* Assuming the sale of all debentures and common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures, selling securityholders will not hold any debentures and will hold the number of our common stock set forth in column (5) "Common Stock Owned Prior to Conversion of Debentures." At that time, no selling securityholder will hold more than 1% of our outstanding common stock.

The prospectus dated October 4, 2001, as amended and supplemented by prospectus supplement No. 1 dated October 18, 2001, prospectus supplement No. 2 dated November 1, 2001, prospectus supplement No. 3 dated November 16, 2001, prospectus supplement No. 4 dated December 21, 2001, prospectus supplement No. 5 dated January 18, 2002, prospectus supplement No. 6 dated February 8, 2002, prospectus supplement No. 7 dated June 4, 2002, prospectus supplement No. 8 dated July 10, 2002 and this prospectus supplement No. 9, constitutes the prospectus required to be delivered by Section 5(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to offers and sales of the debentures and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures.

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CCL. On October 10, 2002, the last reported sales price of the common stock was $22.92 per share. There is no public market for the debentures, and we do not intend to apply for their listing on any exchange or to seek approval for their quotation through any automated quotation system.

We urge you to carefully read the "risk factors" section beginning on page 10 of the accompanying prospectus, where we describe specific risks associated with these securities before you make your investment decision.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus supplement is October 11, 2002.
