PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD APRIL 17, 1995
------------------

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Carnival Corporation (the "Company") from
holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Class A Common Stock"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be
held on April 17, 1995, and any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth
in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and described in detail herein. The first
mailing of the proxy material to the holders of Class A Common Stock is expected
to be made on March 15, 1995.

All properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the
instructions contained thereon, and if no choice is specified, the proxies will
be voted for the election of the four directors named elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement as nominees of the Class A Common Stock and in favor of each other
proposal set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting. Abstentions and "non-votes"
are counted as present in determining the existence of a quorum. Abstentions and
"non-votes" will not have the effect of votes in opposition to a director or
"no" votes on proposals 2, 3, and 4. A "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding
shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on
another proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power
and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. All outstanding
shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Class B Common Stock"), are beneficially owned by The Micky Arison 1994 "B"
Trust, a United States trust whose primary beneficiary is Micky Arison (the "B
Trust") and, therefore, the Company is not soliciting proxies in respect of the
Class B Common Stock.

Any proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time before it is
exercised by giving written notice to that effect to the Secretary of the
Company or by signing a later-dated proxy. Shareholders who attend the Annual
Meeting may revoke any proxy previously granted and vote in person.

The Board of Directors has fixed February 28, 1995 as the record date for
determining the shareholders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting. At the close of business on January 31, 1995, the Company had
outstanding 227,655,157 shares of Class A Common Stock, and 54,957,142 shares of
Class B Common Stock. Holders of such shares are entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting in the manner described in the next section.

On December 14, 1994, a two-for-one stock split was effected whereby one
additional share of Class A and Class B Common Stock was issued for each such
share outstanding to shareholders of record on November 30, 1994. All share data
appearing in this Proxy Statement has been adjusted for the stock split.

VOTING

Holders of record of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at the
close of business on February 28, 1995, are entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting as follows:

1. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect four of the
thirteen directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. In electing these
directors, such holders are entitled to one vote for each share held. Ted
Arison, the founder of the Company, certain members of the Arison family
and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Arison's children (collectively, the
"Principal Class A Shareholders"), beneficially own shares representing
approximately 56% of the voting power of the Class A Common Stock and have
informed the Company that they intend to cause all such shares to be voted
in favor of the four nominees named elsewhere in this Proxy Statement,
thereby ensuring their election. See "Certain Beneficial Owners" below.

2. Holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect nine
directors at the Annual Meeting. In electing these directors, such holders
are entitled to one vote for each share held. The B Trust beneficially owns
all of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock. Micky Arison,
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has the sole right
to vote and direct the sale of the Class B Common Stock held by the B
Trust, subject, during Ted Arison's lifetime, to the consent of the trustee
of the B Trust. Micky Arison, with the consent of the trustee of the B
Trust, has informed the Company that he intends to cause all such shares to
be voted in favor of the nine nominees named elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement, thereby ensuring their election. See "Certain Beneficial Owners"
below.

3. On all other matters to come before the Annual Meeting, holders of
Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and
holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to five votes for each share
held. The Principal Class A Shareholders and the B Trust (collectively, the
"Principal Shareholders") beneficially own shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the "Common Stock") such that they
control 80.1% of the aggregate voting power of all shares entitled to vote
and will be able to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to vote
of the shareholders. The Principal Shareholders have informed the Company
that they intend to cause such shares to be voted in favor of Proposals
(2), (3), and (4) listed in the accompanying Notice of Meeting, thereby
ensuring the adoption thereof.

CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

Set forth below is information concerning the share ownership of all
persons known by the Company to be the beneficial owners of 5% or more of the
227,655,157 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 54,957,142 shares of Class B
Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 1995, each executive officer of the
Company named in the Summary Compensation Table which appears elsewhere in this
Proxy Statement, each director of the Company and all directors and executive
officers as a group. See footnotes (2) and (3) below for a description of the

(2) Ted Arison, Micky Arison and the other Arison family entities named that
own shares of Class A Common Stock have filed a joint statement on Schedule

The instruments governing the following trusts provide Ted Arison and Micky

Holding Trust No. 2, the Ted Arison 1992 Irrevocable Trust for Micky, the
Ted Arison 1992 Irrevocable Trust for Shari, the Ted Arison 1992
Irrevocable Trust for Lin No. 2 and the Ted Arison 1994 Cash Trust. Because
of such voting and dispositive rights, Ted Arison may be deemed to

23,200,000 of such shares. However, both Ted Arison and Micky Arison

TAMMS which corresponds to their respective partnership interest in TAMMS.
Such amounts are included in the number of shares set forth

next to their names in the table above. Because of his controlling interest
in TAMMS (through TAMMS Corp.), Ted Arison may be deemed to beneficially
own all of the 2,332,458 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by TAMMS;
however, Ted Arison disclaims beneficial ownership of 1,810,364 of such
shares, which are beneficially owned by the other partners of TAMMS, except
those owned by the TAMMS Corp. Because of his position as President of
TAMMS Corp., Micky Arison may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,332,458
shares of Class A Common Stock owned by TAMMS; however, Micky Arison
disclaims beneficial ownership of all of such shares which are beneficially
owned by the other limited partners of TAMMS or by TAMMS Corp.
(3) In September 1994, the B Trust acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Class B Common Stock from Ted Arison and TAMMS in a series of related
transactions. Under the terms of the instrument governing the B Trust,
Micky Arison has the sole right to vote and direct the sale of the Class B
Common Stock held by the B Trust, subject during Ted Arison's lifetime to
the consent of the trustee of the B Trust. The trustee of the B Trust is a

by TAMMS (see Note 2 above) all of which may be deemed to be beneficially
owned by Ted Arison. However, Ted Arison disclaims beneficial ownership of
all such shares.
(6) Shari Arison, Ted Arison's daughter, is President of the Arison Foundation,
Inc. (the "Foundation"). The Foundation is directed by six trustees, a

SECTION 16(a) REPORTING DELINQUENCIES

Based upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to
the Company during and with respect to its most recent fiscal year and upon
written representations from persons known to the Company to be subject to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") (a "reporting person") that no Form 5 is required to be filed for such
reporting person, the following persons failed to file, on a timely basis,
reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year
ended November 30, 1994: Gerald R. Cahill, Vice President -- Finance, filed one
late report.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, the Board of Directors held
a total of four meetings. The Board of Directors has established standing
Executive, Audit, Nominating, Compensation and Plan Administration Committees.
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, a quorum of directors was
present at each meeting of the Board and of the Committees. During the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1994, except for Modesto A. Maidique, no incumbent
director was present in person or by proxy at fewer than 75% of the aggregate of
the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held
by all Committees on which he served.

The Executive Committee was established for the purpose of acting in the
stead of the entire Board of Directors during the periods between regular Board
meetings. The Board has delegated to the Executive Committee the power to act in
lieu of and with the powers and privileges granted to the Board, other than the
power to declare dividends or issue shares of capital stock of the Company.

election directors to be elected by the Company's shareholders. Although the
Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders, the
Nominating Committee does not have a specific procedure for the

9
12

consideration of nominees recommended by shareholders. One meeting of the
Nominating Committee was held during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994.

The Compensation Committee was established for the purpose of making
recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding compensation for independent
directors and for senior management. Three meetings of the Compensation
Committee were held during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994.

The Plan Administration Committee was established to administer The 1992
Stock Option Plan, The 1993 Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, The 1993 Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. Restricted Stock Plan, The 1993
Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan and The 1994 Carnival Cruise Lines Key
Management Incentive Plan. One meeting of the Plan Administration Committee was
held during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994.

AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors has proposed an amendment (the "Amendment") to the
Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") to
permit the Company to sell less than all or less than substantially all of the
assets of the Company without shareholder approval. The text of Clause Seven of
the Articles as proposed to be amended is as follows:

"7. Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consist of no
less than three nor more than fifteen members. Within said minimum and
maximum, the number shall be set forth by resolution of the shareholders or
by resolution of the Board of Directors. The meetings of the Board of
Directors may take place in the Republic of Panama or in any other country,
and any Director may be represented and vote by proxy or proxies at any and
all Director's meetings. The Board of Directors shall have absolute control
and full direction over the corporation's affairs, being it understood that
the Board of Directors shall be empowered to contract loans or financing in
general, to issue guarantees in respect of its properties, subsidiaries,
its obligations and those of third parties, to mortgage its properties and
assets, and to sell less than all or less than substantially all of the
assets of the Company without shareholder approval.

Although the Company and its Panamanian counsel, Tapia, Linares y Alfaro,
believe that the Company has the authority to sell less than all or less than
substantially all of its assets without shareholder approval under the current
Articles and Panamanian law, the Company and its Panamanian counsel believe that
it is prudent to clarify a potential ambiguity under the Panamanian law.
Accordingly, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders to adopt the Amendment.

Adoption of the Amendment requires the approval of the majority of the
votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ADOPTION OF
THE AMENDMENT BY THE SHAREHOLDERS.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CARNIVAL CRUISE
LINES 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Company adopted on January 20, 1992, the
Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"). The Board
of Directors recommended that the 1992 Plan be submitted for approval by the
shareholders of the Company to qualify the options granted under the 1992 Plan
as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). In addition, such shareholder approval was
obtained to meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange
Act to exempt grants of options under the 1992 Plan from the liability
provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Proposed Amendments

The Plan Administration Committee has approved, subject to the approval of
the stockholders of the Company, amendments (the "Amendments") to the 1992 Plan
(i) to increase the maximum number of shares that may be made subject to options
under the 1992 Plan from 1,500,000 to 4,000,000, (ii) to provide that the
maximum number of shares with respect to which options may be granted thereunder
to any individual in any calendar year during the term of the 1992 Plan cannot
exceed 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (iii) to modify the class of
persons who may serve on the Plan Administration Committee.

Since less than 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were available under
the 1992 Plan as of January 31, 1995, the increase in the maximum number of
shares that may be made subject to options is necessary to permit continuation
of the 1992 Stock Option Plan and to accommodate the likely future issuance of
options to acquire 1,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to two executive
officers of the Company. The 1992 Plan as previously approved by stockholders
does not limit the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which options may be granted to any individual during the term of the plan. The
proposed amendment to limit the number of shares that may be granted to any
individual is intended to attempt to qualify the compensation attributable to
stock option grants under the 1992 Plan for an exclusion from the deduction
limitation of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Similarly, the Plan
is being amended to provide that it is intended that persons who serve on the
Plan Administration Committee will be "outside directors" within the meaning of
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) to the extent necessary to comply with such
Section and to clarify that the failure of any member to qualify as an "outside
director" or a "disinterested person" will not affect the validity of an award
granted under the Plan. In addition, in order to attempt to qualify the amended
1992 Plan for this exclusion, the Company is disclosing the material terms of
the 1992 Plan to stockholders and seeking their approval. See "Tax Effects of
Plan Participation" below.

The principal provisions of the 1992 Plan are summarized below. This
summary, however, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by the terms of the amended and restated 1992 Plan. All defined terms
used below have the meaning set forth in the 1992 Plan, unless otherwise
indicated.

Description of the 1992 Plan

The purpose of the 1992 Plan is to create an employment incentive by
providing an opportunity to selected employees who are important to the success
and growth of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries to own shares of
Class A Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that
may currently be made subject to options granted under the 1992 Plan is
1,500,000. The 1992 Plan provides that options may be granted to key employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries, including officers and directors,
regardless of whether such employees otherwise hold or have held options or
similar awards under the 1992 Plan or under any other plan. Although
approximately 15,000 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible
to participate in the 1992 Plan, options historically have been granted solely
to management level employees. As of January 31, 1995, 1,102,400 options had
been granted under the 1992 Plan.

11
14

The 1992 Plan is administered by the Plan Administration Committee which is
comprised solely of two or more members of the Board of Directors of the
Company, each of whom, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code, is intended to be a "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule
16b-3 and an "outside director" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code
Section 162(m). The Committee is currently comprised of two outside members of
the Board of Directors of the Company, Messrs. Sherwood Weiser and Uzi Zucker
(the "Committee"). The Committee may issue incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code ("Incentive Options"), or options that do
not qualify as Incentive Options ("Nonqualified Options"). In addition, the
Committee has the discretion to determine the employees to whom options are to
be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option and the option
price. Nonqualified Options may be issued at any option price determined by the
Committee. The option price for Incentive Options is to be no less than the
"fair market value" of the Class A Common Stock, which shall be the average of
the high and low sales prices of a share of Class A Common Stock on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the date the option is granted. The "fair
market value" of the Class A Common Stock on January 31, 1995, was $21 per
share. Options become exercisable as provided by the Committee, but options also
become exercisable in full upon the death or disability of the employee and
shall become null and void upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including:
(a) the expiration of 10 years after the date of grant; (b) the expiration of
one year after termination of employment by death or disability; (c) immediately
upon termination for cause; or (d) the expiration of three months after
termination for reasons other than death, disability, or cause.

Options granted under the 1992 Plan may be exercised upon (a) delivery by
the optionee of written notice of exercise, (b) tender of full payment in cash,
by check or money order or, with the Committee's consent, Class A Common Stock
and (c) compliance with such other conditions as the Committee may establish.
The 1992 Plan makes no provision for the payment of consideration upon the
granting or extension of options thereunder.

The 1992 Plan provides that it will terminate, unless earlier terminated as
provided therein, on January 20, 2002. The 1992 Plan provides that it may be
amended or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of the Company;
provided that any such amendments shall be in compliance with applicable laws,
applicable stock exchange listing requirements and applicable requirements for
exemption (to the extent necessary) under Rule 16b-3. In addition, no such
amendments or termination without the consent of an optionee may adversely
affect the rights of the optionee with respect to their options.

Tax Effects of Plan Participation

The following summary generally describes the principal federal (and not
state and local) income tax consequences of options granted under the 1992 Plan.
It is general in nature and is not intended to cover all tax consequences that
may apply to a particular employee or to the Company. The provisions of the Code
and the regulations thereunder relating to these matters ("Treasury
Regulations") are complicated and their impact in any one case may depend upon
the particular circumstances. Each holder of an option under the 1992 Plan
should consult his or her own accountant, legal counsel or other financial
advisor regarding the tax consequences of participation in the 1992 Plan. This
discussion is based on the Code as currently in effect.

If an option is granted to an employee in accordance with the terms of the
1992 Plan, no income will be recognized by such employee at the time the option
is granted. Different rules may apply in the event that the exercise price of
the option is substantially lower than the fair market value of the shares of
the Class A Common Stock at the time that the option is granted.

Generally, on exercise of a nonqualified option, the amount by which the
fair market value of the shares of the Class A Common Stock on the date of
exercise exceeds the purchase price of such shares will be taxable to the
employee as ordinary income. The disposition of shares acquired upon exercise of
a nonqualified option under the 1992 Plan will ordinarily result in long-term or
short-term capital gain or loss (depending on the applicable holding period) in
an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on such
disposition and the sum of the purchase price and the amount of ordinary income
recognized in connection with the exercise of the nonqualified option.

12
15

Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act generally prohibits executive officers,
directors and 10-percent shareholders of the Company from both buying and
selling the Company's Class A Common Stock within a six month period. In the
case of employees who are subject to these rules, generally, unless the employee
elects otherwise, the relevant date for measuring the amount of ordinary income
to be recognized upon the exercise of the nonqualified option will be the later
of (i) the date the six-month period following the date of grant lapses and (ii)
the date of exercise of the nonqualified option.

Generally, on exercise of an incentive option, an employee will not
recognize any income and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will be
entitled to a deduction for tax purposes. However, the difference between the
purchase price and the fair market value of the shares of Class A Common Stock
received on the date of exercise will be treated as a positive adjustment in
determining alternative minimum taxable income and the employee may be subject
to the alternative minimum tax. The disposition of shares acquired upon exercise
of an incentive option under the 1992 Plan will ordinarily result in long-term
or short-term capital gain or loss (depending on the applicable holding period).
Generally, however, if the employee disposes of shares of Class A Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of an incentive option within two years after the date of
grant or within one year after the date of exercise (as "disqualifying
disposition"), the employee will recognize ordinary income in the amount of the
excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the
purchase price (or, in certain circumstances, the gain on sale, if less). Any
excess of the amount realized by the holder on the disqualifying disposition
over the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the
incentive option will ordinarily constitute capital gain. In the case of an
employee subject to the Section 16(b) restrictions discussed above, the relevant
date in measuring the employee's ordinary income will normally be the later of
(i) the date of the six-month period after the date of grant lapses or (ii) the
date of exercise of the incentive option.

If an option is exercised through the use of Class A Common Stock
previously owned by the employee, such exercise (i) will generally have the same
tax consequences as if the option had been exercised with cash and (ii)
generally will not be considered a taxable disposition of the previously owned
shares and, thus, no gain or loss will be recognized with respect to such shares
upon such exercise. Upon such exercise shares received by the Optionee, equal in
number to the previously surrendered shares, will have the same tax basis as the
shares surrendered to the Company and will have a holding period that includes
the holding period of the shares surrendered. However, if the previously owned
shares were acquired on the exercise of an incentive option or other
tax-qualified stock option and the holding period requirement for those shares
was not satisfied at the time they were used to exercise an incentive option,
such use would constitute a disqualifying disposition of such previously owned
shares resulting in the recognition of ordinary income (but, under proposed
Treasury Regulations, not any additional capital gain) in the amount described
above. If any otherwise qualifying incentive option becomes first exercisable in
any one year for shares having a value in excess of $100,000 (grant date value),
the portion of the option in respect of such excess shares will be treated as a
nonqualified option.

The traditional tax advantages of incentive options have been eroded by
amendments to the tax law reducing the tax rate differential between capital
gains and ordinary income. Nonetheless, incentive options retain the potential
for tax deferral upon exercise.

Approval of the Amendments to the 1992 Plan requires the approval of the
majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENTS TO
THE 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN.

(1) Personal benefits for each executive officer named in the table did not
exceed $50,000 or 10% of such executive officer's total annual salary and
bonus for the fiscal years ended November 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992
respectively.
(2) As of November 30, 1994, Messrs. Arison, Dickinson, Frank, Lanterman and
Zonis beneficially owned 3,251,354 shares, 347,146 shares, 165,808 shares,
157,340 shares and 258,975 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock,
respectively. At November 30, 1994, based on the closing price of the Class
A Common Stock on such date, such restricted shares of Class A Common Stock
beneficially owned by Messrs. Arison, Dickinson, Frank, Lanterman and Zonis
had a value of $70,310,530, $7,507,032, $3,585,598 $3,402,478 and
$5,600,334, respectively. The restricted shares of Class A Common Stock
held by such executive officers have the same rights with respect to
dividends and other distributions as all other outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock. As of November 30, 1994, Micky Arison beneficially owned
54,957,142 shares of Class B Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is not
publicly traded.

(3) In April 1994, the Company granted (i) to Micky Arison, the Chairman of the
Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, an
option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Arison
Options") and (ii) to Howard Frank, the Vice Chairman, Chief Financial
Officer and a director of the Company, an option to acquire 400,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock (the "Frank Option"). The Arison Option and the
Frank Option were each exercisable at a price of $22.50 per share of Class
A Common Stock, In February 1995, both the Arison Stock Option and the
Frank Stock Option were cancelled. Upon shareholder approval of the
proposed amendments to the Carnival Cruise Lines 1992 Stock Option Plan
discussed elsewhere in this Proxy, it is likely that the Company will issue
replacement options to Messrs. Arison and Frank at an exercise price per
share equal to $22.50.

(4) Represents payments to Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Zonis pursuant to the 1994
Carnival Cruise Lines Key Management Incentive Plan (the "CCL Plan") which
allows key management employees of Carnival

14
17

Cruise Lines to participate in an incentive award pool for fiscal 1994 of
two percent of (i) the consolidated net income of Carnival Cruise Lines
("CCL Net Income") for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, minus (ii)
CCL's Net Income for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993. A portion of
the annual bonus payable pursuant to the CCL Plan is payable in shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock.
(5) In 1989, Mr. Frank entered into a five-year employment agreement with the
Company. The employment agreement also provided for a minimum annual salary
and bonus which, for fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, are included
in the Summary Compensation Table. The employment agreement expired in
1994.
(6) Represents the value, based on the closing market price of the Class A
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the dates of grant, of
46,000 shares and 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to Mr.
Frank pursuant to the 1993 Carnival Cruise Lines Restricted Stock Plan in
1994 and 1993 respectively. Such shares vest at the rate of twenty percent
per year. The restricted shares of Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Frank
have the same rights with respect to dividends and other distributions as
all other outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
(7) Represent payments to Mr. Lanterman pursuant to the Holland America Lines,
Inc.-Westours, Inc. ("HALW") 1990-1993 Key Management Incentive Plan (the
"HALW Plan") which allows key management employees of HALW to participate
in an incentive award pool for fiscal 1994 of 3.2% of the consolidated net
income of HAL Antillen, N.V. Pursuant to the HALW Plan, cash incentive
awards due to Mr. Lanterman for years prior to fiscal 1994 were reduced by
an agreed upon value ($2,000,000) of Class A Common Stock issued to Mr.
Lanterman pursuant to an expired compensation agreement with a subsidiary
of the Company. The HALW Plan has been extended through fiscal 1995.
(8) Represents amounts paid on behalf of Mr. Lanterman pursuant to the Westours
Profit Sharing Plan (the "Profit Sharing Plan") and the Westours Employee
Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"). The amounts paid or accrued to Mr.
Lanterman under the Profit Sharing Plan in fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, were
$14,966, $17,104 and $17,104, respectively. The employer contributions made
on behalf of Mr. Lanterman under the Savings Plan for fiscal 1994, 1993,
and 1992, were $3,080, $2,998 and $2,909, respectively. The Profit Sharing
Plan and the Savings Plan are generally available to all employees of
Holland America Lines-Westours, Inc.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into deferred compensation agreements with three
employees, Robert H. Dickinson, Meshulam Zonis and a former executive officer.
The agreements provide for the payment of an annual deferred compensation
benefit equal to 50% of each employee's annual compensation, payable for 15
years in equal monthly installments after the employee retires. "Compensation"
is defined as the average of the employee's annual salary and bonuses, up to a
maximum of $400,000 earned during the last five years of employment (highest
paid five years of employment for the former executive officer) preceding the
employee's retirement or other separation from service. Employees may retire and
begin receiving an unreduced benefit anytime if they have reached age 65 and
have 10 years of continuous service, as determined by the Company. Assuming
average final compensation calculated according to Messrs. Dickinson's and
Zonis's annual compensation over the last five years, the estimated annual
benefits payable to each of Messrs. Dickinson and Zonis would be $200,000. An
employee may retire with benefits prior to age 65 if he is at least age 55, has
completed at least 10 years of service, and the Company consents to such
retirement. In such event, if the employee elects to have benefits commence
prior to age 65, payments are reduced to the present value, using a discount
factor of 10% of the full benefit which would have been payable at age 65. An
employee may also be entitled to benefits under certain other circumstances
specified in the agreements.

If the employee dies before receiving the entire benefit payable to him,
the balance is paid to the employee's beneficiary or estate.

All amounts are forfeited if the employee engages in any conduct which in
the Company's opinion is inimical to the Company's best interests, if the
employee's employment is terminated for cause, if the

15
18

employee engages in competition with the Company, or if the employee fails to
assist the Company when asked.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

The following table sets forth estimated pension benefits payable at age 65
or upon completion of 5 years of plan participation, whichever occurs later (the
"Normal Retirement Date"), pursuant to two employee pension plans (qualified and
non-qualified) adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1989 (collectively,
the "Pension Plan").

(The Pension Plan provides an early retirement benefit at age 55 after
completion of 15 years of service, subject to a reduction of .5% for each month
that distribution of benefits precedes the participant's Normal Retirement
Date.)

PENSION PLAN TABLE

YEARS OF SERVICE
-----------------------------------------------
REMUNERATION 15 20 25 30 35
- ------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------

$125,000......................................... $24,600 $32,800 $41,000 $49,200 $49,200
$150,000 and above............................... $30,600 $40,800 $51,000 $61,200 $61,200

A participant's benefits under the Pension Plan are calculated based on an
employee's length of service with the Company and the average of the
participant's five highest consecutive years of compensation (including base
pay, overtime, bonuses and commissions) out of the last ten years of service.
Subject to the benefit limitation policy discussed below, the covered
compensation with respect to the individuals named in the Summary Compensation
Table would include substantially the same types and amounts of annual
compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

The normal form of payment is a straight life annuity with benefits ceasing
at the later of the death of the participant or five years from the date of
first payment. If the employee is married, pension benefits are presumptively
payable on a reduced joint and 50% survivor annuity basis with the employee's
spouse as the contingent annuitant. Other forms of distributions are available
under the Pension Plan and with benefit payments commencing generally not prior
to January 1, 1994. Those options will include a lump sum distribution.

The Company has adopted a benefit limitation policy for the Pension Plan
consistent with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). The annual compensation for the fiscal year ended November 30,
1994 covered by the Pension Plan for the individuals named in the Summary
Compensation Table, except for A. Kirk Lanterman who is not eligible for
participation in the Pension Plan, is limited to $150,000 (as may be indexed)
pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

Pension benefits paid under the Pension Plan will be credited toward
amounts payable under the Deferred Compensation Agreements described above. The
Pension Plan does not reduce benefits on account of Social Security (or any
other benefit), other than as reflected in the benefit formula which is
integrated with Social Security.

As of January 1, 1995, the years of credited service under the Pension Plan
for each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table,
except for A. Kirk Lanterman who is not eligible for participation in the
Pension Plan, will be as follows: Micky Arison, age 45, with 19 credited years
of service; Robert H. Dickinson, age 52, 19 years; Meshulam Zonis, age 61, 19
years; and Howard Frank, age 53, 5 years.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Each director who is not an employee of the Company receives $25,000 per
annum.

On July 10, 1993, the Board of Directors adopted the 1993 Outside
Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Outside Director Plan") to provide additional
compensation to non-employee directors. The Outside

16
19

Director Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of Class A
Common Stock to directors of the Company who are not employees or officers of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Each nonemployee director elected or appointed to the Board of Directors
for the first time following the adoption of the Outside Director Plan is
granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Thereafter,
for each five-year period of consecutive service as a nonemployee director, each
nonemployee director receives an option to purchase an additional 10,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock. The exercise price of each option granted under the
Outside Director Plan may not be less than the average of the high and the low
sales price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
the date of grant.

Options granted under the Outside Director Plan are immediately exercisable
for a period of five years from the date of grant. The maximum number of shares
of Class A Common Stock which may be made subject to options under the Outside
Director Plan is 400,000. The Outside Director Plan is effective for a period of
ten years from the date of adoption by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the terms of the Outside Director Plan each nonemployee
director serving in such capacity at the time of the adoption of the Outside
Director Plan was granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock. In addition, such nonemployee directors received an option to purchase
10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for each five year period of service as a
director of the Company prior to the adoption of the Outside Director Plan (or
credit for any such period of prior service of less than five years). Based on
the foregoing, Messrs. Ruben, Subotnick, Weiser and Zucker were each granted
options to acquire 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and Mr. Birnbach,
Ambassador Capen and Mr. Maidique received an option to acquire 10,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock. The option price of the options issued to Messrs. Ruben,
Subotnick, Weiser, Zucker and Birnbach was $19.81 per share of Class A Common
Stock, the average of the high and the low sales price of a share of Class A
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The option
price of the options issued to Messrs. Capen and Maidique was $22.50 per share
of Class A Common Stock, the average of the high and the low sales price of a
share of Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of
grant. As of January 31, 1995, the market value of the 20,000 shares which could
be acquired by each of Messrs. Ruben, Subotnick, Weiser and Zucker upon the
payment by each of them of the aggregate exercise price of $396,200 was
$420,000. The market value on such date of the 10,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock which could be acquired by Mr. Birnbach upon his payment of the aggregate
exercise price of $198,100 was $210,000. As of January 31, 1995, the market
value of the 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock which could be acquired by
Messrs. Capen and Maidique upon payment by each of them of the aggregate
exercise price of $225,000 was $210,000.

RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT

In 1994, the Company entered into a Retirement and Consulting Agreement
(the "Retirement Agreement") with A. Kirk Lanterman, the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Holland America
Line-Westours, Inc. The Retirement Agreement provides that the Company will pay
to Mr. Lanterman in monthly installments over a ten year period an annual
compensation of $300,000 for consulting services beginning upon his retirement
from employment with the Company or its subsidiaries. Mr. Lanterman is required
to provide up to five hours of consulting services per month during the term of
the Retirement Agreement. In the event of Mr. Lanterman's death prior to the
expiration of the Retirement Agreement, the unpaid balance of the total
compensation payable under the Retirement Agreement must be paid to his estate
within thirty days of the date of his death.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During the Company's fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, Messrs. Sherwood
M. Weiser, Micky Arison and Uzi Zucker served as members of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Arison is the Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Arison and Mr. Frank
are directors of CHC International, Inc. As described below, Mr. Weiser is
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of CHC
International, Inc.

17
20

Mr. Weiser

Sherwood Weiser is the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and
President of CHC International, Inc., d/b/a Carnival Hotels and Casinos ("CHC").
CHC was formed in March 1994 by the Company and the principals of The
Continental Companies. CHC is an independent hotel and casino development and
management company. The Company contributed its interests in (i) Louisiana
Casino Cruises, Inc., a riverboat project in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, (ii) a
series of joint ventures with The Continental Companies to jointly manage
various hotel and casino resorts located in the Caribbean and Latin America (the
"Joint Ventures") and (iii) $12.5 million in principal amount of debentures
received by the Company from the buyer in connection with the sale of Carnival's
Crystal Palace Hotel and Casino, in exchange for 50% of the capital stock of
CHC. The principals of The Continental Companies (the "Continental Principals")
contributed the hotel management business of The Continental Companies in
exchange for the remaining 50% of the capital stock of CHC. Mr. Weiser was the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of The Continental Companies
as well as one of its principal stockholders.

In March 1994, the Company and CHC entered into the following agreements:

- A Trademark License Agreement providing for CHC's use of the "Carnival"
trademark so that CHC may do business as "Carnival Hotels & Casinos". In
exchange, CHC pays the Company an annual royalty equal to the greater of
$100,000 or 1% of the CHC's gross revenues, computed in accordance with
the terms of the Trademark License Agreement. The Trademark License
Agreement has a term of 20 years.

- A Loan Agreement ("CHC Revolving Credit Facility") providing for a
Company loan to CHC of up to $10 million. On November 30, 1994, the CHC
Revolving Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the purchase
by the Company of an additional 1,000,000 shares of CHC stock described
below.

- A Casino Consulting Services Agreement with a one-year term pursuant to
which CHC provides consulting services to the Company in connection with
its shipboard casinos for an annual fee of $200,000. The agreement was
terminated effective December 1, 1994 and replaced by a verbal agreement
from the Company to pay to CHC a consulting fee of $200 per hour for
services rendered.

In December 1994, CHC began operating a U.S.-flagged casino riverboat in
U.S. waters. Due to federal laws which prohibit ownership of a U.S.-flagged
vessel by any Company that is 25% or more owned by non-U.S. entities, the
Company was required to divest itself of slightly more than half of its 50%
interest in CHC. Accordingly, effective November 30, 1994, the Company completed
the sale of 429,624 shares of CHC common stock to Sherwood Weiser and 875,276
shares to the other Continental Principals in exchange for $16.3 million of 6%
notes receivable (the "TCC Notes"). The TCC Notes contain a put option which may
be exercised by the TCC Principals at any time to require the Company to
repurchase the aggregate 1,304,900 shares of CHC capital stock sold to the TCC
Principals in exchange for the full principal and interest due under the TCC
Notes.

Effective November 30, 1994, the Company also completed the purchase of an
additional 1,000,000 shares of capital stock of CHC for an aggregate purchase
price of $12,500,000. The purchase price was payable $2,075,000 in cash,
$425,000 in notes payable (with principal payable in four equal annual
installments commencing on November 30, 1995) and $10,000,000 in the form of
forgiveness of debt owed by CHC to the Company. Concurrently with the share
purchase, the Company and CHC entered into a Registration Rights Agreement which
provides the Company with the right, subject to certain limitations, to include
the 1,000,000 shares acquired on November 30, 1994 in any registration statement
filed by CHC before November 30, 1996.

The foregoing terms of the various transactions involving the Company, the
Continental Principals and CHC were the result of arms-length negotiations
between the parties.

Mr. Arison

Mr. Arison, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, is the indirect sole owner of a corporation which leases
a plane to the Company under a long-term lease pursuant to which the Company
paid rent in a lump sum of $5.5 million in 1987. The amount of the lump sum
payment was based on the fair market value and the remaining useful life of the
plane at the time, as determined by an independent appraiser. The Company has
the option to purchase the plane upon expiration of the lease at its fair market
value at the time.

Mr. Arison is also the indirect majority shareholder of Carnival Air Lines,
Inc. ("Carnival Air"), an airline which conducts charter services and scheduled
carrier services to Nassau, Puerto Rico and other locations in the Caribbean
from several U.S. cities and between various U.S. cities. During fiscal 1994,
the Company and its subsidiaries paid approximately $3.5 million to Carnival
Air, net of licensing fees. The Company believes that the fees charged by
Carnival Air are comparable to those charged by other airlines for comparable
services.

Mr. Zucker

Mr. Zucker, a director of the Company, is a Managing Director of Bear,
Stearns & Co. Inc. ("Bear Stearns"). Bear Stearns is one of the investment
banking firms serving as an agent of the Company in connection with the
Company's ongoing offering of $100,000,000 of Medium Term Notes. Bear Stearns
served as an underwriter in the Company's July 1994 public offering of 7.70%
Notes Due July 15, 2004. Bear Stearns received approximately $300,000 in
underwriting and consulting fees from the Company during fiscal 1994.

REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

THE COMMITTEES

The three-member Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
is responsible for annually recommending to the Board of Directors the cash
compensation payable to the Company's executive officers. Compensation decisions
by the Compensation Committee are submitted to the Board of Directors for
approval. The Plan Administration Committee is responsible for the
administration of the Company's stock-based incentive plans. The Compensation
Committee and the Plan Administration Committee are collectively referred to in
this Report as the "Committees".

The Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Sherwood Weiser and Uzi
Zucker, both outside directors of the Company, and Micky Arison, the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Arison, Ted Arison (his father)
and the other Principal Shareholders control 80.1% of the voting power of the
Company. Mr. Arison's participation on the Compensation Committee provides the
controlling shareholders of the Company the ability to directly oversee and
influence the compensation policies of the Company. The Plan Administration
Committee is comprised of Messrs. Weiser and Zucker.

COMPENSATION STRUCTURE

The key components of the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and the other executives named in the Summary Compensation Table are
base salary, annual bonus and stock-based incentives. The objective of the
Company is to create a compensation package for executive officers that is
competitive with compensation payable by comparable leisure industry companies,
as well as to provide both short term rewards and long term incentives for
positive individual and corporate performance.

Based on his subjective determinations, the Chief Executive Officer
recommends to the Compensation Committee and the Plan Administration Committee
the amount of total compensation payable to the Chief Executive Officer and the
other named officers for each fiscal year. The Committees undertake a subjective
review of such recommendations in light of the various factors discussed below.
Neither the Chief Executive Officer nor the Committees assign relative values to
any factors considered in the compensation process or set predetermined
performance targets for purposes of the compensation decisions. The compensation
recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer have historically been approved
by the Committees and the Board of Directors.

19
22

The various components of the Company's executive compensation are
discussed below.

Salaries

With the exception of Mr. Lanterman who is employed by Holland America
Line -- Westours, Inc. ("HALW"), a subsidiary of the Company, the Chief
Executive Officer and the named executive officers receive approximately the
same annual base salary. The base salaries, including the base salary of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, are deliberately set at a level the
Company believes to be below salaries paid to executive officers of companies of
comparable size. The objective of the Company is to emphasize the variable
annual bonus as the most important cash compensation feature of executive
compensation. The base salary is reviewed annually primarily for cost-of-living
increases. Mr. Frank's salary was paid pursuant to the terms of an employment
contract entered into with the Company in 1989 that expired in 1994. See
"Employment Contract." The base salary of the Chief Executive Officer has not
been significantly adjusted during the past three fiscal years.

Bonuses

The primary cash-based component of the Company's executive compensation is
the annual bonus. The emphasis on the annual discretionary bonus allows the
Company greater flexibility in rewarding favorable individual and corporate
performance than possible under a salary-oriented structure. Although there is
no specific relationship between the bonus recommendations of the Chief
Executive Officer and the performance of the Company for the 1994 fiscal year,
the Compensation Committee considered generally in reviewing such
recommendations the 20% increase in the Company's earnings per share (based on
continuing operations) for fiscal 1994 and the shareholder return reflected in
the Performance Graph appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Mr. Lanterman's cash bonus is based on the financial performance of HALW,
and is calculated pursuant to the terms of the HALW Key Management Incentive
Plan. See footnote 7 to the Summary Compensation Table. Cash bonuses to named
officers employed by the Carnival Cruise Lines division of the Company were
determined pursuant to the terms of the 1994 Carnival Cruise Lines Key
Management Incentive Plan (the "CCL Plan"). A portion of the annual bonus
payable pursuant to the CCL Plan is payable in shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock. See footnote 4 to the Summary Compensation Table.

Stock-Based Incentives

The third component of the Company's executive compensation is comprised of
stock-based incentive plans. The Plan Administration Committee considers the
current year's vesting of previously issued shares under the 1987 and 1993
Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. Restricted Stock Plans, respectively, and other
stock grants or awards in evaluating the executive compensation recommendations
of the Chief Executive Officer. Whereas the cash bonus payments are intended to
reward positive short-term individual and corporate performance, grants under
the stock-based plans are intended to provide executives with longer term
incentives which appreciate in value with the continued favorable future
performance of the Company. A portion of the annual bonuses payable pursuant to
the CCL Plan is payable in shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. See
Footnotes 4 and 6 to the Summary Compensation Table.

Other Compensation

The Company in the past has entered into various compensation-related
agreements with individual officers. Such plans include employment agreements
and deferred compensation arrangements. The Committees and the Board will
consider such arrangements in the future in connection with circumstances which
warrant an individualized compensation arrangement.

The Company's executive officers also participate in the Company's
non-qualified pension plan.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph compares the Price Performance of $100 if invested in
the Company's Class A Common Stock with the Price Performance of $100 if
invested in each of the New York Stock Exchange Market Value Index and the Dow
Jones Industry Group REQ (Other recreational products/services). The Performance
Graph does not contain comparisons with a cruise line industry index or other
cruise lines because the great majority of other companies engaged in the cruise
business are privately-held companies. The Price Performance, as used in the
Performance Graph, is calculated by assuming $100 is invested at the beginning
of the period in the Company's Class A Common Stock at a price equal to the
market value. At the end of each fiscal year the total value of the investment
is computed by taking the number of shares owned, assuming the Company's
dividends are reinvested on an annual basis, times the market price of the
shares at the end of each fiscal year.

TRANSACTIONS OF MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS WITH THE COMPANY

TRANSACTIONS WITH TED ARISON. In November 1990, subsequent to his
resignation as Chairman of the Board, Ted Arison and the Company entered into a
consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") whereby Ted Arison agreed to
act as a consultant to the Company with respect to the construction of cruise
ships. In July 1992, the Consulting Agreement was replaced by a new consulting
agreement (the "New Consulting Agreement") between the Company and Arison
Investments Ltd. ("AIL"), a corporation affiliated with Ted Arison. The New
Consulting Agreement has a term ending November 25, 1996. Under the New
Consulting Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay AIL $500,000 per year and to
reimburse it for all customary and usual expenses. The New Consulting Agreement
also has a non-competition clause under which AIL has agreed that during the
term of the New Consulting Agreement it will not, and will cause its affiliate
not to compete in any way with the Company. In fiscal 1994, $500,000 in fees and
reimbursements were paid to AIL under the New Consulting Agreement. In
connection with the performance of his consulting

21
24

services, Mr. Arison periodically utilizes an airplane leased by the Company.
Mr. Arison reimburses the Company for his personal use of the airplane. In 1994,
Mr. Arison paid the Company $396,720 for the personal use of the airplane.

Under a registration rights agreement (the "Arison Registration Rights
Agreement"), the Company has granted certain registration rights to Ted Arison
with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Ted
Arison (the "Arison Shares") in consideration for $10,000 to be paid to the
Company by Ted Arison thereunder. If, at any time, Ted Arison makes a written
demand for the registration of any number of the Arison Shares, subject to a
minimum amount of 500,000 shares, the Company will within 90 days prepare and
file with the SEC a registration statement, subject to certain limitations. In
addition, if the Company determines to file a registration statement on its
behalf or on behalf of any security holders (other than a registration statement
filed for the purpose of registering shares issuable to employees under an
employee benefit plan or in connection with a business combination) relating to
its Common Stock or any class of securities convertible into Common Stock, Ted
Arison may register the Arison Shares pursuant to such registration statement,
subject to certain limitations. The Company has agreed to bear all expenses
relating to such demand and piggyback registrations, except for fees and
disbursements of counsel for Ted Arison, selling costs, underwriting discounts
and applicable filing fees.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Pursuant to a letter agreement (the "Trust
Registration Rights Agreement"), dated July 11, 1989, the Company granted to the
Ted Arison Irrevocable Trust (the "Irrevocable Trust") and the Arison Children's
Irrevocable Trust (the "Children's Trust", and together with the Irrevocable
Trust, the "Trusts") certain registration rights with respect to the 7,138,514
shares of Class A Common Stock held for investment by the Trusts (the "Shares").
The beneficiaries of the Trusts included the children of Ted Arison, including
Micky Arison, a director, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company and Shari Arison, a former director of the Company. Effective
December 26, 1991, the Children's Trust was divided into three separate
continued trusts including continued trusts for Micky Arison and Shari Arison.

The Trust Registration Rights Agreement provides that if, at any time,
either of the Trusts makes a written demand for the registration of its Shares,
the Company will within 90 days prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a registration statement, subject to certain limitations.
The Company is not required to effect any demand registration pursuant to the
Trust Registration Rights Agreement unless all of the Shares owned by either of
the Trusts are included in the demand for registration. In addition, if the
Company determines to file a registration statement on its behalf or on behalf
of any security holders (other than a registration statement filed for the
purpose of registering shares issuable to employees under an employee benefit
plan, or in connection with a business combination) relating to this Common
Stock or any class of securities convertible into its Common Stock, either of
the Trusts may register its Shares pursuant to such registration statement,
subject to certain limitations. The Company has agreed to bear all expenses
relating to such demand and piggyback registrations, except for fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Trusts, underwriting discounts and applicable
filing fees.

TRANSACTIONS WITH CRUISE SPECIALISTS. Janet Olczak, the wife of A. Kirk
Lanterman, an executive officer and director of the Company, is the owner of a
travel agency located in Seattle, Washington, named Cruise Specialists. Under
the laws of the State of Washington, Ms. Olczak's ownership interest in Cruise
Specialists is her separate property and, accordingly, Mr. Lanterman does not
have any ownership interest in the agency. Cruise Specialists sells cruises and
other similar products for various travel providers, including the Company,
under arrangements that are common throughout the travel industry whereby Cruise
Specialists receives a commission based on sales generated. In fiscal 1994,
Cruise Specialists generated approximately $6 million of gross revenues (before
commission) for the Company. In connection with such revenues, Cruise
Specialists received commissions of approximately $1 million. The Company
believes that the commissions paid to Cruise Specialists are comparable to those
paid to other travel agents for comparable services.

LOAN TO ROBERT DICKINSON. On December 30, 1994, the Company loaned Robert
Dickinson, President of the Carnival Cruise Lines division of the Company and a
director, the sum of $560,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 6.55% per
annum and is evidenced by a promissory note which is due and payable on demand.

22
25

TRANSACTIONS WITH TRUSTEES. The trustee of the B Trust is JMD Delaware,
Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by James M. Dubin. Mr. Dubin is a
partner in the New York law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison,
which firm serves as counsel to the Company and Micky Arison.

Andrew Weinstein is the sole shareholder of TAF Management Company, A.H.W.
Limited and Kentish Limited, which act either as trustee or protector of certain
Arison family trusts. Mr. Weinstein is a partner in the law firm of Holland &
Knight, which firm serves as counsel to the Company and Ted Arison.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS. Certain transactions involving Micky Arison, Sherwood
Weiser and Uzi Zucker are described in "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION -- Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation."

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ENTITIES. The Company has adopted a policy of
dealing with affiliated entities on an arms-length basis and it may not engage
in business transactions with any affiliate on terms and conditions less
favorable to the Company than terms and conditions available at the time for
comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons.

SELECTION OF AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has selected Price Waterhouse as independent
accountants of the Company for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1995, subject
to approval of the shareholders. A representative of such firm will be present
at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he
desires to do so and is expected to respond to appropriate questions which the
shareholders might have. The Company knows of no direct or material indirect
financial interests or relationships that the members of such firm have with the
Company.

Although ratification by the shareholders of the appointment of independent
accountants is not legally required, the Board of Directors believes that such
action is desirable.

Ratification of the selection of Price Waterhouse as independent auditors
for the 1995 fiscal year requires the approval of the majority of the votes cast
at the Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF
THE SELECTION OF PRICE WATERHOUSE AS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE 1995 FISCAL
YEAR.

ANNUAL REPORT

The Annual Report of the Company, including financial statements for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, is being forwarded to each shareholder with
this Proxy Statement.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors has no knowledge of any other matters which may come
before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters shall properly come before the
meeting, the persons named in the Proxies will have discretionary authority to
vote the shares thereby represented in accordance with their best judgment.
