ITEM 5.02(B). DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS. 

         John P. McNulty, a valued and respected member of Carnival Corporation
& plc's boards of directors, passed away suddenly on November 16, 2005, in
Naples, Fla.

         Mr. McNulty joined Carnival Corporation & plc's boards of directors in
June 2003 and also served as a member of the company's compensation committee.

         After earning his MBA from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton
School of Business, Mr. McNulty embarked on a distinguished 22-year career at
Goldman Sachs, eventually heading up the firm's investment management division
and significantly expanding the company's global investment management business.
He retired from Goldman Sachs in 2001 but continued to serve as senior director
of the firm.

         "All of us are greatly saddened by John's death and our thoughts and
prayers go out to his family. He was a valued member of our boards of directors
and his experience, wisdom and friendship will be missed by everyone in the
Carnival organization," said Micky Arison, chairman and CEO of Carnival
Corporation & plc.

         A scholarship has been established in his name and those interested in
making memorial contributions may forward them to: The John P. McNulty
Scholarship Fund For Excellence in Science and Math, 1300 3rd Street South,
