             CARNIVAL CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

     MIAMI (06/20/02) -- Carnival Corporation (NYSE:CCL) reported net
income of $194.2 million ($0.33 Diluted EPS) on revenues of $989.2 million
for its second quarter ended May 31, 2002, compared to net income of
$187.0 million ($0.32 Diluted EPS) on revenues of $1.08 billion for the
same quarter in 2001.
     Net income for the six months ended May 31, 2002 was $323.8 million
($0.55 Diluted EPS) on revenues of $1.89 billion, compared to net income
of $314.9 million ($0.54 Diluted EPS) on revenues of $2.09 billion for the
same period in 2001.
     Earnings for the second quarter of 2002 were reduced by a $9 million
loss, including related expenses, on the sale of Holland America Line's
Nieuw Amsterdam and by $12 million from cancelled cruises.
     Revenues for the second quarter of 2002 were 8.3 percent lower than
last year primarily because of lower cruise ticket prices, largely
attributed to the events of September 11, and a significant decline in the
number of guests purchasing air transportation from the company.  This was
partially offset by an increase in cruise capacity of 2.1 percent.  Net
revenue yield (net revenue per available berth day after deducting the
cost of air transportation and travel agent commissions) was down 5.3
percent, compared to the previous year's second quarter.
     Partially offsetting the lower revenues was a 5.7 percent reduction
in the company's cost per available berth day (excluding the cost of air
transportation and travel agent commissions) due in part to the timing of
advertising expenditures.  Second quarter 2002 results also did not
include any losses from the company's investment in Airtours plc, which
was sold in June 2001.
     Commenting on the second quarter results, Carnival Corporation
Chairman and CEO Micky Arison said he was pleased that the company has
continued to improve its performance since the events of September 11,
noting that net revenue yields in the second quarter improved
significantly from the 7.5 percent decline experienced in the first
quarter of 2002. "Our results in the second quarter clearly demonstrate
the continuing recovery of our cruise business, in spite of the current
economic uncertainty and political unrest," he said.  In addition, Arison
noted that the results from the company's "cost containment initiatives
continue to mitigate the pressure on net revenue yields."
     Booking levels during the 2002 second quarter were substantially
ahead of last year.  During the last few weeks, booking levels have been
approximately equal to last year's levels.  Arison added that cruise
pricing has largely recovered from the significantly discounted levels
last fall, now running only slightly below the comparable period last
year. On a cumulative basis, advance bookings and average prices for the
balance of 2002 remain below last year's levels, primarily as a result of
the dramatic slowdown in 2002 bookings last fall and the shift toward
closer-to-sailing booking patterns.
     "Based on bookings to date, we expect the trend in sequential yield
improvement to continue through the remainder of the year, with net
revenue yields expected to be down 3 percent to 5 percent in the third
quarter and up slightly in the fourth quarter," Arison noted.
     During the second quarter of 2002, Holland America announced that it
had exercised its option for the construction of a fifth 1,848-passenger
Vista-class ship, which is scheduled for delivery in spring 2006.  Looking
to the remainder of 2002, Carnival Cruise Lines plans to introduce the
2,124-passenger Carnival Legend in August 2002, offering the brand's first-
ever cruises from Europe.  Following its European program, the Carnival
Legend will operate a series of voyages from various North American ports
and then reposition to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to operate eight-day Caribbean
sailings beginning Nov. 10.  Carnival Cruise Lines is also scheduled to
launch its largest passenger ship ever, the 2,974-passenger Carnival
Conquest, from New Orleans in mid-November 2002, and Holland America's
1,848-passenger Zuiderdam is scheduled to enter service in December 2002
from Fort Lauderdale.
     The company has scheduled a conference call with analysts at 11 a.m.
EDT today to discuss its 2002 second quarter earnings.  This call can be
listened to live, and additional information can be obtained at Carnival
Corporation's Web site at www.carnivalcorp.com.
     Carnival Corporation is a global vacation and leisure travel provider
that operates Carnival Cruise Lines, the world's largest cruise line based
on passengers carried, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Line,
Seabourn Cruise Line, Windstar Cruises and Holland America Tours.  Carnival
Corporation's six cruise brands operate 43 ships in the Caribbean, Alaska,
Europe, Mexican Riviera, South America and other worldwide destinations, and
have 15 new ships scheduled for delivery during the next four years.
