition. The services of the Executive are unique, extraordinary and essential to the business of the Combined Group and its Affiliates. Accordingly, in consideration of the MTE RSUs granted hereunder, the Executive agrees that he/she will not, without the prior written approval of the Board, at any time during the term of his/her employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates and (except as provided below) for the then remaining duration of the Restrictions on the MTE RSUs, if any, following the date on which the Executive’s employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates terminates, directly or indirectly, within the cruise industry wherever located, engage in any business activity directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, or serve as an officer, director, owner, consultant, or employee of any organization then in competition with the Combined Group or its Affiliates. In addition, the Executive agrees that during such restricted period following his/her employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates, he/she will not solicit, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, its subsidiaries or division, who was such at the time of the Executive’s separation from employment hereunder. In the event that the provisions of this Section 4 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

5.Non-Disclosure. The Executive expressly agrees and understands that Combined Group or its Affiliates own and/or control information and material which is not generally available to third parties and which Combined Group or its Affiliates consider confidential, including, without limitation, methods, products, processes, customer lists, trade secrets and other information applicable to its business and that it may from time to time acquire, improve or produce additional methods, products, processes, customers lists, trade secrets and other information (collectively, the ”Confidential Information”). The Executive hereby acknowledges that each element of the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of Combined Group or its Affiliates, and that certain items of the Confidential Information have been acquired from third parties upon the express condition that such items would not be disclosed to Combined Group or its Affiliates and its officers and agents other than in the ordinary course of business. The Executive hereby acknowledges that disclosure of Combined Group or its Affiliates’ Confidential Information to and/or use by anyone other than in Combined Group or its Affiliates’ ordinary course of business would result in irreparable and continuing damage to Combined Group or its Affiliates. Accordingly, the Executive agrees to hold the Confidential Information in the strictest secrecy, and covenants that, during the term of his/her employment with Combined Group or its Affiliates (or any member of the Combined Group or its Affiliates) or at any time thereafter, he/she will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, allow any element of the Confidential Information to be disclosed, published or used, nor permit the Confidential Information to be discussed, published or used, either by himself or by any third parties, except in effecting Executive’s duties for Combined Group or its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business. The Executive agrees to keep all such records in connection with the Executive’s employment as Combined Group or its Affiliates may direct, and all such records shall be the sole and absolute property of Combined Group or its Affiliates. The Executive further agrees that, within five (5) days of Combined Group or its Affiliates’ request, he/she shall surrender to Combined Group or its Affiliates any and all documents, memoranda, books, papers, letters, price lists, notebooks, reports, logbooks, code books, salesmen records,

4

customer lists, activity reports, video or audio recordings, computer programs and any and all other data and information and any and all copies thereof relating to Combined Group or its Affiliates’ business or any Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Executive from voluntarily communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal or state government agency about a potential violation of a federal or state law or regulation or to participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding the Company's or an Affiliate’s past or future conduct, or engage in any activities protected under whistle blower statutes.Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive shall not be held criminally, or civilly, liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official, or an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting, or investigating, a violation of law. Moreover, the Executive may disclose trade secrets in a complaint, or other document, filed in a lawsuit, or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Finally, if the Executive files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company or an Affiliate for reporting a suspected violation of the law, the Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding, if the Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

6.Miscellaneous.

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and settlement of the MTE RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. If the settlement of the MTE RSUs would be prohibited by law, the settlement shall be delayed until the earliest date on which the settlement would not be so prohibited.

(b)Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in writing, the MTE RSUs shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(c)Tax Withholding. The Executive acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Executive’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Executive’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Executive (Tax-Related Items), is and remains the Executive’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Executive further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the MTE RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the MTE RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the MTE RSUs to reduce or

5

eliminate the Executive’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Executive is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Executive acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Executive agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Executive authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Executive’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Executive by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the MTE RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Executive’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the MTE RSUs. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may cause a portion of the MTE RSUs to vest prior to the applicable date set forth in Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement in order to satisfy any Tax-Related Items that arise prior to the date of settlement of the MTE RSUs; provided that to the extent necessary to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A of the Code, the number of MTE RSUs so accelerated and settled shall be with respect to a number of Shares with a value that does not exceed the liability for such Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is an officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will not withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event other than where U.S. federal tax withholding is required upon lapse of the forfeiture restrictions pursuant to Sections 3(b), (d) or 3(e) of this Agreement, or if otherwise approved in advance by the Committee or the Board.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Executive will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Executive is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Executive agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Executive’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Executive fails to comply with the Executive’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(d)Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Executive acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

6

(i)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(ii)the grant of the MTE RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of MTE RSUs, or benefits in lieu of MTE RSUs, even if MTE RSUs have been granted in the past;

(iii)all decisions with respect to future awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(iv)the Executive is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(v)the MTE RSUs and the Shares subject to the MTE RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(vi)the MTE RSUs and the Shares subject to the MTE RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(vii)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(viii)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the MTE RSUs resulting from the termination of the Executive’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Executive is employed or the terms of the Executive’s employment agreement, if any);

(ix)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the MTE RSUs and the Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Executive may provide as a director of the Company or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates;

(x)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the MTE RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the MTE RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and

(xi)if the Executive resides outside the United States or is otherwise subject to the laws of a country outside the United States:

(A)the MTE RSUs and the Shares subject to the MTE RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose; and

7

(B)neither the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group or its Affiliates shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Executive’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the MTE RSUs or of any amounts due to the Executive pursuant to the settlement of the MTE RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

(e)No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Executive’s participation in the Plan, or the Executive’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Executive should consult with the Executive’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Executive’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

(f)Clawback/Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of fraud, negligence, intentional or gross misconduct or other wrongdoing on the part of Executive (or any other event or circumstance set forth in any clawback policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any clawback policy adopted to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder) that results in a material restatement of the Company’s issued financial statements, such Executive will (i) forfeit any unvested MTE RSUs and (ii) be required to reimburse the Company for all or a portion, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, of any income or gain realized on the settlement of the MTE RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the MTE RSUs with respect to any fiscal year in which the Company’s financial results are negatively impacted by such restatement.  The Executive agrees to and shall be required to repay any such amount to the Company within 30 days after the Company demands repayment.  In addition, if the Company is required by law to include an additional “clawback” or “forfeiture” provision to outstanding grants, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or forfeiture provision shall also apply to this Agreement as if it had been included on the Grant Date and the Company shall promptly notify the Executive of such additional provision.  In addition, if a Executive has engaged or is engaged in Detrimental Activity after the Executive’s employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries has ceased, then the Executive, within 30 days after written demand by the Company, shall return any income or gain realized on the settlement of the MTE RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the MTE RSUs.

(g)Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Executive is subject to U.S. federal tax and the MTE RSUs are considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code: (i) references in this Agreement to “termination of employment” or “termination of service” (and substantially similar phrases) shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; and (ii) if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any settlement of the MTE RSUs upon the Executive’s separation from service shall be made to the Executive on the first trading date following the date that is six months after the date of the Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment that may be made in respect of the MTE RSUs is designated as a separate payment.

8

(h)No Rights as Stockholder. The Executive shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to the MTE RSUs. The Company shall not be required to set aside any fund for the payment of the MTE RSUs.

(i)Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(j)Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to the Executive, at the Executive’s address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal executive office.

(k)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(l)No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Executive any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Executive at any time for any reason whatsoever. The rights and obligations of the Executive under the terms and conditions of the Executive’s office or employment shall not be affected by this Agreement. The Executive waives all and any rights to compensation and damages in consequence of the termination of the Executive’s office or employment with any member of the Combined Group or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever (whether lawfully or unlawfully) insofar as those rights arise, or may arise, from the Executive’s ceasing to have rights under or the Executive’s entitlement to the MTE RSUs under this Agreement as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Section 6(l) and the Executive’s terms of employment, this Section will take precedence.

(m)Beneficiary. In the event of the Executive’s death, any Shares that vest pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement will be issued to the legal representative of the Executive’s estate.

(n)Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and of the Executive and the beneficiaries, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Executive.

(o)Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and

9

supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted without consent of the Executive in accordance with the Plan.

(p)Governing Law; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT ANY ACTION ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS LITIGATED OR HEARD IN ANY COURT.

(q)Data Protection. The Employer, the Company and any Affiliate may collect, use, process, transfer or disclose the Executive’s Personal Information for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Executive’s participation in the Plan, in accordance with the Carnival Corporation & plc Equity Plans Participant Privacy Notice the Executive previously received. (The Executive should contact ownership@carnival.com if he or she would like to receive another copy of this notice.) For example, the Executive’s Personal Information may be directly or indirectly transferred to Equatex AG or any other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company, and any other third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

(r)Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Executive may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Executive’s country, which may affect the Executive’s ability to directly or indirectly, for his- or her- self or a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, Shares under the Plan during such times as the Executive is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Executive’s country), or may affect the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Executive placed before the Executive possessed inside information.

APPENDIX A

Country Specific Information

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Executive if the Executive resides in one of the countries listed herein. This Appendix A forms part of the Agreement. These terms and conditions are in addition to, or if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions in the Agreement.

If the Executive is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Executive is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Executive under these circumstances.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange controls, securities laws and certain other issues of which the Executive should be aware with respect to the Executive's participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities laws and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of December 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Executive not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Executive's participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Executive vests in the Award or when the Executive sell the Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Executive's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Executive of any particular result. Accordingly, the Executive is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Executive's country may apply to the Executive's situation.

Finally, if the Executive is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Executive is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner to the Executive.

BRAZIL

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Compliance with Law. By accepting the Award, the Executive agrees to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to report and pay applicable Tax-Related Items associated with the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired under the Plan.

Nature of Grant.  This provision supplements Section 6(d) - Nature of Grant of the Agreement:

NOTIFICATIONS

The Executive is required to report any specified foreign property (including MTE RSUs and Shares) on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. The form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. MTE RSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property the Executive holds. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if the Executive own other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. It is the Executive's responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations. The Executive should consult with the Executive's personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

CHINA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms and conditions will be applicable to the Executive to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Executive's participation in the Plan will be subject to exchange control restrictions in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), as implemented by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”):

Vesting. This provision supplements Section 2(a) - Vesting of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Award will not vest and no Shares will be issued to the Executive unless and until all necessary exchange control or other approvals with respect to the Award under the Plan are obtained from SAFE or its local

15

counterpart (“SAFE Approval”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained, or the Company is unable to maintain its SAFE Approval, prior to any date(s) on which the Award is scheduled to vest, the Award will not vest until the seventh day of the month following the month in which SAFE Approval is obtained or reinstated (the “Actual Vesting Date”). If the Executive's employment terminates prior to the Actual Vesting Date, the Executive shall not be entitled to vest in any portion of the Award and the Award shall be forfeited without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates.

If or to the extent the Company is unable to obtain or maintain SAFE Approval, no Shares subject to the MTE RSUs for which SAFE Approval has not been obtained or maintain shall be issued. In this case, the Company retains the discretion to settle any MTE RSUs in cash paid through local payroll in an amount equal to the market value of the Shares subject to the MTE RSUs less any Tax-Related Items; provided, however, that in case the Company is able to obtain or reinstate its SAFE Approval with respect to any MTE RSUs, the cash payment for MTE RSUs not covered by the SAFE Approval shall not be made until the SAFE Approval has been obtained or reinstated.

Settlement of MTE RSUs and Sale of Shares. This provision supplements Section 2(b) - Settlement of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, to facilitate compliance with PRC exchange control restrictions the Executive agrees that any Shares acquired at settlement of the Award may be immediately sold at settlement or, at the Company’s discretion, at a later time (including when the Executive's employment terminates for any reason). If, however, the sale of the Shares is not permissible under the Company’s insider trading policy, the Company retains the discretion to postpone the issuance of the Shares subject to the vested Award until such time that the sale is again permissible and to then immediately sell the Shares subject to the Award. The Executive further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of the Shares (on the Executive's behalf pursuant to this authorization), and the Executive expressly authorizes such broker to complete the sale of the Shares. The Executive acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions, to the Executive in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations and provided any liability for Tax-Related Items has been satisfied. Due to fluctuations in the share price and/or the United States Dollar exchange rate between the settlement date and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the sale proceeds may be more or less than the fair market value of the Shares on the settlement date (which is the amount relevant to determining the Executive's tax liability). The Executive understands and agrees that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss the Executive may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuation in the share price and/or United States Dollar exchange rate.

The Executive further agrees that any Shares to be issued to the Executive shall be deposited directly into an account with the Company’s designated broker. The deposited shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the brokerage account. This limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms. The limitation shall apply to all Shares issued to the Executive under

16

the Plan, whether or not the Executive continues to be employed by the Company, the Combined Group or one of its Affiliates.

Exchange Control Restrictions. By accepting the Award, the Executive understands and agrees that the Executive will be required to immediately repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired under the Plan or from any cash dividends paid on such Shares. The Executive further understands that such repatriation of the proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or any Affiliate, and the Executive hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds may be transferred to such account by the Company (or its designated broker) on the Executive's behalf prior to being delivered to the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges and understands that there may be a delay between the date the Shares are sold and the date the cash proceeds are distributed to the Executive. The Executive further agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated broker) to effectuate such transfers.

The proceeds may be paid to the Executive in United States Dollars or local currency, at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid to the Executive in United States Dollars, the Executive understands that the Executive will be required to set up a United States Dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid to the Executive in local currency, (i) the Executive acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions, and (ii) the Executive agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold or dividends are paid and the time the proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Executive. The Executive agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Nature of Grant. The following provision supplements Section 6(d) - Nature of Grant of the Agreement:

In accepting the Award, the Executive consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Executive has received a copy of the Plan.

The Executive understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company, the Employer, or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates throughout the world. This decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company, the Employer, or any member of the

20

Combined Group and its Affiliates. Consequently, the Executive understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any Shares issued upon settlement of the Award are not a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.

Further, the Executive understands and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Agreement, the Award will be cancelled without entitlement to any Shares if the Executive ceases to be an eligible Executive for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.

In addition, the Executive understands that this grant would not be made to the Executive but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Executive acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the Award shall be null and void.

In addition, the Executive may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including Shares acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of Shares made pursuant to the Plan), depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.

Without limitation to Section 6(c) of the Agreement, the Executive agrees that the Executive is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or any Affiliate or by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Executive also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and any Affiliate against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Executive’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

22

she may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Executive, in case the indemnification could be considered a loan. In this case, the income tax not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Executive on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. The Executive will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any employee National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Executive by any of the means referred to in this Agreement.

In addition, the Executive agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may calculate the income tax to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right the Executive may have to recover any overpayment from HMRC or any applicable tax authority.

Joint Election for Transfer of Employer NICs. As a condition of the MTE RSUs granted hereunder, the Executive agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions (the “Employer NICs”), which may be payable by the Company or the Employer with respect to the vesting of the MTE RSUs, the issuance of Shares pursuant to the MTE RSUs, the assignment or release of the MTE RSUs for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the MTE RSUs.

Without limitation to the foregoing, the Executive agrees to enter into an election (the “Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for Employer NICs payments on any such gains shall be transferred to the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law.

FORM OF MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN TIED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT

for the

CARNIVAL PLC 2014 EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN
(the Plan)

Grant Agreement - Conditional Right to Receive

This Management Incentive Plan Tied Restricted Share Unit Grant Agreement (the Agreement), shall apply to the grant of Management Incentive Plan Tied Restricted Share Units made to select Executives of Carnival plc (the Company), on [DATE] under the Carnival plc 2014 Employee Share Plan (the Plan).

The Company hereby makes to you a Management Incentive Plan Tied restricted share unit (the MTE RSUs) grant consisting of that number of MTE RSUs set forth in your EquatePlus portfolio, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency, the rules of the Plan shall take precedence. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.

Nature of Grant

Each MTE RSU comprised in your grant is equivalent to a hypothetical investment in one ordinary share of $1.66 each in the capital of the Company (a Share). Your grant is in the form of a conditional right to acquire the number of Shares equal to the number of MTE RSUs comprised in your grant at a nil cost.

You will have no beneficial interest in any Shares during the Restricted Period.

Restricted Period

Your grant is subject to a Restricted Period. In this case, the Restricted Period on the MTE RSUs shall expire on the second anniversary of the grant date specified in your EquatePlus portfolio (the Grant Date).

Generally, your grant will be forfeited automatically on you ceasing to be an employee of the plc Group (whether lawfully or unlawfully) before the expiry of the Restricted Period. However, upon the termination of your employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate due to death, Disability or Retirement or as otherwise set forth in subsections (c), (d) and (e) below, the grant shall be released according to the following, unless and until you engage in competition in violation of the Competition and Nondisclosure provisions below:

a)In the event you terminate by reason of death or Disability, the Restricted Period shall lapse on the date of your death or Disability.

b)In the event you terminate by reason of Retirement, the restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the rules of the Plan.

c)In the event you voluntarily terminate employment as a direct result of you being diagnosed with a terminal medical condition, the Restricted Period shall lapse on the earlier of your death or the second anniversary of the Grant Date.

d)In the event a member of the Combined Group or an Affiliate terminates your employment with such company for a reason other than for Cause and other than in the circumstances set forth in subsection (e) below, you shall be deemed to have vested on the date of termination in a number of MTE RSUs equal to the product of (i) the number of MTE RSUs granted multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the period commencing on the Grant Date through and including the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 1,096, rounded down to the nearest whole MTE RSU, and the remaining unvested portion of the MTE RSUs shall terminate on the date of termination of

1

employment or service. The Restricted Period for these MTE RSUs shall lapse on the second anniversary of the Grant Date.

e)In accordance with Section 12(a) of the Plan, in the event a member of the Combined Group or an Affiliate terminates your employment with such company other than for Cause upon or within 12 months following a Change in Control, the Restricted Period shall lapse on the date of your termination of employment.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the above, no release of the grant shall be made, and all rights to this grant shall be forfeited, if any of the following events shall occur:

a)Your employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined set forth in the Plan;

b)You voluntarily terminate employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate prior to Retirement unless such voluntary termination is directly related to death, Disability or you being diagnosed with a terminal medical condition;

c)You engage in competition, as more particularly described below, either (i) during the term of your employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate; (ii) following your voluntary termination of employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate; or (iii) following the employing company’s termination of your employment for any reason; or

d)You violate the nondisclosure provisions set forth below.

Release of Grant

You will be deemed to have called for the release of your grant on the date on which your grant vests following expiration of the Restricted Period and attainment of the vesting criteria set out in the Restricted Period clause above unless the release of your grant would be prohibited by law, the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Companies or the Company’s dealing code. In such a case you will be deemed to have called for the release of your grant on the first date following vesting of your grant on which the release of your grant would not be prohibited. This grant may only be settled in Shares.

Dividends

The Compensation Committee has determined that on each occasion on which a dividend is paid in respect of one Share, a notional amount of cash and shares equal to the cash and share dividend paid in respect of one Share will be credited to each MTE RSU comprised in your grant (the Dividend Equivalents). Dividend Equivalents will be withheld by the Company for your account and will be distributed to you in the form of additional Shares on settlement of your grant. If your grant is forfeited, you will have no entitlement to such Dividend Equivalents.

Taxation

You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Companyor, if different, your employer (the Employer), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (Tax-Related Items), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the grant, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or

2

settlement of the grant, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the grant to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Companyand/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the grant either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the grant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will not withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event other than in the event that U.S. federal tax withholding is required upon lapse of the forfeiture restrictions pursuant to subsections (b), (c) or (d) in the “Restricted Period” section of this Agreement, or if otherwise approved in advance by the Committee or the Board.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested grant, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding any discretion contained in rule 9(g) of the Plan, the grant is payable in Shares only.

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information. You are permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the sale of the Shares takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the London Stock Exchange).

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You are required to report any specified foreign property (including MTE RSUs and Shares) on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. The form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. MTE RSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property you hold. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (ACB) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. It is your responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations. You should consult with your personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

CHINA

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms and conditions will be applicable to you to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your participation in the Plan will be subject to exchange control restrictions in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), as implemented by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE):

Vesting. This provision supplements the “Restricted Period” section of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the grant will not vest and no Shares will be issued to you unless and until all necessary exchange control or other approvals with respect to the grant under the Plan are obtained from SAFE or its local counterpart (SAFE Approval), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained, or the Company is unable to maintain its SAFE approval, prior to any date(s) on which the grant is scheduled to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in Appendix A to the Agreement, the grant will not vest until the seventh day of the month following the month in which SAFE Approval is obtained or reinstated (the Actual Vesting Date). If your Employment terminates prior to the Actual Vesting Date, you shall not be entitled to vest in any portion of the grant and the grant shall be forfeited without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates.

If or to the extent the Company is unable to obtain or maintain SAFE Approval, no Shares subject to the MTE RSUs for which SAFE Approval has not been obtained or maintained shall be issued. In this case, the Company retains the discretion to settle any MTE RSUs in cash paid through local payroll in an amount equal to the market value of the Shares subject to the MTE RSUs less any Tax-Related Items; provided, however, that in case the Company is able to obtain or reinstate its SAFE Approval with respect to any MTE RSUs, the cash payment for MTE RSUs not covered by the SAFE Approval shall not be made until the SAFE Approval has been obtained or reinstated.

Settlement of MTE RSUs and Sale of Shares. This provision supplements the “Release of Grant” section of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, to facilitate compliance with PRC exchange control restrictions you agree that any Shares acquired at settlement of the grant may be immediately sold at settlement or, at the Company’s discretion, at a later time (including when you terminate your Employment for any reason). If, however, the sale of the Shares is not permissible under the Company’s insider trading policy, the Company retains the discretion to postpone the issuance of the Shares subject to the vested grant until such time that the sale is again permissible and to then immediately sell the Shares subject to the grant. You further agree that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of the Shares (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization), and you expressly authorize such broker to complete the sale of the Shares. You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions, to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations and provided any liability for Tax-Related Items has been satisfied. Due to fluctuations in the share price and/or the United States Dollar exchange rate between the settlement date and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the sale proceeds may

13

be more or less than the market value of the Shares on the settlement date (which is the amount relevant to determining your tax liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuation in the share price and/or United States Dollar exchange rate.

You further agree that any Shares to be issued to you shall be deposited directly into an account with the Company’s designated broker. The deposited Shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the brokerage account. This limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms. The limitation shall apply to all Shares issued to you under the Plan, whether or not you continue to be employed by the Company, the Combined Group or one of its Affiliates.

Exchange Control Restrictions. By accepting the grant, you understand and agree that you will be required to immediately repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired under the Plan or from any cash dividends paid or such Shares. You further understand that such repatriation of the proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or any Affiliate, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such account by the Company (or its designated broker) on your behalf prior to being delivered to you. You also acknowledge and understand that there may be a delay between the date the Shares are sold and the date the cash proceeds are distributed to you. You further agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated broker) to effectuate such transfers.

The proceeds may be paid to you in United States Dollars or local currency, at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid to you in United States Dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a United States Dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, (i) you acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions, and (ii) you agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold or dividends are paid and the time the proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to you. You agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, pursuant to which restricted stock units may be granted in respect of Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Participant restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the performance-based restricted stock units provided for herein to the Participant subject to the terms set forth herein.

1.    Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Grant.

Each PBS RSU represents the right to receive payment in respect of one Share as of the Settlement Date (as defined below), to the extent the Participant is vested in such PBS RSUs as of the Settlement Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. The PBS RSUs are subject to the restrictions described herein, including forfeiture under the circumstances described in Section 3 hereof (the “Restrictions”).

(c)Acceptance of Agreement. Unless the Participant notifies the Company's Global Human Resources Department in writing to ownership@carnival.com within 10 days after delivery

2.    Terms and Conditions of Vesting and Settlement.

(a)Performance and Service Conditions to Vesting.

(i)A specified percentage of the PBS RSUs shall vest if both (A) the Participant remains in continuous employment or continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate through the Settlement Date (defined in Section 2(b) below), except as provided in Section 3(b), and (B) the Company achieves the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A at a level equal to or above the threshold level of performance, also set forth on Exhibit A (the “Performance Goals”). Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, the Participant shall be deemed to not be in continuous employment or continuous service if the Participant's status changes from employee to non‑employee, or vice-versa. The actual number of PBS RSUs that may vest ranges from zero to 200% of the Target Amount, based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved, in accordance with the methodology set out on Exhibit A, subject to a maximum payout cap of 200%. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), in no event shall any PBS RSUs vest unless and until (i) at least the threshold Performance Goal is achieved, (ii) the Committee certifies that the Performance Goals have been met and determines the level of attainment of the Performance Goals (the “Certification”), and (iii) the Participant has remained in the continuous employment or continuous service of the Company or an Affiliate through the Settlement Date. If the foregoing vesting requirements are not met, no PBS RSUs shall vest and this grant of PBS RSUs shall be cancelled in its entirety.

(ii)At any time following the Date of Grant, the Committee shall make adjustments or modifications to the Performance Goals and the calculation of the Performance Goals as it determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary in order to avoid dilution or enlargement of the intended benefits to be provided to the Participant under this Agreement, to reflect the following events: (A) asset write-downs; (B) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (C) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (D) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (E) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 225-20 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (F) acquisitions or divestitures; (G) foreign exchange gains and losses; (H) discontinued operations and nonrecurring charges; (I) a change in the Company’s fiscal year; and/or (J) any other specific, unusual or nonrecurring events.

(b)Settlement. The obligation to make payments and distributions with respect to PBS RSUs shall be satisfied through the issuance of one Share for each vested PBS RSU, less applicable withholding taxes (the “settlement”), and the settlement of the PBS RSUs may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), Earned PBS RSUs (as defined in Exhibit A) shall vest and be settled as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Cycle (as defined in Exhibit A) and Certification (the “Settlement Date”), but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which Certification occurs, except as otherwise specified in Section 4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment dates set forth in this Section 2(b) have been specified for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

On the Settlement Date, such dividend equivalents in respect of each vested PBS RSU shall be settled by delivery to the Participant of a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate accumulated value of such dividend equivalents by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that is 30 days prior to the Settlement Date or other applicable vesting date set forth in Section 3(b), rounded down to the nearest whole share, less any applicable withholding taxes. No dividend equivalents shall be accrued for the benefit of the Participant with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Date of Grant, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited the PBS RSUs. The Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to the PBS RSUs or any dividend equivalents.

(c)Other Termination. If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than as otherwise described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 (whether due to voluntary termination, Retirement, termination by the Company without Cause, or otherwise), then all outstanding PBS RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

Following Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary, if applicable) must provide for all Shares underlying released PBS RSUs (including those issued under this Agreement as well as Shares underlying released PBS RSUs issued under any other similar agreement, whether on account of termination or previously released in connection with the vesting terms of such similar agreement) to be liquidated or transferred to a third party broker no later than six months following the later of (i) the Participant's date of termination or (ii) the latest Settlement Date or other applicable vesting or settlement date (whether under this Agreement or a similar agreement) occurring following the Participant's termination. If the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary, as applicable) fails to liquidate or transfer the Shares prior to the end of the applicable six month period, the Company is hereby authorized and directed by the Participant either, in the Company's discretion: (i) to sell any such remaining Shares on the Participant's (or the Participant's beneficiary's) behalf on the first trading date following the end of such period on which the Company is not prohibited from

The Company shall not be required to set aside any fund for the payment of the PBS RSUs.

5.    Miscellaneous.

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and settlement of the PBS RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. If the settlement of the PBS RSUs would be prohibited by law or the Company’s dealing rules, the settlement shall be delayed until the earliest date on which the settlement would not be so prohibited.

(b)Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in writing, the PBS RSUs shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(c)Tax Withholding. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Participant's employer (the Employer), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (Tax-Related Items), is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PBS RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PBS RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PBS RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PBS RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf

4

pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the PBS RSUs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in Shares only upon advance approval by the Committee or the Board.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Grant, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(d)Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(i)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(ii)    the grant of the PBS RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PBS RSUs, or benefits in lieu of PBS RSUs, even if PBS RSUs have been granted in the past;

(iii)    all decisions with respect to future awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(iv)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(v)    the PBS RSUs and the Shares subject to the PBS RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(vi)    the PBS RSUs and the Shares subject to the PBS RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(vii)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

5

(viii)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PBS RSUs resulting from the termination of the Participant's employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any);

(ix)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the PBS RSUs and the Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of the Company or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates;

(x)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the PBS RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PBS RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and

(xi)    if the Participant resides outside the United States or is otherwise subject to the laws of a country outside the United States:

(A)    the PBS RSUs and the Shares subject to the PBS RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose; and

(B)    neither the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group or its Affiliates shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the PBS RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the PBS RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

(a)No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the Participant's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant should consult with the Participant's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

(b)Clawback/Forfeiture.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material restatement of the Company's issued financial statements, the Committee shall review the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement (including, without limitation any potential wrongdoing by the Participant and whether the restatement was the result of negligence or intentional or gross misconduct) and may in its sole discretion direct the Company to (A) cancel all outstanding PBS RSUs and/or (B) recover all or a portion of any income or gain realized on the settlement of the PBS RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PBS RSUs with respect to any fiscal year in which the Company's financial results are negatively impacted by such restatement. If the Committee directs the Company to recover any such amount from the Participant, then the Participant agrees to and shall be required to repay any such amount to the Company within 30 days after the Company demands repayment. In addition, if the Company is required by law to include an additional “clawback” or “forfeiture” provision to outstanding grants, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer

6

Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or forfeiture provision shall also apply to this Agreement as if it had been included on the Date of Grant and the Company shall promptly notify the Participant of such additional provision. In addition, if a Participant has engaged or is engaged in Detrimental Activity after the Participant's employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries has ceased, then the Participant, within 30 days after written demand by the Company, shall return any income or gain realized on the settlement of the PBS RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PBS RSUs.

(ii)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Detrimental Activity” means any of the following: (i) unauthorized disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information of the Combined Group, (ii) any activity that would be grounds to terminate the Participant's employment or service with the Combined Group for Cause, (iii) whether in writing or orally, maligning, denigrating or disparaging the Combined Group or their respective predecessors and successors, or any of the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publishing (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned persons or entities in an unfavorable light, or (iv) the breach of any noncompetition, nonsolicitation or other agreement containing restrictive covenants, with the Combined Group. For purposes of the preceding sentence the phrase “the Combined Group” shall mean “any member of the Combined Group or any Affiliate”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Participant from voluntarily communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal or state government agency about a potential violation of a federal or state law or regulation or to participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding the Company's or an Affiliate’s past or future conduct, or engage in any activities protected under whistle blower statutes. Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Participant shall not be held criminally, or civilly, liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official, or an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting, or investigating, a violation of law. Moreover, the Participant may disclose trade secrets in a complaint, or other document, filed in a lawsuit, or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Finally, if the Participant files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company or an Affiliate for reporting a suspected violation of the law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding, if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(c)Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(d)Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant's address indicated by the Company's records, or if to the Company, at the Company's principal executive office.

7

(e)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(f)No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever. The rights and obligations of the Participant under the terms and conditions of the Participant's office or employment shall not be affected by this Agreement. The Participant waives all and any rights to compensation and damages in consequence of the termination of the Participant's office or employment with any member of the Combined Group or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever (whether lawfully or unlawfully) insofar as those rights arise, or may arise, from the Participant's ceasing to have rights under or the Participant's entitlement to the PBS RSUs under this Agreement as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Section 5(j) and the Participant's terms of employment, this Section will take precedence.

(g)Beneficiary. In the event of the Participant's death, any Shares that vest pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement will be issued to the legal representative of the Participant’s estate.

(h)Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and of the Participant and the beneficiaries, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.

(i)Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted without consent of the Participant in accordance with the Plan.

(j)Governing Law; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT ANY ACTION ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS LITIGATED OR HEARD IN ANY COURT.

(k)Data Protection. The Employer, the Company and any Affiliate may collect, use, process, transfer or disclose the Participant’s Personal Information for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan, in accordance with the Carnival Corporation & plc Equity Plans Participant Privacy Notice the Participant previously received. (The Participant should contact ownership@carnival.com if he or she would like to receive another copy of this notice.) For example, the Participant’s Personal Information may be directly or indirectly transferred to Equatex AG or any other third party stock

8

plan service provider as may be selected by the Company, and any other third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

(l)Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Participant’s country, which may affect the Participant’s ability to directly or indirectly, for his- or her- self or a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Participant’s country), or may affect the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Local insider trading laws and regulations may be the same or different from any Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to be informed of and compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should speak to the Participant’s personal advisor on this matter.

(m)Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction, and shall not constitute a part, of this Agreement.

(n)Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient, so as to allow the Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

(o)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

6.    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the end of the Performance Cycle but prior to the vesting or settlement of the PBS RSUs, the level of attainment of the Performance Goals and the number of Earned PBS RSUs (if any) will be determined and certified by the Committee in the manner set forth on Exhibit A. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Cycle, the Performance Cycle will end on the Accelerated End Date set forth on Exhibit A and the level of attainment of the Performance Goals and the number of Earned PBS RSUs (if any) will be determined and certified by the Committee in the manner set forth on Exhibit A. Any such Earned PBS RSUs will vest and be settled in accordance with Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

7.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the PBS RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Agreement as of the day first written above.

FORM OF PERFORMANCE‑BASEDRESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT

FOR THE CARNIVAL PLC 2014 EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

THIS DEED, constituting the [YEAR] PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), shall apply to any grant of performance-based Restricted Share Units made to employees of Carnival plc, a corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”), or employees of an Affiliate, on [DATE] (the “Date of Grant”) under the Carnival plc 2014 Employee Share Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, pursuant to which restricted stock units may be granted in respect of Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Participant restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the performance-based restricted share units provided for herein to the Participant subject to the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

1.    Grant of Restricted Share Units.

(a)Grant. The Company hereby grants to select individuals (each a “Participant”) as of the Date of Grant a target number of performance-based restricted share units (the “PBS RSUs”) as listed in the Participant’s EquatePlus portfolio (the “Target Amount”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each PBS RSU represents the right to receive payment in respect of one Share as of the Settlement Date (as defined below), to the extent the Participant is vested in such PBS RSUs as of the Settlement Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. The PBS RSUs are subject to the restrictions described herein, including forfeiture under the circumstances described in Section 3 hereof (the “Restrictions”). The Restrictions shall lapse and the PBS RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 hereof.

(b)Incorporation by Reference, Etc. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

(c)Acceptance of Agreement. Unless the Participant notifies the Company's Global Human Resources Department in writing to ownership@carnival.com within 10 days after delivery of this Agreement that the Participant does not wish to accept this Agreement, the Participant will be deemed to have accepted this Agreement and will be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

2.    Terms and Conditions of Vesting and Settlement.

1

(a)Performance and Service Conditions to Vesting.

(i)A specified percentage of the PBS RSUs shall vest if both (A) the Participant remains in continuous employment or continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate through the Settlement Date (defined in Section 2(b) below), except as provided in Section 3(b), and (B) the Company achieves the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A at a level equal to or above the threshold level of performance, also set forth on Exhibit A (the “Performance Goals”). Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, the Participant shall be deemed to not be in continuous employment or continuous service if the Participant's status changes from employee to non‑employee, or vice-versa. The actual number of PBS RSUs that may vest ranges from zero to 200% of the Target Amount, based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved, in accordance with the methodology set out on Exhibit A, subject to a maximum payout cap of 200%. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), in no event shall any PBS RSUs vest unless and until (i) at least the threshold Performance Goal is achieved, (ii) the Committee certifies that the Performance Goals have been met and determines the level of attainment of the Performance Goals (the “Certification”), and (iii) the Participant has remained in the continuous employment or continuous service of the Company or an Affiliate through the Settlement Date. If the foregoing vesting requirements are not met, no PBS RSUs shall vest and this grant of PBS RSUs shall be cancelled in its entirety.

(ii)At any time following the Date of Grant, the Committee shall make adjustments or modifications to the Performance Goals and the calculation of the Performance Goals as it determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary in order to avoid dilution or enlargement of the intended benefits to be provided to the Participant under this Agreement, to reflect the following events: (A) asset write-downs; (B) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (C) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (D) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (E) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 225-20 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (F) acquisitions or divestitures; (G) foreign exchange gains and losses; (H) discontinued operations and nonrecurring charges; (I) a change in the Company’s fiscal year; and/or (J) any other specific, unusual or nonrecurring events.

(b)Settlement. The obligation to make payments and distributions with respect to PBS RSUs shall be satisfied through the issuance of one Share for each vested PBS RSU, less applicable withholding taxes (the “settlement”), and the settlement of the PBS RSUs may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), Earned PBS RSUs (as defined in Exhibit A) shall vest and be settled as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Cycle (as defined in Exhibit A) and Certification (the “Settlement Date”), but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which Certification occurs, except as otherwise specified in Section 4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment dates set forth in this Section 2(b) have been specified for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). To the extent payments are made during the periods permitted under Section 409A (including any applicable periods before or after the specified payment dates set forth in this Section 2(b)), the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under the Plan and shall be deemed not to be in breach of its payments obligations hereunder.

(c)Dividends and Voting Rights. Subject to the limitation set forth in Exhibit A (8), each PBS RSU subject to this grant shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends (including extraordinary dividends if so determined by the Committee) declared and paid to other shareholders of the Company in respect of one Share. Dividend equivalents shall not bear interest. On the Settlement Date, such dividend equivalents in respect of each vested PBS RSU shall be settled by delivery to the Participant of a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate accumulated value of such

2

dividend equivalents by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that is 30 days prior to the Settlement Date or other applicable vesting date set forth in Section 3(b), rounded down to the nearest whole share, less any applicable withholding taxes. No dividend equivalents shall be accrued for the benefit of the Participant with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Date of Grant, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited the PBS RSUs. The Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to the PBS RSUs or any dividend equivalents.

3.    Termination of Employment or Service with the Company.

(a)Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Participant's employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for Cause, then all outstanding PBS RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

(b)Death or Disability. If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates due to the Participant’s death or is terminated by the Company due to the Participant’s Disability, then the Participant shall be deemed to have vested on the date of termination in the Target Amount of PBS RSUs. The vested PBS RSUs (and any associated dividend equivalents) shall be settled as soon as practicable after the date of the Participant's termination of employment or service, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the Participant's termination date occurs.

(c)Other Termination. If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than as otherwise described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 (whether due to voluntary termination, Retirement, termination by the Company without Cause, or otherwise), then all outstanding PBS RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

(d)Released PBS RSUs. Following Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary, if applicable) must provide for all Shares underlying released PBS RSUs (including those issued under this Agreement as well as Shares underlying released PBS RSUs issued under any other similar agreement, whether on account of termination or previously released in connection with the vesting terms of such similar agreement) to be liquidated or transferred to a third party broker no later than six months following the later of (i) the Participant's date of termination or (ii) the latest Settlement Date or other applicable vesting or settlement date (whether under this Agreement or a similar agreement) occurring following the Participant's termination. If the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary, as applicable) fails to liquidate or transfer the Shares prior to the end of the applicable six month period, the Company is hereby authorized and directed by the Participant either, in the Company's discretion: (i) to sell any such remaining Shares on the Participant's (or the Participant's beneficiary's) behalf on the first trading date following the end of such period on which the Company is not prohibited from selling such Shares; or (ii) to transfer such Shares to the Company's stock transfer agent for registration in the Participant's (or the Participant's beneficiary's) name. The Company will not be responsible for any gain or loss or taxes incurred with respect to the Shares underlying the released PBS RSUs in connection with such liquidation or transfer.

4.    Share Ownership. The Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to the PBS RSUs and shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the PBS RSUs, including, but not limited to, voting or dividend rights, until delivery of the applicable Shares underlying the PBS RSUs on the Settlement Date. The Company shall not be required to set aside any fund for the payment of the PBS RSUs.

5.    Miscellaneous.

3

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and settlement of the PBS RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. If the settlement of the PBS RSUs would be prohibited by law or the Company’s dealing rules, the settlement shall be delayed until the earliest date on which the settlement would not be so prohibited.

(b)Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in writing, the PBS RSUs shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(c)Tax Withholding. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Participant's employer (the Employer), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (Tax-Related Items), is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PBS RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PBS RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PBS RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PBS RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the PBS RSUs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in Shares only upon advance approval by the Committee or the Board.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to

4

have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Grant, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(d)Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(f)Clawback/Forfeiture.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material restatement of the Company's issued financial statements, the Committee shall review the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement (including, without limitation any potential wrongdoing by the Participant and whether the restatement was the result of negligence or intentional or gross misconduct) and may in its sole discretion direct the Company to (A) cancel all outstanding PBS RSUs and/or (B) recover all or a portion of any income or gain realized on the settlement of the PBS RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PBS RSUs with respect to any fiscal year in which the Company's financial results are negatively impacted by such restatement. If the Committee directs the Company to recover any such amount from the Participant, then the Participant agrees to and shall be required to repay any such amount to the Company within 30 days after the Company demands repayment. In addition, if the Company is required by law to include an additional “clawback” or “forfeiture” provision to outstanding grants, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or forfeiture provision shall also apply to this Agreement as if it had been included on the Date of Grant and the Company shall promptly notify the Participant of such additional provision.

For purposes of the preceding sentence the phrase “the Combined Group” shall mean “any member of the Combined Group or any Affiliate”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Participant from voluntarily

6

communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal or state government agency about a potential violation of a federal or state law or regulation or to participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding the Company's or an Affiliate’s past or future conduct, or engage in any activities protected under whistle blower statutes. Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Participant shall not be held criminally, or civilly, liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official, or an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting, or investigating, a violation of law. Moreover, the Participant may disclose trade secrets in a complaint, or other document, filed in a lawsuit, or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Finally, if the Participant files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company or an Affiliate for reporting a suspected violation of the law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding, if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(g)Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(h)Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant's address indicated by the Company's records, or if to the Company, at the Company's principal executive office.

(i)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(j)No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever. The rights and obligations of the Participant under the terms and conditions of the Participant's office or employment shall not be affected by this Agreement. The Participant waives all and any rights to compensation and damages in consequence of the termination of the Participant's office or employment with any member of the Combined Group or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever (whether lawfully or unlawfully) insofar as those rights arise, or may arise, from the Participant's ceasing to have rights under or the Participant's entitlement to the PBS RSUs under this Agreement as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Section 5(j) and the Participant's terms of employment, this Section will take precedence.

(k)Beneficiary. In the event of the Participant's death, any Shares that vest pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement will be issued to the legal representative of the Participant’s estate.

(l)Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and of the Participant and the beneficiaries, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.

This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted without consent of the Participant in accordance with the Plan.

(n)Governing Law; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT ANY ACTION ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS LITIGATED OR HEARD IN ANY COURT.

(The Participant should contact ownership@carnival.com if he or she would like to receive another copy of this notice.) For example, the Participant’s Personal Information may be directly or indirectly transferred to Equatex AG or any other third party stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company, and any other third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

(p)Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Participant’s country, which may affect the Participant’s ability to directly or indirectly, for his- or her- self or a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Participant’s country), or may affect the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Local insider trading laws and regulations may be the same or different from any Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to be informed of and compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should speak to the Participant’s personal advisor on this matter.

(q)Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction, and shall not constitute a part, of this Agreement.

(r)Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient, so as to allow the Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

(s)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in

THIS SHAREHOLDER EQUITY ALIGNMENT RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), shall apply to any grant of Shareholder Equity Alignment Restricted Stock Units made to executives of Carnival Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama, (the “Company”) or executives of an Affiliate, on [DATE] under the Carnival Corporation 2011 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, pursuant to which restricted stock units may be granted in respect of Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Participant restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the shareholder equity alignment restricted stock units provided for herein to the Participant subject to the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

1.    Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Grant. The Company hereby grants to select executives (each a “Participant”) as of [DATE] (the “Date of Grant”) a target number of shareholder equity alignment restricted stock units (the “SEA RSUs”) as listed in the Participant’s EquatePlus portfolio (the “Target Amount”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each SEA RSU represents the right to receive payment in respect of one Share as of the Settlement Date (as defined below), to the extent the Participant earns and is vested in such SEA RSUs as of such Settlement Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. The SEA RSUs are subject to the restrictions described herein, including forfeiture under the circumstances described in Section 3 hereof (the “Restrictions”). The Restrictions shall lapse and the SEA RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 hereof.

(b)Incorporation by Reference, Etc. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

(c)Acceptance of Agreement. Unless the Participant notifies the Company's Global Human Resources Department in writing to ownership@carnival.com within 10 days after delivery of this Agreement that the Participant does not wish to accept this Agreement, the Participant will be deemed to have accepted this Agreement and will be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

2.    Terms and Conditions of Vesting and Settlement.

(a)Performance and Service Conditions to Vesting. A specified percentage of the SEA RSUs shall vest if both (A) the Participant remains in continuous employment or continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate through the Settlement Date (defined in Section 2(b) below), except as provided in Section 3(b), and (B) the Company achieves the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A at a level equal to or above the threshold level of absolute performance, also set forth on Exhibit A (the “Performance Threshold”). Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, the Participant shall be deemed to not be in continuous employment or continuous service if the Participant's status changes from employee to non‑employee, or vice-versa. The actual number of SEA RSUs that may vest ranges from zero to six (6) times the Target Amount, based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved, in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit A, or if less, the Maximum Grant Amount set forth on Exhibit A. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), in no event shall any SEA RSUs vest unless and until (i) at least the Performance Threshold is achieved, (ii) the Committee certifies that the Performance Threshold has been met and determines the level of attainment of the Performance Goals (the “Certification”), and (iii) the Participant has remained in the continuous employment or continuous service of the Company or an Affiliate through the Settlement Date. If the foregoing vesting requirements are not met, no SEA RSUs shall vest and this grant of SEA RSUs shall be cancelled in its entirety.

(b)Settlement. The obligation to make payments and distributions with respect to SEA RSUs shall be satisfied through the issuance of one Share for each vested SEA, less applicable withholding taxes (the “settlement”), and the settlement of the SEA RSUs may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b), Earned SEA RSUs (as defined in Exhibit A) shall vest and be settled as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Cycle (as defined in Exhibit A) and Certification (the “Settlement Date”), but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which Certification occurs.

3.    Termination of Employment or Service with the Company.

(a)Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Participant's employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for Cause, then all outstanding SEA RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

(b)Death or Disability or Termination by the Company Without Cause. If the Participant's employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to the Participant's death or if the Participant's employment or service is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause or due to the Participant's Disability, then the Participant shall be deemed to have vested on the date of termination in a number of SEA RSUs equal to the product of (i) the Target Amount of SEA RSUs multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the period commencing on the Date of Grant through and

2

including the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 1,096, rounded down to the nearest whole SEA, and the remaining unvested portion of the SEA RSUs shall terminate on the date of termination of employment or service. The vested SEA RSUs shall be settled as soon as practicable after the date of the Participant's termination of employment or service, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the Participant's termination date occurs.

(c)Other Termination. If the Participant's employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than as otherwise described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 (whether due to voluntary termination, Retirement, or otherwise) then all outstanding SEA RSUs shall immediately terminate on the date of termination of employment or service.

4.    Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to the SEA RSUs and shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the SEA RSUs, including, but not limited to, voting or dividend rights, until delivery of the applicable Shares underlying the SEA RSUs on the Settlement Date. The Company shall not be required to set aside any fund for the payment of the SEA RSUs. Further, the SEA RSUs subject to this grant shall not be credited with Dividend Equivalents.

5.    Released SEA RSUs. Following the Participant's termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary, if applicable) must provide for all Shares underlying released SEA RSUs (including those issued under this Agreement as well as Shares underlying released SEA RSUs issued under any other similar agreement, whether on account of termination or previously released in connection with the vesting terms of such similar agreement) to be liquidated or transferred to a third party broker no later than six months following the later of (i) the Participant's date of termination or (ii) the latest Settlement Date or other applicable vesting or settlement date (whether under this Agreement or a similar agreement) occurring following the Participant's termination. If the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary, as applicable) fails to liquidate or transfer the Shares prior to the end of the applicable six month period, the Company is hereby authorized and directed by the Participant either, in the Company's discretion: (i) to sell any such remaining Shares on the Participant's (or the Participant's beneficiary's) behalf on the first trading date following the end of such period on which the Company is not prohibited from selling such Shares; or (ii) to transfer such Shares to the Company's stock transfer agent for registration in the Participant's (or the Participant's beneficiary's) name. The Company will not be responsible for any gain or loss or taxes incurred with respect to the Shares underlying the released SEA RSUs in connection with such liquidation or transfer.

6.    Miscellaneous.

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and settlement of the SEA RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. If the settlement of the SEA RSUs would be prohibited by law, the settlement shall be delayed until the earliest date on which the settlement would not be so prohibited.

3

(b)Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in writing, the SEA RSUs shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(c)Tax Withholding. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Participant's employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (Tax-Related Items), is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the SEA RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the SEA RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the SEA RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the SEA RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the SEA RSUs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in Shares only upon advance approval by the Committee or the Board.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Grant, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

4

Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(d)Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(i)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(ii)    the grant of the SEA RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of SEA RSUs, or benefits in lieu of SEA RSUs, even if SEA RSUs have been granted in the past;

(ix)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the SEA RSUs and the Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of the Company or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates;

(x)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the SEA RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the SEA RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another

(e)No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the Participant's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.

If the Committee directs the Company to recover any such amount from the Participant, then the Participant agrees to and shall be required to repay any such amount to the Company within 30 days after the Company demands repayment. In addition, if the Company is required by law to include an additional “clawback” or “forfeiture” provision to outstanding grants, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or forfeiture provision shall also apply to this Agreement as if it had been included on the Date of Grant and the Company shall promptly notify the Participant of such additional provision. In addition, if a Participant has engaged or is engaged in Detrimental Activity after the Participant's employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries has ceased, then the Participant, within 30 days after written demand by the Company, shall return any income or gain realized on the settlement of the SEA RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the SEA RSUs.

maligning, denigrating or disparaging the Combined Group or their respective predecessors and successors, or any of the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publishing (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned persons or entities in an unfavorable light, or (iv) the breach of any noncompetition, nonsolicitation or other agreement containing restrictive covenants, with the Combined Group. For purposes of the preceding sentence the phrase “the Combined Group” shall mean “any member of the Combined Group or any Affiliate”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Participant from voluntarily communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal or state government agency about a potential violation of a federal or state law or regulation or to participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding the Company's or an Affiliate’s past or future conduct, or engage in any activities protected under whistle blower statutes. Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Participant shall not be held criminally, or civilly, liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official, or an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting, or investigating, a violation of law. Moreover, the Participant may disclose trade secrets in a complaint, or other document, filed in a lawsuit, or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Finally, if the Participant files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company or an Affiliate for reporting a suspected violation of the law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding, if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(g)Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(h)Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant's address indicated by the Company's records, or if to the Company, at the Company's principal executive office.

(i)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(j)No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever. The rights and obligations of the Participant under the terms and conditions of the Participant's office or

7

employment shall not be affected by this Agreement. The Participant waives all and any rights to compensation and damages in consequence of the termination of the Participant's office or employment with any member of the Combined Group or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever (whether lawfully or unlawfully) insofar as those rights arise, or may arise, from the Participant's ceasing to have rights under or the Participant's entitlement to the SEA RSUs under this Agreement as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Section 6(j) and the Participant's terms of employment, this Section will take precedence.

(k)Beneficiary. In the event of the Participant's death, any Shares that vest pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement will be issued to the legal representative of the Participant’s estate.

(l)Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and of the Participant and the beneficiaries, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.

(m)Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted without consent of the Participant in accordance with the Plan.

(n)Governing Law; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT ANY ACTION ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS LITIGATED OR HEARD IN ANY COURT.

(o)Data Protection. The Employer, the Company and any Affiliate may collect, use, process, transfer or disclose the Participant's Personal Information for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan, in accordance with the Carnival Corporation & plc Equity Plans Participant Privacy Notice the Participant previously received. (The Participant should contact ownership@carnival.com if he or she would like to receive another copy of this notice.) For example, the Participant's Personal Information may be directly or indirectly transferred to Equatex AG or any other third party stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company, and any other third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

(p)Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Participant’s country, which may affect the Participant’s ability to directly or indirectly, for his- or her- self or a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws and regulations in the applicable

8

jurisdiction, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Participant’s country), or may affect the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Local insider trading laws and regulations may be the same or different from any Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to be informed of and compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should speak to the Participant’s personal advisor on this matter.

(q)Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction, and shall not constitute a part, of this Agreement.

(r)Language. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

(s)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

7.    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the end of the Performance Cycle but prior to the vesting or settlement of the SEA RSUs, the level of attainment of the Performance Goals and the number of Earned SEA RSUs (if any) will be determined and certified by the Committee in the manner set forth on Exhibit A. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Cycle, the Performance Cycle will end on the Accelerated End Date set forth on Exhibit A and the level of attainment of the Performance Goals and the number of Earned SEA RSUs (if any) will be determined and certified by the Committee in the manner set forth on Exhibit A. Any such Earned SEA RSUs will vest and be settled in accordance with Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

8.    Country-Specific Provisions. The SEA RSUs shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendix I to this Agreement for the Participant's country, if any. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix I, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

9.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the SEA RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

APPENDIX I

Country Specific Information

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix I includes additional terms and conditions that govern the SEA RSUs granted to the Participant if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed herein. This Appendix I forms part of the Agreement. These terms and conditions are in addition to, or if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions in the Agreement.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Date of Grant, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant under these circumstances.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix I also includes information regarding exchange controls, securities laws and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant's participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities laws and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of December 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant's participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in the SEA RSUs or when the Participant sells the Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant's country may apply to the Participant's situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner to the Participant.

Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Appendix I but defined in the Agreement or Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

arising from the sale of Shares) derived from the Participant's participation in the Plan, to and/or from a brokerage/bank account or legal entity located outside the Participant's country. The applicable laws of the Participant's country may require that the Participant report such accounts, assets, the balances therein, the value thereof and/or the transactions related thereto to the applicable authorities in such country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan to the Participant's country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan to the Participant's country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Participant's acquisition of Shares under the Plan leads to a so-called qualified participation at any point during the calendar year, the Participant will need to report the acquisition when the Participant files the Participant's tax return for the relevant year. A qualified participation is attained if (i) the value of the Shares acquired exceeds EUR 150,000 or (ii) in the unlikely event the Participant holds Shares exceeding 10% of the of the Company’s Common Stock.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Participant is an Italian resident and hold investments or financial assets outside Italy (e.g., cash, SEA RSUs, Shares) during any fiscal year which may generate income taxable in Italy (or if the Participant is the beneficial owner of such an investment or asset even if the Participant does not directly hold the investment or asset), the Participant is required to report such investments or assets on the Participant's annual tax return for such fiscal year (on UNICO Form, RW Schedule, or on a special form if the Participant is not required to file a tax return).

UNITED KINGDOM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tax Withholding. The following provisions supplement the Tax Withholding provisions in the Agreement.

The Participant agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or any Affiliate or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and any Affiliate against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Participant’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant understands that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant, in case the indemnification could be considered a loan. In this case, the income tax not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. The Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any employee National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Participant by any of the means referred to in this Agreement.

In addition, the Participant agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may calculate the income tax to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right the Participant may have to recover any overpayment from HMRC or any applicable tax authority.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

General

General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc and their respective subsidiaries. Together with their consolidated subsidiaries, they are referred to collectively in these consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this joint Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “Carnival Corporation & plc,” “our,” “us” and “we.”

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet at February 28, 2019 are unaudited and, in the opinion of our management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Carnival Corporation & plc 2018 joint Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2019. Our operations are seasonal and results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method to all contracts as of the adoption date. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC 605.

The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements primarily relates to the gross presentation of prepaid travel agent commissions (Consolidated Balance Sheet), shore excursions and other onboard revenues and costs (Consolidated Statement of Income) which were historically presented net. As of December 1, 2018, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $24 million to retained earnings related to the accounting for our loyalty programs.

The following table summarizes the impacts of ASC 606 adoption on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended February 28, 2019:

The FASB issued amended guidance, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business,which assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are aimed at reducing the existing diversity in practice. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the retrospective method for each period presented. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the retrospective method for each period presented. As a result, we now present restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The reclassified restricted cash balances from investing activities to changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was not material for the period presented.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Service Concession Arrangements, which clarifies that the grantor in a service arrangement should be considered the customer of the operating entity in all cases. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Derivatives and Hedging, which targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities such as hedging strategies, effectiveness assessments, and recognition of derivative gains or losses. On December 1, 2018, we early adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. At the time of adoption, we changed the method by which we assess effectiveness for outstanding net investment hedges from the forward method to the spot method. Under the spot method, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to hedge effectiveness remains in AOCI until the net investment is sold or liquidated, while the impact attributable to components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, on a systematic and rational basis. Previous gains or losses incurred under the forward method related to net investment hedges will remain in AOCI within the foreign currency translation adjustments component and will be reclassified to earnings when the net investment is sold or liquidated. As required by this guidance, we have also added certain disclosures about hedging activities and their effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2020 and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach which allows entities to either apply the new lease standard to the beginning of the earliest period presented or only to the current period consolidated financial statements. The initial adoption of this guidance is expected to increase both our total assets and total liabilities, reflecting the lease rights and obligations arising from our lease arrangements, and will require additional disclosures. We are evaluating certain contractual arrangements to determine if they contain an implicit right to use an asset that would qualify as a leasing arrangement under the new guidance.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The expense related to deferred implementation costs is required to be presented in the same income statement line item as the related hosting fees. Additionally, the payments for deferred implementation costs are required to be presented in the same line item in the statement of cash flows as payments for the related hosting fees. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2021 and must be applied using either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

3 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Guest cruise deposits represent unearned revenues, and are initially included in customer deposit liabilities when received. Customer deposits are subsequently recognized as cruise revenues, together with revenues from onboard and other activities, and all associated direct costs and expenses of a voyage are recognized as cruise costs and expenses, upon completion of voyages, with durations of ten nights or less and on a pro rata basis for voyages in excess of ten nights. The impact of recognizing these shorter duration cruise revenues and costs and expenses on a completed voyage basis versus on a pro rata basis is not significant. Certain of our product offerings are bundled and we allocate the value of the bundled services and goods between passenger ticket revenues, onboard and other revenues and tour and other revenues based upon the estimated standalone selling prices of those goods and services.

Future travel discount vouchers are included as a reduction of cruise passenger ticket revenues when such vouchers are utilized. Guest cancellation fees are recognized in cruise passenger ticket revenues at the time of cancellation.

Our sale to guests of air and other transportation to and from airports near the home ports of our ships are included in cruise passenger ticket revenues, and the related cost of purchasing these services are included in cruise transportation costs. The proceeds that we collect from the sales of third-party shore excursions are included in onboard and other revenues and the related costs are included in onboard and other costs. The amounts collected on behalf of our onboard concessionaires, net of the amounts remitted to them, are included in onboard and other cruise revenues as concession revenues. All of these amounts are recognized on a completed voyage or pro rata basis as discussed above.

Cruise passenger ticket revenues include fees, taxes and charges collected by us from our guests. A portion of these fees, taxes and charges vary with guest head counts and are directly imposed on a revenue-producing arrangement. This portion of the fees, taxes and charges is expensed in commissions, transportation and other costs when the corresponding revenues are recognized. For the three months ended February 28, the fees, taxes and charges included in passenger ticket revenues and commissions, transportation and other costs were $163 million in 2019 and $148 million in 2018. The remaining portion of fees, taxes and charges are also included in cruise passenger ticket revenues and are expensed in other ship operating expenses when the corresponding revenues are recognized.

Revenues and expenses from our hotel and transportation operations, which are included in our Tour and Other segment, are recognized at the time the services are performed or expenses are incurred. Revenues from the long-term leasing of ships, which are also included in our Tour and Other segment, are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Customer Deposits

Our payment terms generally require an initial deposit to confirm a reservation, and the balance is received prior to the voyage. Cash received from guests in advance of the cruise is recorded in customer deposits and in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts include refundable deposits. We had customer deposits of $4.9 billion and $4.7 billion as of February 28, 2019 and December 1, 2018. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we recognized revenues of $3.0 billion related to our customer deposits as of December 1, 2018. Our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, the recognition of revenue and foreign currency translation.

Contract Receivables

Although we generally require full payment from our customers prior to or concurrently with their cruise, we grant credit terms to a relatively small portion of our revenue source. We also have receivables from credit card merchants for cruise ticket purchases and onboard revenue. These receivables are included within trade and other receivables, net.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are amounts paid prior to the start of a voyage, which we record as an asset within prepaid expenses and otherand are subsequently recognized as commissions, transportation, and other at the time of revenue recognition. We have contract assets of $142 million and $151 million as of February 28, 2019 and December 1, 2018.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Unsecured Debt

Unsecured Debt

At February 28, 2019, our short-term borrowings consisted of euro-denominated commercial paper of $768 million. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, there were no borrowings or repayments of commercial paper with original maturities greater than three months. For the three months ended February 28, 2018, we had borrowings of $2 million and repayments of $0 million of commercial paper with original maturities greater than three months.

In December 2018, we borrowed $852 million under an export credit facility due in semi-annual installments through 2031.

In February 2019, we borrowed $587 million under a euro-denominated export credit facility due in semi-annual installments through 2031. We also entered into an $899 million export credit facility, which may be drawn in euro or U.S. dollars in 2023 and will be due in semi-annual installments through 2035. The interest rate on this export credit facility can be fixed or floating, at our discretion.

Contingencies

Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of our business, various claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. Most of these claims and lawsuits, or any settlement of claims and lawsuits, are covered by insurance and the maximum amount of our liability, net of any insurance recoverables, is typically limited to our self-insurance retention levels. We believe the ultimate outcome of these claims, lawsuits, and settlements, as applicable, each and in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Contingent Obligations – Indemnifications

Some of the debt contracts we enter into include indemnification provisions obligating us to make payments to the counterparty if certain events occur. These contingencies generally relate to changes in taxes or changes in laws which increase our lender’s costs. There are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses, and we are not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification clauses.

Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks

Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories:

• Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

• Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, certain estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

(a) Long-term other assets are comprised of notes receivable. The fair values of our Level 2 notes receivable were based on estimated future cash flows discounted at appropriate market interest rates. The fair values of our Level 3 notes receivable were estimated using risk-adjusted discount rates.

(b) The debt amounts above do not include the impact of interest rate swaps or debt issuance costs. The fair values of our publicly-traded notes were based on their unadjusted quoted market prices in markets that are not sufficiently active to be Level 1 and, accordingly, are considered Level 2. The fair values of our other debt were estimated based on current market interest rates being applied to this debt.

(a) At February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018, we had cross currency swaps totaling $1.0 billion and $156 million, respectively, that are designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations with a euro-denominated functional currency. At February 28, 2019, these cross currency swaps settle through December 2030.

(b) We have interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges whereby we receive floating interest rate payments in exchange for making fixed interest rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $373 million at February 28, 2019 and $385 million at November 30, 2018 of EURIBOR-based floating rate euro debt to fixed rate euro debt. At February 28, 2019, these interest rate swaps settle through March 2025.

Our derivative contracts include rights of offset with our counterparties. We have elected to net certain of our derivative assets and liabilities within counterparties.

Financial Risks

Fuel Price Risks

We manage our exposure to fuel price risk by managing our consumption of fuel. Substantially all of our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates to the consumption of fuel on our ships. We manage fuel consumption through ship maintenance practices, modifying our itineraries and implementing innovative technologies. We are also adding new, more fuel efficient ships to our fleet and are strategically disposing of smaller, less fuel efficient ships.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through our normal operating and financing activities, including netting certain exposures to take advantage of any natural offsets and, when considered appropriate, through the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. Our primary focus is to monitor our exposure to, and manage, the economic foreign currency exchange risks faced by our operations and realized if we exchange one currency for another. We currently only hedge certain of our ship commitments and net investments in foreign operations. The financial impacts of the hedging instruments we do employ generally offset the changes in the underlying exposures being hedged.

Operational Currency Risks

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, euro or sterling as their functional currencies. Our operations also have revenue and expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our financial statements.

Investment Currency Risks

We consider our investments in foreign operations to be denominated in stable currencies. Our investments in foreign operations are of a long-term nature. At February 28, 2019, we had $7.3 billionand $876 millionof euro- and sterling-denominated debt, respectively, including the effect of cross currency swaps, which provide an economic offset for our operations with euro and sterling functional currency. We also partially mitigate our net investment currency exposures by denominating a portion of our foreign currency intercompany payables in our foreign operations’ functional currencies. 

Newbuild Currency Risks

Our shipbuilding contracts are typically denominated in euros. Our decision to hedge a non-functional currency ship commitment for our cruise brands is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the amount and duration of the exposure, market volatility, economic trends, our overall expected net cash flows by currency and other offsetting risks. We use foreign currency derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk for some of our ship construction payments. At February 28, 2019, for the following newbuild, we had foreign currency zero cost collars for a portion of our euro-denominated shipyard payments. These collars are designated as cash flow hedges.

	Entered Into	Matures in	Weighted-Average Floor Rate		Weighted- Average Ceiling Rate
Carnival Panorama	2019	October 2019	$	1.05	$	1.28

If the spot rate is between the ceiling and floor rates on the date of maturity, then we would not owe or receive any payments under these collars.

At February 28, 2019, our remaining newbuild currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to euro-denominated newbuild contract payments to non-euro functional currency brands, which represent a total unhedged commitment of $9.3 billion for newbuilds scheduled to be delivered from 2019 through 2025.

The cost of shipbuilding orders that we may place in the future that is denominated in a different currency than our cruise brands’ will be affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may affect our decision to order new cruise ships.

Interest Rate Risks

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through our debt portfolio management and investment strategies. We evaluate our debt portfolio to determine whether to make periodic adjustments to the mix of fixed and floating rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps, issuance of new debt, amendment of existing debt or early retirement of existing debt.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor concentrations of credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we conduct significant business. We seek to minimize these credit risk exposures, including counterparty nonperformance primarily associated with our cash equivalents, investments, committed financing facilities, contingent obligations, derivative instruments, insurance contracts and new ship progress payment guarantees, by:

• Conducting business with large, well-established financial institutions, insurance companies and export credit agencies

• Diversifying our counterparties 

• Having guidelines regarding credit ratings and investment maturities that we follow to help safeguard liquidity and minimize risk

• Generally requiring collateral and/or guarantees to support notes receivable on significant asset sales, long-term ship charters and new ship progress payments to shipyards 

We believe the risk of nonperformance by any of our significant counterparties is remote. At February 28, 2019, our exposures under foreign currency contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swap agreements were not material. We also monitor the creditworthiness of travel agencies and tour operators in Asia, Australia and Europe, which includes charter-hire agreements in Asia and credit and debit card providers to which we extend credit in the normal course of our business. Our credit exposure also includes contingent obligations related to cash payments received directly by travel agents and tour operators for cash collected by them on cruise sales in Australia and most of Europe where we are obligated to honor our guests’ cruise payments made by them to their travel agents and tour operators regardless of whether we have received these payments. Concentrations of credit risk associated with these trade receivables, charter-hire agreements and contingent obligations are not considered to be material, principally due to the large number of unrelated accounts, the nature of these contingent obligations and their short maturities. We have not experienced significant credit losses on our trade receivables, charter-hire agreements and contingent obligations. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet at February 28, 2019 are unaudited and, in the opinion of our management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Carnival Corporation & plc 2018 joint Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2019. Our operations are seasonal and results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method to all contracts as of the adoption date. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC 605.

The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements primarily relates to the gross presentation of prepaid travel agent commissions (Consolidated Balance Sheet), shore excursions and other onboard revenues and costs (Consolidated Statement of Income) which were historically presented net. As of December 1, 2018, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $24 million to retained earnings related to the accounting for our loyalty programs.

The following table summarizes the impacts of ASC 606 adoption on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended February 28, 2019:

The FASB issued amended guidance, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business,which assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are aimed at reducing the existing diversity in practice. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the retrospective method for each period presented. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the retrospective method for each period presented. As a result, we now present restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The reclassified restricted cash balances from investing activities to changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was not material for the period presented.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Service Concession Arrangements, which clarifies that the grantor in a service arrangement should be considered the customer of the operating entity in all cases. On December 1, 2018, we adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Derivatives and Hedging, which targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities such as hedging strategies, effectiveness assessments, and recognition of derivative gains or losses. On December 1, 2018, we early adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. At the time of adoption, we changed the method by which we assess effectiveness for outstanding net investment hedges from the forward method to the spot method. Under the spot method, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to hedge effectiveness remains in AOCI until the net investment is sold or liquidated, while the impact attributable to components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, on a systematic and rational basis. Previous gains or losses incurred under the forward method related to net investment hedges will remain in AOCI within the foreign currency translation adjustments component and will be reclassified to earnings when the net investment is sold or liquidated. As required by this guidance, we have also added certain disclosures about hedging activities and their effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued guidance, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2020 and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach which allows entities to either apply the new lease standard to the beginning of the earliest period presented or only to the current period consolidated financial statements. The initial adoption of this guidance is expected to increase both our total assets and total liabilities, reflecting the lease rights and obligations arising from our lease arrangements, and will require additional disclosures. We are evaluating certain contractual arrangements to determine if they contain an implicit right to use an asset that would qualify as a leasing arrangement under the new guidance.

The FASB issued amended guidance, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The expense related to deferred implementation costs is required to be presented in the same income statement line item as the related hosting fees. Additionally, the payments for deferred implementation costs are required to be presented in the same line item in the statement of cash flows as payments for the related hosting fees. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2021 and must be applied using either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

The fair values of our Level 3 notes receivable were estimated using risk-adjusted discount rates.

(b) The debt amounts above do not include the impact of interest rate swaps or debt issuance costs. The fair values of our publicly-traded notes were based on their unadjusted quoted market prices in markets that are not sufficiently active to be Level 1 and, accordingly, are considered Level 2. The fair values of our other debt were estimated based on current market interest rates being applied to this debt.
