| Footnote - F1: Represents trust shares (the "Trust Shares") of beneficial interests in P&O Princess Voting Trust (the "Trust"). In connection with the dual listed company transaction between Carnival plc (f/k/a P&O Princess Cruises plc) and Carnival Corporation (the "DLC Transaction"), Carnival plc issued one special voting share to the Trust and, following a series of transactions, the Trust Shares were distributed to holders of common stock of Carnival Corporation (the "Carnival Corporation Common Stock"). Since completion of the DLC Transaction on April 17, 2003, if Carnival Corporation issues Carnival Corporation Common Stock to a person, the Trust will issue an equivalent number of Trust Shares to such person. The Trust Shares are paired with shares of Carnival Corporation Common Stock and are represented by the same stock certificate. The Trust Shares represent a beneficial interest in the Carnival plc special voting share. |
| Footnote - F2: Issued pursuant to the Carnival Corporation 2011 Stock Plan. The restriction on the shares lapses on the third anniversary of the grant date. |
| Footnote - F3: The Board of Directors approved a value of $120,000 to be awarded to the reporting person in the form of restricted shares. The number of shares was determined by dividing the closing price of a share of Carnival Corporation common stock on April 11, 2012 and dividing it into $120,000, then rounding down to the nearest whole share. |
