                             CARNIVAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - General

     Description of Business

     Carnival Corporation is a Panamanian corporation and, together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, is referred to collectively in these consolidated
financial statements and elsewhere in this 2002 Annual Report as "our," "us"
and "we."  We are a global cruise vacation and leisure travel provider that
operates six cruise lines under the brand names Carnival Cruise Lines
("CCL"), Costa Cruises ("Costa"), Cunard Line ("Cunard"), Holland America
Line ("Holland America"), Seabourn Cruise Line ("Seabourn") and Windstar
Cruises ("Windstar") and a tour business, Holland America Tours ("Tours").
CCL operates eighteen cruise ships with destinations primarily to the
Caribbean, the Bahamas and the Mexican Riviera. Holland America operates
eleven cruise ships with destinations primarily to Alaska, the Caribbean and
Europe.  Costa operates eight cruise ships with destinations primarily to
Europe, the Caribbean and South America.  Cunard operates two premium/luxury
cruise ships and Seabourn and Windstar each operate three luxury cruise
ships with destinations to the Caribbean, Europe, Central America, Tahiti
and other worldwide destinations.  Our current fleet of 45 ships has a
passenger capacity of 67,282 lower berths.  Tours is a leading cruise/tour
operator in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon.  Tours also markets sightseeing
packages, both separately and as a part of our cruise/tour packages.

     Preparation of Financial Statements

     The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported and disclosed in our financial statements. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.  All material intercompany accounts,
transactions and unrealized profits and losses on transactions within our
consolidated group and with affiliates are eliminated in consolidation.


NOTE 2 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     We consolidate subsidiaries over which we have control, as typically
evidenced by a direct ownership interest of greater than 50%.  For
affiliates where significant influence over financial and operating policies
exists, as typically evidenced by a direct ownership interest from 20% to
50%, the investment is accounted for using the equity method.  See Note 5.

     Prior to our acquisition of Costa in late fiscal 2000, we accounted for
our 50% interest in Costa using the equity method and recorded our portion
of Costa's operating results as earnings from affiliated operations on a
two-month lag basis. As of November 30, 2000, we changed how we report
Costa's operating results from a two-month lag basis to reporting on Costa's
current month's results. Accordingly, our November 30, 2000 consolidated
balance sheet included Costa's November 30, 2000 balance sheet.  The impact
of conforming Costa's reporting period on our fiscal 2000 revenues,
operating income and net income was not material.  Commencing in fiscal
2001, Costa's results of operations were also consolidated on a current
month basis in the same manner as our other wholly-owned subsidiaries.  See
Note 17.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

     Cash and cash equivalents include investments with original maturities
of three months or less are stated at cost. At November 30, 2002 and 2001,
cash and cash equivalents included $616 million and $1.38 billion of
investments, respectively, primarily comprised of strong investment grade
asset-backed debt obligations and money market funds.

     Short-term investments are comprised of marketable debt and equity
securities which are categorized as available for sale and, accordingly, are
stated at their fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses are included as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") within
shareholders' equity until realized.  The specific identification method is
used to determine realized gains or losses.

     Inventories

     Inventories consist primarily of provisions, spare parts, supplies and
fuel carried at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined using the
weighted average or first-in, first-out method.

     Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and
amortization was computed using the straight-line method over our estimates
of average useful lives and residual values, as a percentage of original
cost, as follows:



                                            Residual
                                             Values        Years

      Ships                                      15%         30
      Buildings and improvements               0-10%        5-40
      Transportation equipment and other       0-25%        2-20
      Leasehold improvements,
        including port facilities                    Shorter of lease term
                                                     or related asset life


     We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets
may not be fully recoverable.  The assessment of possible impairment is
based on our ability to recover the carrying value of our asset based on our
estimate of its undiscounted future cash flows.  If these estimated
undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the
asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess, if any, of the
assets carrying value over its estimated fair value (see Notes 4 and 16).

     Dry-dock costs are included in prepaid expenses and are amortized to
operating expenses using the straight-line method generally over one year.

     Ship improvement costs that we believe add value to our ships are
capitalized to the ships, and depreciated over the improvements' estimated
useful lives, while costs of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense
as incurred.  We capitalize interest on ships and other capital projects
during their construction period.  Upon the replacement or refurbishment of
previously capitalized ship components, these assets' estimated cost and
accumulated depreciation are written-off and any resulting gain or loss is
recognized in our results of operations. No such material gains or losses
were recognized in fiscal 2002, 2001 or 2000.  See Note 3.

     Gains or losses on the sale of property and equipment are classified as
nonoperating other income or expense.  In fiscal 2002, we realized an $8
million loss on the sale of the former Nieuw Amsterdam.

     Goodwill

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill
and requires an annual, or when events or circumstances dictate a more
frequent, impairment review of goodwill. Accordingly, upon adoption of SFAS
No. 142 on December 1, 2001, we ceased amortizing our goodwill, all of which
has been allocated to our Costa, Cunard and Holland America reportable
units, which are all part of  our reportable cruise segment.  We completed
the transitional and annual impairment tests of these reporting units'
existing goodwill as of December 1, 2001 and July 31, 2002, respectively,
and determined that their goodwill was not impaired.  There has been no
change to our goodwill carrying amount since November 30, 2001, other than
the change resulting from using a different foreign currency translation
rate at November 30, 2002 compared to November 30, 2001.  If goodwill
amortization, including goodwill expensed as part of our loss or income from
affiliated operations, had not been recorded for fiscal 2001 and 2000 our
adjusted net income and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share would
have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                                2001           2000

                  Net income                  $926,200       $965,458
                  Goodwill amortization         25,480         23,046
                  Adjusted net income         $951,680       $988,504

                  Adjusted earnings per share
                    Basic                        $1.63          $1.65
                    Diluted                      $1.62          $1.64

     The SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment review consists of a two-step
process of first determining the fair value of the reporting unit and
comparing it to the carrying value of the net assets allocated to the
reporting unit.  Fair values of our reporting units were determined based on
our estimates of comparable market price or discounted future cash flows.
If this fair value exceeds the carrying value, which was the case for our
reporting units, no further analysis or goodwill write-down is required.  If
the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the
net assets, the implied fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all
the underlying assets and liabilities, including both recognized and
unrecognized tangible and intangible assets, based on their fair value. If
necessary, goodwill is then written-down to its implied fair value.

     Prior to fiscal 2002, our goodwill was reviewed for impairment pursuant
to the same policy as our other long-lived assets as discussed above (see
Note 4) and our goodwill was amortized over 40 years using the straight-line
method. In addition, accumulated goodwill amortization at November 30, 2001
was $118 million.

     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     We utilize derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency
contracts to limit our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure and to
achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt (see Note 11).

     Our most significant contracts to buy foreign currency are forward
contracts entered into to fix the cost in United States ("U.S.") dollars of
seven of our foreign currency denominated shipbuilding commitments (see Note
7).  If our shipbuilding contract is denominated in the functional currency
of the cruise line that is expected to be operating the ship, we have not
entered into a forward foreign currency contract to hedge that commitment.

     Effective December 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on our balance sheet at
their fair values.  Derivatives that are not hedges must be recorded at fair
value and the changes in fair value must be immediately included in
earnings.  If a derivative is a fair value hedge, then changes in the fair
value of the derivative are offset against the changes in the fair value of
the underlying hedged firm commitment.  If a derivative is a cash flow
hedge, then changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized as a
component of AOCI until the underlying hedged item is recognized in
earnings.  The ineffective portion of a hedge derivative's change in fair
value is immediately recognized in earnings. We formally document all
relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our
risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking our hedge
transactions. Upon adoption, we recorded an adjustment of $4.2 million in
AOCI to record the unrealized net losses from our cash flow hedges that
existed on December 1, 2000.

     The total $187 million and $578 million of current and long-term fair
value of hedged firm commitment assets on our November 30, 2002 and 2001
balance sheets, respectively, includes $178 million and $567 million,
respectively, of unrealized gains on our shipbuilding commitments
denominated in foreign currencies because of the strengthening of the dollar
compared to the euro.  In addition, the total $194 million and $581 million
of fair value of derivative contract liabilities on our November 30, 2002
and 2001 balance sheets, respectively, includes $178 million and $567
million of unrealized losses on our forward foreign currency contracts
relating to those same shipbuilding commitments, which are used to fix the
cost of our shipbuilding commitments in U.S. dollars, and effectively
offsets the related hedged firm commitment assets.

     We classify the fair value of our derivative contracts and the fair
value of our offsetting hedged firm commitments as either current or long-
term liabilities and assets depending on whether the maturity date of the
derivative contract is within or beyond one year from our balance sheet
dates, respectively.  The cash flows from derivatives treated as hedges are
classified in our statements of cash flows in the same category as the item
being hedged.

     Derivative gains and losses included in AOCI are reclassified into
earnings at the same time the underlying hedged transaction is recorded in
earnings.  During fiscal 2002 and 2001, all net changes in the fair value of
both our fair value hedges and the offsetting hedged firm commitments and
our cash flow hedges were immaterial, as were any ineffective portions of
these hedges.  No fair value hedges or cash flow hedges were derecognized or
discontinued in fiscal 2002 and 2001, and the amount of estimated unrealized
net losses which are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next
twelve months is not material.  At November 30, 2002 and 2001, AOCI included
$8 million and $8.5 million of unrealized net losses, respectively, from
cash flow hedge derivatives, which were substantially all variable to fixed
interest rate swap agreements.

     Finally, if any of the three shipyards with which we have contracted to
build our ships is unable to perform, we would still be required to perform
under our foreign currency forward contracts related to that shipyard's
shipbuilding contracts.  Accordingly, based upon the circumstances, we may
have to discontinue the accounting for those forward contracts as hedges, if
the shipyard cannot perform.

     Prior to fiscal 2001, changes in the fair values of and any discounts
or premiums on, our shipbuilding forward foreign currency contract hedges
were recorded at maturity, which coincided with the dates when the related
foreign currency payments were to be made, with any resulting gains or
losses recorded as a decrease or increase, respectively, to the cost paid
for our ships.

     Revenue and Expense Recognition

     Guest cruise deposits represent unearned revenues and are initially
recorded as customer deposit liabilities on our balance sheet when received.
Customer deposits are subsequently recognized as cruise revenues, together
with revenues from onboard activities and all associated direct costs of a
voyage, generally upon completion of voyages with durations of ten days or
less and on a pro rata basis for voyages in excess of ten days.  Future
travel discount vouchers issued to guests are recorded as a reduction of
revenues when such vouchers are utilized. Revenues and expenses from our
tour and related services are recognized at the time the services are
performed or expenses are incurred.

      Advertising Costs

     Substantially all of our advertising costs are charged to expense as
incurred, except costs which result in tangible assets, such as brochures,
which are recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to expense as consumed.
Media production costs are also recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to
expense upon the first airing of the advertisement.  Advertising expenses
totaled $208 million, $214 million and $181 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.  At November 30, 2002 and 2001, the amount of
advertising costs included in prepaid expenses was not material.

     Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

     For our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates using the local currency as
their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange
rates in effect at the balance sheet dates.  Translation adjustments
resulting from this process are reported in AOCI.  Revenues and expenses of
these foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are translated at weighted-average
exchange rates for the period.  Exchange gains and losses arising from
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of
the entity involved are immediately included in our earnings.

     Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents
and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.
See Note 14.

     Stock-Based Compensation

     Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," we
elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for our employee and
director stock-based compensation awards.  Accordingly, we have not
recognized compensation expense for our noncompensatory employee and
director stock option awards.  Our pro forma net income and earnings per
share for fiscal 2002 and 2001, had we elected to adopt the fair value
approach of SFAS No. 123, which charges earnings for the estimated fair
value of stock options, would have been $991 million and $904 million and
$1.69 and $1.54, respectively, and would not have been materially different
from reported net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2000.

     As determined below, the weighted-average fair values of options we
granted during fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $12.16, $12.67 and $13.31 per
share, respectively, at the dates of grant. As recommended by SFAS No. 123,
the fair values of options were estimated using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for fiscal
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively; expected dividend yields of 1.23%, 1.16%
and 1.17%; expected volatility of 48.0%, 50.0% and 28.9%; risk free interest
rates of 4.3%, 4.5% and 6.4%; and expected option life of six years for all
periods.

    The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting or trading
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models
require the input of subjective assumptions, including expected stock price
volatility. Because our options have characteristics different from those of
traded options, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of our options.

     Concentrations of Credit Risk

     As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor concentrations of
credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we
conduct significant business.  Credit risk, including counterparty
nonperformance under derivative instruments, contingent obligations and new
ship progress payment guarantees, is considered minimal, as we primarily
conduct business with large, well-established financial institutions who
have long-term credit ratings of A or above and we seek to diversify our
counterparties.  In addition, we have established guidelines regarding
credit ratings and investment maturities that we follow to maintain safety
and liquidity.  We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our
significant counterparties.

     We also monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant
credit terms in the normal course of our business.  Concentrations of credit
risk associated with these receivables are considered minimal primarily due
to their short maturities.  We have experienced only minimal credit losses
on our trade receivables.  We do not normally require collateral or other
security to support normal credit sales.  However, we do normally require
collateral and/or guarantees to support notes receivable on significant
asset sales and new ship progress payments to shipyards.

     Reclassifications

     Reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to
the current year presentation.


NOTE 3 - Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):


                                                        November 30,

                                                $10,115,404     $ 8,390,230

     Capitalized interest, primarily on our ships under construction,
amounted to $39 million, $29 million and $41 million in fiscal 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively.  Ships under construction include progress payments
for the construction of the ship, as well as design and engineering fees,
capitalized interest, construction oversight costs and various owner
supplied items.  At November 30, 2002, two ships with an aggregate net book
value of $623 million were pledged as collateral pursuant to a $119 million
note and a $463 million contingent obligation (see Notes 6 and 8).

     Maintenance and repair expenses and dry-dock amortization were $175
million, $160 million and $132 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

NOTE 4 - Impairment Charge

     During fiscal 2002 and 2001 we reviewed our long-lived assets and
goodwill for which there were indications of possible impairment or as
required annually pursuant to SFAS No. 142.  As a result of these reviews,
in fiscal 2002 we reduced the carrying value of one of our ships by
recording an impairment charge of $20 million.  In fiscal 2001, we recorded
an impairment charge of $140 million, which consisted principally of a $71
million reduction in the carrying value of ships, a $36 million write-off of
Seabourn goodwill, a $15 million write-down of a Holland America note
receivable and a $11 million loss on the sale of the Seabourn Goddess I and
II.  The impaired ships' and note receivable fair values were based on third
party appraisals, negotiations with unrelated third parties or other
available evidence, and the fair value of the impaired goodwill was based on
our estimates of discounted future cash flows.

NOTE 5 - Investments In and Advances To Affiliates

     On June 1, 2001, we sold our investment in Airtours plc, which resulted
in a nonoperating net gain of $101 million and net cash proceeds of $492
million.  Cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $59 million were
reclassified from AOCI and included in determining this 2001 net gain.  We
also recorded a direct charge of $8 million to our retained earnings in
fiscal 2001, which represented our share of Airtours' losses for April and
May 2001, since Airtours results were reported on a two-month lag.

     In fiscal 2001, we sold our interest in CRC Holdings, Inc. ("CRC") to
an unrelated third party, which resulted in a nonoperating net gain of $16
million and net cash proceeds of $39 million.  One of the members of our
Board of Directors was a principal shareholder in CRC.

     Dividends received from affiliates were $13 million and $16 million in
fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, which reduced the carrying value of our
investments in affiliates in accordance with the equity method of
accounting.

     Income statement and segment information for fiscal 2000 for our
affiliated companies accounted for using the equity method, including
Airtours and Costa, was as follows:  revenues - $6.7 billion, gross margin -
$1.3 billion, operating income - $5 million, depreciation and amortization -
$152 million, net income - $20 million and capital expenditures - $650
million. Since we sold our interest in Airtours and CRC during fiscal 2001,
no data has been presented for fiscal 2002 and 2001.


NOTE 6 - Long-Term Debt

     Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):


                                                           November 30,

  at November 30, 2002 and 2001,
  respectively), due through 2008                  $  118,727   $  125,770
Unsecured fixed rate notes, bearing interest
  at rates ranging from 6.15% to 7.7%, due
  through 2028(b)                                     848,900      848,779
Unsecured floating rate euro notes, bearing interest
  at rates ranging from euribor plus 0.35% to
  euribor plus 0.53% (3.6% to 4.0% and 3.9% to 4.9%
  at November 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively),
  due 2005 and 2006                                   680,377      604,068
Unsecured fixed rate euro notes, bearing interest

Unsecured $1.4 billion revolving credit facility,
  bearing interest at libor plus 0.17% (1.6% at

(a) All borrowings are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Euro
    denominated notes have been translated to U.S. dollars at the period end
    exchange rates.  At November 30, 2002 and 2001, 65% and 66% of our debt
    was U.S. dollar denominated and 35% and 34% was euro denominated,
    respectively.
(b) These notes are not redeemable prior to maturity.

     Our unsecured 2% convertible notes ("2% Notes") and our zero-coupon
convertible notes ("Zero-Coupon Notes") are convertible into 15.3 million
shares and 17.4 million shares, respectively, of our common stock.  Our 2%
Notes are convertible at a conversion price of $39.14 per share, subject to
adjustment, during any fiscal quarter for which the closing price of our
common stock is greater than $43.05 per share for a defined duration of
time.  Our Zero-Coupon Notes have a 3.75% yield to maturity and are
convertible during any fiscal quarter for which the closing price of our
common stock reaches certain targeted levels for a defined duration of time.
These levels commenced at a low of $31.94 per share for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 and increase at an annual rate of 3.75% thereafter, until
maturity. The conditions for conversion of our 2% Notes or Zero-Coupon Notes
were not met during fiscal 2002 and 2001.

     Subsequent to April 14, 2008, we may redeem all or a portion of our 2%
Notes at their face value plus any unpaid accrued interest, and subsequent
to October 23, 2008, we may redeem all or a portion of our Zero-Coupon Notes
at their accreted value.

     In addition, on April 15 of 2005, 2008 and 2011 our 2% Noteholders and
on October 24 of 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2016 our Zero-Coupon Noteholders may
require us to repurchase all or a portion of the outstanding 2% Notes at
their face value plus any unpaid accrued interest and the Zero-Coupon Notes
at their accreted value.

     Upon conversion, redemption or repurchase of our 2% Notes and Zero-
Coupon Notes we may choose to deliver common stock, cash or a combination of
cash and common stock with a total value equal to the value of the
consideration otherwise deliverable. If our 2% Notes and Zero-Coupon Notes
were to be put back to us, we expect to settle them for cash and,
accordingly, they are not included in our diluted earnings per share common
stock calculations.  However, no assurance can be given that we will have
sufficient liquidity to make such cash payments. See Note 14.

     In May 2001, Costa entered into a five-year 257.5 million euro (255.6
million U.S. dollars at the November 30, 2002 exchange rate) unsecured
floating rate euro denominated revolving credit facility, of which $145
million was available at November 30, 2002.

     Our $1.4 billion unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility
matures in June 2006. This facility currently bears interest at
libor/euribor plus 17 basis points ("BPS"), which interest rate spread over
libor/euribor will vary based on changes to our senior unsecured debt
ratings, and provides for an undrawn facility fee of eight BPS.  Our
commercial paper program is supported by this revolving credit facility and,
accordingly, any amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program,
none at November 30, 2002 and 2001, reduce the aggregate amount available
under this facility. At November 30, 2002, $1.35 billion of this facility
was available.  This facility and other of our loan agreements contain
covenants that require us, among other things, to maintain a minimum debt
service coverage and limits our debt to tangible capital ratio and the
amount of our secured indebtedness.  In addition, our ability to draw upon
the then available portion of our $1.4 billion credit facility could be
terminated and we could also be required to repay the amounts outstanding
under our one collateralized and three unsecured euro notes, which amounted
to $722 million at November 30, 2002, if our business suffers a material
adverse change.  At November 30, 2002, we were in compliance with all of our
debt covenants.


     At November 30, 2002, the scheduled annual maturities of our long-term
debt was as follows (in thousands):

                         Fiscal

    Zero-Coupon Notes in 2006 based on the date of the noteholders first put
    option.

     Debt issuance costs are generally amortized to interest expense using
the straight-line method over the term of the notes or to the noteholders
first put option date, whichever is earlier.  In addition, all loan issue
discounts are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest
method over the term of the notes.

(1) The expected service date is the date the ship is currently expected to
    begin its first revenue generating cruise.
(2) In accordance with cruise industry practice, passenger capacity is
    calculated based on two passengers per cabin even though some cabins
    can accommodate three or more passengers.
(3) Estimated total cost of the completed ship includes the contract price
    with the shipyard, design and engineering fees, capitalized interest,
    construction oversight costs and various owner supplied items.
(4) These construction contracts are denominated in euros and have been
    fixed into U.S. dollars through the utilization of forward foreign
    currency contracts.  The $178 million of unrealized losses from these
    forward contracts has been recorded as fair value of derivative contract
    liabilities on our November 30, 2002 balance sheet and are also included
    in the above estimated total cost of these construction contracts.
(5) These construction contracts are denominated in euros, which is Costa's
    functional currency.  The estimated total costs have been translated
    into U.S. dollars using the November 30, 2002 exchange rate.

     In connection with our ships under contract for construction, we have
paid approximately $712 million through November 30, 2002 and anticipate
paying the remaining estimated total cost as follows (in millions):

     Proposed Dual-Listed Company Transaction with P&O Princess Cruises plc
       ("P&O Princess")

     After a series of preconditional offers made to the shareholders of P&O
Princess by us, commencing in December 2001, on January 8, 2003 we entered
into an agreement with P&O Princess, the world's third largest cruise
company, providing for a combination of both companies (the "Combined
Group") under a dual-listed company ("DLC") structure.

     If the DLC transaction is completed, it would create a combination of
the two companies through a number of contracts and certain amendments to
our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and to P&O Princess' Memorandum
and Articles of Association. The two companies would retain their separate
legal identities and each company's shares would continue to be publicly
traded on the New York Stock Exchange for us and the London Stock Exchange
for P&O Princess.  However, both companies would operate as if they were a
single economic enterprise. The contracts governing the DLC structure would
provide that the boards of directors of the two companies would be
identical, the companies would be managed by a unified senior management
team and that, as far as possible, P&O Princess' and our shareholders would
be placed in substantially the same economic position as if they held shares
in a single enterprise which owned all of the assets of both companies. The
net effect of the DLC transaction would be that our existing shareholders
would own an economic interest equal to approximately 74% of the Combined
Group and the existing shareholders of P&O Princess would own an economic
interest equal to approximately 26% of the Combined Group.  Also in
connection with the DLC transaction, we will be making a Partial Share Offer
("PSO") for 20% of P&O Princess' shares, which will enable P&O Princess
shareholders to exchange P&O Princess shares for our shares on the basis of
0.3004 of our shares for each P&O Princess share up to, in aggregate, a
maximum of 20% of P&O Princess issued share capital. If the maximum number
of P&O Princess' shares are exchanged under the PSO, holders of our shares,
including our new shareholders who exchanged their P&O Princess shares for
our shares under the PSO, would own an economic interest equal to
approximately 79% of the Combined Group and holders of P&O Princess shares
would own an economic interest equal to approximately 21% of the Combined
Group. The PSO is conditional on, among other things, the closing of the DLC
transaction.  Upon completion of the DLC transaction, P&O Princess will
reorganize and consolidate its share capital so that one share of P&O
Princess will have the same economic and voting interest as one of our
shares.

     The completion of the DLC transaction between P&O Princess and us is
subject to approval by P&O Princess' shareholders and our shareholders. No
assurance can be given that the DLC transaction will be completed and, if it
is completed, when completion will take place.  If the DLC transaction is
not completed by September 30, 2003, either party can terminate the
agreement if it is not in material breach of its obligations. We have
incurred $30 million of transaction costs as of November 30, 2002, and
continue to incur costs, which have been or will be deferred in connection
with the DLC transaction.  In the event a transaction with P&O Princess is
not consummated, we would be required to write off the above $30 million
plus all costs incurred and deferred subsequent to November 30, 2002,
resulting in an estimated total write-off of approximately $45 million to
$50 million. If the DLC transaction or another transaction with P&O Princess
is completed by us, these deferred costs, together with any additional
direct costs, which may be incurred, would be capitalized as part of the
transaction.

     If our agreement with P&O Princess is terminated under certain
circumstances, we would be required to pay P&O Princess a break fee of $49
million.  These circumstances include, among other things, our board of
directors withdrawing or adversely modifying its recommendation to
shareholders to approve the DLC transaction, our board of directors
recommending an alternative acquisition proposal to shareholders, or our
shareholders failing to approve the DLC transaction if a third-party
acquisition proposal exists at the time of our meeting or if we breach our
exclusivity covenant and a third party acquisition proposal with respect to
us is completed prior to July 2004. Similarly, P&O Princess would be
obligated to pay us a break fee of $49 million upon the occurrence of
reciprocal circumstances.

     If the DLC transaction is completed, we expect to account for it as an
acquisition of P&O Princess by us, which will be accounted for using the
purchase method.


     Operating Leases

     Rent expense under our operating leases, primarily for office and
warehouse space, was $15 million, $13 million and $10 million in fiscal
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  At November 30, 2002, minimum annual
rentals for our operating leases, with initial or remaining terms in excess
of one year, were as follows (in thousands):

                             Fiscal

                             2003          $10,700
                             2004            9,300
                             2005            9,100
                             2006            9,100
                             2007            6,000
                             Thereafter     25,300
                                           $69,500

     Port Facilities and Other

     At November 30, 2002, we had commitments through 2027, with initial or
remaining terms in excess of one year, to pay minimum amounts for our annual
usage of port facilities and other contractual commitments as follows (in
thousands):

                            Fiscal
                             2003         $ 52,100
                             2004           38,800
                             2005           25,300
                             2006           25,800
                             2007           27,100
                             Thereafter    179,600
                                          $348,700

     Travel Vouchers

     Pursuant to CCL's and Holland America's settlement of litigation,
travel vouchers with face values of $10 to $55 were required to be issued to
qualified past passengers.  As of November 30, 2002, approximately $123
million of these travel vouchers are available to be used for future travel
prior to their expiration, principally in fiscal 2005.


NOTE 8 - Contingencies

     Litigation

     Several actions (collectively, the "ADA Complaints") have been filed
against Costa, Cunard and Tours alleging that they violated the Americans
with Disabilities Act by failing to make certain cruise ships accessible to
individuals with disabilities.  The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief to
require modifications to certain vessels to increase accessibility to
disabled passengers and fees and costs.  Costa and the plaintiffs have
agreed to settle this action, subject to court approval.  Cunard and Tours
are in ongoing settlement negotiations with the plaintiffs.

     Three actions (collectively, the "Facsimile Complaints") were filed
against us on behalf of purported classes of persons who received
unsolicited advertisements via facsimile, alleging that we and other
defendants distributed unsolicited advertisements via facsimile in
contravention of the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act.  The plaintiffs
seek to enjoin the sending of unsolicited facsimile advertisements and
statutory damages.  The advertisements referred to in the Facsimile
Complaints were not sent by us, but rather were distributed by a
professional faxing company at the behest of travel agencies that referenced
a CCL product.  We do not advertise directly to the traveling public through
the use of facsimile transmission.

     The ultimate outcome of the pending ADA and Facsimile Complaints cannot
be determined at this time.  We believe that we have meritorious defenses to
these claims and, accordingly, we intend to vigorously defend against these
actions.

     Several actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Florida against us and four of our executive officers on behalf
of a purported class of persons who purchased our common stock were
consolidated into one action in Florida (the "Stock Purchaser Complaint").
The plaintiffs have claimed that statements we made in public filings
violated federal securities laws and seek unspecified compensatory damages
and attorney and expert fees and costs.   Recently, a magistrate judge
recommended that our motion to dismiss the Stock Purchaser Complaint be
granted and that the plaintiffs' amended complaint be dismissed without
prejudice.  However, because it was dismissed without prejudice, the
plaintiffs may file a new amended complaint. Nevertheless, the parties have
entered into a memorandum of understanding settling the case pending
confirmatory discovery and judicial approval.  A substantial portion of the
$3.4 million settlement amount, which includes plaintiff's attorneys fees,
will be covered by insurance.

     In February 2001, Holland America Line-USA, Inc. ("HAL-USA"), our
wholly-owned subsidiary, received a grand jury subpoena requesting that it
produce documents and records relating to the air emissions from Holland
America ships in Alaska.  HAL-USA responded to the subpoena.  The ultimate
outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.

     On August 17, 2002, an incident occurred in Juneau, Alaska onboard
Holland America's Ryndam involving a wastewater discharge from the ship.  As
a result of this incident, various Ryndam ship officers have received grand
jury subpoenas from the Office of the U.S. Attorney in Anchorage, Alaska
requesting that they appear before a grand jury.  One of the subpoenas also
requests the production of Holland America documents, which Holland America
is producing. If the investigation results in charges being filed, a
judgment could include, among other forms of relief, fines and debarment
from federal contracting, which would prohibit operations in Glacier Bay
National Park and Preserve during the period of debarment.  The State of
Alaska is separately investigating this incident.  The ultimate outcome of
these matters cannot be determined at this time.

     Costa has instituted arbitration proceedings in Italy to confirm the
validity of its decision not to deliver its ship, the Costa Classica, to the
shipyard of Cammell Laird Holdings PLC ("Cammell Laird") under a 79 million
euro denominated contract for the conversion and lengthening of the ship.
Costa has also given notice of termination of the contract.  It is now
expected that the arbitration tribunal's decision will be made in mid-2004
at the earliest.  In the event that an award is given in favor of Cammell
Laird, the amount of damages, which Costa will have to pay, if any, is not
currently determinable. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be
determined at this time.

     In the normal course of our business, various other claims and lawsuits
have been filed or are pending against us.  Most of these claims and
lawsuits are covered by insurance.  We are not able to estimate the impact
or the ultimate outcome of any such actions, which are not covered by
insurance.

     Contingent Obligations

     At November 30, 2002, we had contingent obligations totaling $1.05
billion to participants in lease out and lease back type transactions for
three of our ships.  At the inception of the leases, the entire amount of
the contingent obligations was paid by us to major financial institutions to
enable them to directly pay these obligations.  Accordingly, these
obligations were considered extinguished, and neither funds nor the
contingent obligations have been included on our balance sheets.  We would
only be required to make any payments under these lease contingent
obligations in the remote event of nonperformance by these financial
institutions, all of which have long-term credit ratings of AAA or AA.  In
addition, we obtained a direct guarantee from another AAA rated financial
institution for $285 million of the above noted contingent obligations,
thereby reducing even the remote exposure to this portion of the contingent
obligations.  If the major financial institutions' credit ratings fall below
AA-, we would be required to move a majority of the funds from these
financial institutions to other highly-rated financial institutions.  If our
credit rating falls below BBB, we would be required to provide a standby
letter of credit for $91 million, or alternatively provide mortgages in the
aggregate amount of $91 million on two of our ships.

     In the unlikely event that we were to terminate the three lease
agreements early or default on our obligations, we would, as of November 30,
2002 have to pay a total of $180 million in stipulated damages.  As of
November 30, 2002, $148 million of standby letters of credit have been
issued by a major financial institution in order to provide further security
for the payment of these contingent stipulated damages.  An additional $40
million of standby letters of credit would be required to be issued if our
three credit ratings fall below A-/A3.  Between 2017 and 2022, we have the
right to exercise options that would terminate these transactions at no cost
to us.  We entered into these three transactions in order to receive $67
million, which was recorded as deferred income on our balance sheets and is
being amortized to nonoperating income through 2022.  In the event we were
to default under our $1.4 billion revolving credit facility, we would be
required to post cash collateral to support the stipulated damages standby
letters of credit.

NOTE 9 - Income and Other Taxes

     We believe that substantially all of our income, with the exception of
our U.S. source income from the transportation, hotel and tour businesses of
Tours, is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes. If we were found not to
qualify for exemption pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or under
the Internal Revenue Code or if the income tax treaties or Internal Revenue
Code were to be changed in a manner adverse to us, a portion of our income
would become subject to taxation by the U.S. at higher than normal corporate
tax rates.

     Some of our subsidiaries, including Costa and Tours, are subject to
foreign and/or U.S. income taxes.  In fiscal 2002, we recognized a net $57
million income tax benefit primarily due to a new Italian investment
incentive law, which allowed Costa to receive a $51 million income tax
benefit based on contractual expenditures during 2002 on the construction of
new ships. At November 30, 2002, Costa had a remaining net deferred tax
asset of approximately $45 million relating to the tax benefit of the net
operating loss carryforwards arising from this incentive law, which expire
in 2007.  In fiscal 2001, we recognized a $9 million income tax benefit from
Costa primarily due to changes in Italian tax law.

     We do not expect to incur income taxes on future distributions of
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, no deferred
income taxes have been provided for the distribution of these earnings.

     In addition to or in place of income taxes, virtually all jurisdictions
where our ships call, impose taxes based on passenger counts, ship tonnage
or some other measure.  These taxes, other than those directly charged to
and collected from passengers by us, are recorded as operating expenses in
the accompanying statements of operations.

NOTE 10 - Shareholders' Equity

     Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, at
their discretion, to issue up to 40 million shares of our preferred stock.
At November 30, 2002 and 2001, no preferred stock had been issued.

     In February 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to $1 billion of our common stock.  As of November 30, 2001, we had
repurchased 33.1 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $705
million pursuant to this authorization.  In addition in 2001, we received
761,000 shares of our common stock from our chief executive officer valued
at its quoted market price of $23 million, which we recorded as treasury
stock, in payment of the exercise price for two million shares of our common
stock issued to him pursuant to a stock option plan (see Note 13).  In
fiscal 2002, we retired all of our treasury stock.

    At November 30, 2002, there were 77.5 million shares of our common stock
reserved for issuance pursuant to our convertible notes and our stock
option, employee stock purchase, restricted stock and dividend reinvestment
plans.  During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 we declared cash dividends
aggregating $0.42 per share for each year.

     At November 30, 2002 and 2001, AOCI included cumulative foreign
currency translation adjustments which increased shareholders' equity by $29
million and decreased shareholders' equity by $22 million, respectively.

NOTE 11 - Financial Instruments

     We estimated the fair value of our financial instruments through the
use of public market prices, quotes from financial institutions and other
available information.  Considerable judgment is required in interpreting
data to develop estimates of fair value and, accordingly, amounts are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current
market exchange.  Our financial instruments are not held for trading or
other speculative purposes.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents approximate their
fair values due to their short maturities.

     Other Assets

     At November 30, 2002 and 2001, long-term other assets included
marketable securities held in rabbi trusts for certain of our nonqualified
benefit plans and notes and other receivables, principally collateralized by
a ship, the former Nieuw Amsterdam. These assets had carrying and fair
values of $173 million at November 30, 2002 and $143 million at November 30,
2001. Fair values were based on public market prices, estimated discounted
future cash flows or estimated fair value of collateral.

     Long-Term Debt

     At November 30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of our long-term debt,
including the current portion, was $3.33 billion and $2.95 billion,
respectively, which was $166 million greater than and $26 million less than
its carrying value on those respective dates. The net difference between the
fair value of our long-term debt and its carrying value was due primarily to
our issuance of debt obligations at fixed interest rates that are below or
above market interest rates in existence at the measurement dates.  The fair
values of our unsecured fixed rate notes, convertible notes and unsecured
5.57% euro notes were based on their public market prices.  The fair values
of our other long-term debt were estimated based on appropriate market
interest rates being applied to this debt.

     Foreign Currency Contracts

     We have forward foreign currency contracts, designated as foreign
currency fair value hedges, for seven of our euro denominated shipbuilding
contracts (see Note 7).  At November 30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of
these forward contracts was an unrealized loss of $178 million and $567
million, respectively.  These forward contracts mature through 2005.  The
fair values of our forward contracts were estimated based on prices quoted
by financial institutions for these instruments.

     Interest Rate Swaps

     We have interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges
whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making
variable interest rate payments.  At November 30, 2002 and 2001, these
interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $225 million of fixed rate
debt with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 6.8% to Libor-based
floating rate debt.

     In addition, we also have interest rate swap agreements designated as
cash flow hedges whereby we receive variable interest rate payments in
exchange for making fixed interest rate payments.  At November 30, 2002 and
2001, these interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $468 million
and $637 million, respectively, of euribor floating rate debt to fixed rate
debt with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.5% and 5.3%,
respectively.

     These interest rate swap agreements mature through 2006.  At November
30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a net
unrealized loss of $0.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  The fair
values of our interest rate swap agreements were estimated based on
appropriate market interest rates being applied to these instruments.

NOTE 12 - Segment Information

     Our cruise segment included six cruise brands (five, excluding Costa,
prior to fiscal 2001), which have been aggregated as a single reportable
segment based on the similarity of their economic and other characteristics.
Cruise revenues are comprised of sales of passenger cruise tickets, which
includes accommodations, meals and most onboard activities, in some cases
the sale of air transportation to and from our cruise ships, and the sale of
certain onboard activities and other services. The tour segment represents
the transportation, hotel and tour operations of Tours.

     The significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as
those described in Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Cruise revenues included intersegment revenues, which primarily represent
billings to the tour segment for the cruise portion of a tour when a cruise
is sold as a part of a tour package.  In addition, cruise and tour operating
expenses included a cost allocation of certain corporate and other expenses.
Information for the cruise and tour segments for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000
was as follows (in thousands)

(a) Cruise operating income included impairment charges of $20 million in
    2002 and $134 million in 2001 and Tour operating loss included $6
    million in 2001 (see Note 4).
(b) In 2002 and 2001, the cruise segment information included Costa.  At
    November 30, 2000, Costa's total assets were included in the cruise
    segment, but its 2000 results of operations were included in the
    affiliated operations segment (See Notes 2 and 17).
(c) Tour assets primarily included hotels in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon,
    luxury dayboats offering tours to the glaciers of Alaska and the Yukon
    River, motor coaches used for sightseeing and charters in the states of
    Washington and Alaska, British Columbia, Canada and the Canadian Yukon
    and private, domed rail cars, which are run on the Alaska Railroad
    between Anchorage and Fairbanks.
(d) On June 1, 2001, we sold our investment in Airtours.  Accordingly, we
    did not record any equity in the earnings or losses from the affiliated
    operations of Airtours after our quarter ended May 31, 2001.
(e) Operating loss represented corporate expenses not allocated to segments.
    Corporate assets primarily included cash, cash equivalents, short-term
    investments, debt issuance costs, deferred P&O Princess acquisition
    costs and transportation assets.

     See Note 5 for affiliated operations segment information, which were
not included in our consolidated operations.

     Foreign revenues for our cruise brands, excluding Costa in 2000,
represent sales generated from outside the U.S. primarily by foreign tour
operators and foreign travel agencies.  The majority of these foreign
revenues are from Italy, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain.
Substantially all of our long-lived assets are located outside of the U.S.
and consist principally of our goodwill, ships and ships under construction.

Revenue information by geographic area for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 was as
follows (in thousands):

NOTE 13 - Benefit Plans

     Stock Option Plans

     We have stock option plans primarily for supervisory and management
level employees and members of our Board of Directors.  The plans are
administered by a committee of three of our directors (the "Committee")
which determines who is eligible to participate, the number of shares for
which options are to be granted and the amounts that may be exercised within
a specified term.  The option exercise price is generally set by the
Committee at 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date
the option is granted. Substantially all options granted during fiscal 2002,
2001 and 2000 were granted at an exercise price per share equal to the fair
market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  Employee options
generally have vested evenly over five years and have a ten year term and
director options granted prior to fiscal 2001 have vested immediately and
have a five or ten year term.  Director options granted subsequent to fiscal
2000 will vest evenly over five years and have a ten year term.  At November
30, 2002, options for 40.7 million shares were available for future grants
under the above plans.  A summary of the activity and status of our stock
option plans was as follows:
