Executive Long-Term Compensation Agreements
We entered into Executive Long-Term Compensation Agreements (the
"Compensation Agreements") with Micky Arison, our Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, Howard S. Frank, our Vice Chairman of the Board and
Chief Operating Officer, and Robert H. Dickinson, President and Chief
Operating Officer of CCL (each an "Officer"). The Compensation Agreements
provide that during the term of such Officer's employment, we will provide
long-term compensation (in addition to his annual compensation consisting of
a base salary and annual bonus, which in the case of Mr. Dickinson is awarded
under the 1994 Carnival Cruise Lines Key Management Incentive Plan) in the
form of annual grants to each Officer, contingent upon satisfactory
performance, as follows: Mr. Arison, 60,000 restricted shares of common stock
and 120,000 options to purchase common stock; Mr. Frank, 50,000 restricted
shares of common stock and 100,000 options to purchase common stock; and Mr.
Dickinson, 40,000 restricted shares of common stock and 80,000 options to
purchase common stock.
The options vest in five equal annual installments beginning one year
from the date of grant and the restricted shares of common stock vest five
years from the date of grant. Unvested options and restricted shares of
common stock are forfeited if an Officer's employment is terminated for cause,
if he engages in competition with us or if he violates the nondisclosure
provisions of the Compensation Agreement.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Effective December 1, 1999, we
established the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") to provide
benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated employees.
Currently only Robert H. Dickinson and Howard S. Frank are eligible to
participate. The SERP provides a benefit equal to 50% of cash compensation
(as defined in the SERP) reduced proportionately for each year of service less
than 25. The SERP provides an early retirement benefit at age 55 after
completion of 15 years of service, subject to a reduction of 3% for each year
that the participant retires before age 65. The SERP benefit is offset for
any benefit payable under the Pension Plan described below and for Social
Security benefits. The form of payment is either a lump-sum, life annuity
(with either a 5-year or 10-year certain benefit) or a joint and survivor
annuity for married participants.
Employment Agreement. In May 2002, we entered into a five-year employment
agreement with Mr. Foschi, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Costa
Crociere S.p.A. The employment agreement provides that during its term we
will provide a base salary of 657,000 euros per year, which may be subject to
increases at the discretion of the board of Costa Crociere S.p.A., performance
based compensation based on the net income of Costa Crociere S.p.A., non-
competition compensation of 115,000 euros per year and certain fringe
benefits. The employment agreement also contains confidentiality provisions.
Retirement and Consulting Agreement. In 1999 and years prior thereto, Mr.
Lanterman deferred receipt of a portion of his bonus. In exchange, we and Mr.
Lanterman entered into a Retirement and Consulting Agreement which provides
that we will pay him the deferred amounts plus interest in monthly
installments over the 15 years following his retirement. Mr. Lanterman is
also required to provide us with up to five hours of consulting services per
month during the term of the Retirement and Consulting Agreement.
DEFINED BENEFIT AND OTHER PLANS
The following table sets forth estimated pension benefits payable at age 65
(the "Normal Retirement Date"), pursuant to our nonqualified pension plan
adopted by us effective January 1, 1989 (the "Pension Plan"). The Pension
Plan provides an early retirement benefit at age 55 after completion of 15
years of service, subject to a reduction of .5% for each month that
distribution of benefits precedes the participant's Normal Retirement Date.

A participant's benefits under the Pension Plan are calculated based on
an employee's length of service with us and the average of the participant's
five highest consecutive years of compensation (including base pay, overtime,
bonuses and commissions) out of the last ten years of service. The eligible
compensation with respect to the individuals named in the Summary Compensation
Table would include substantially the same types and amounts of annual
compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table.
The normal form of payment is a straight life annuity with benefits
ceasing at the later of the death of the participant or five years from the
date of first payment. If the employee is married, pension benefits are
presumptively payable on a reduced 50% joint and survivor annuity basis with
the employee's spouse as the contingent annuitant. If the employee is not
married, pension benefits are paid as a lump sum to the participant's
beneficiary or estate, as applicable. For retired or terminated employees,
other forms of distribution are available under the Pension Plan.
The Pension Plan does not reduce benefits on account of Social Security
(or any other benefit), other than as reflected in the benefit formula which
is integrated with Social Security.
As of December 31, 2002, the years of credited service under the Pension
Plan for each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table, except for A. Kirk Lanterman and Pier Luigi Foschi who are not eligible
for participation in the Pension Plan, was as follows: Micky Arison, age 53,
with 28 credited years of service; Robert H. Dickinson, age 60, 28 years; and
Howard S. Frank, age 61, 14 years. In consideration of Mr. Frank's forfeiture
of retirement benefits from his prior employer, on April 17, 1995, the
Compensation Committee approved an agreement with Mr. Frank whereby we agreed
to compensate Mr. Frank upon his retirement for benefits he would have
received under the Pension Plan if he had been credited with an additional 13
years of service in addition to the actual years of credited service, reduced
by the amounts payable to him under the Pension Plan.
We have also established a 401(k)/profit sharing plan and a nonqualified
savings/profit sharing plan. At the time of its establishment, participants
in the nonqualified employee pension plan chose either to remain in the
nonqualified employee pension plan with limited participation in the
nonqualified savings plan or to freeze participation in the nonqualified
pension plan and fully participate in the nonqualified savings/profit sharing
plan.

is granted an option to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock annually at the
time he or she is elected to the Board of Directors by the shareholders or at
such other time during the year approved by the Board of Directors. The
exercise price of each option granted under the Outside Director Plan is equal

The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be made subject to
options under the Outside Director Plan is 800,000. The Outside Director Plan

The Trust Registration Rights Agreement provides that if, at any time,
any of the Trusts makes a written demand for the registration of its Shares,

Trusts are included in the demand for registration. In addition, if we
determine to file a registration statement on its behalf or on behalf of any
security holders (other than a registration statement filed for the purpose
of registering shares issuable to employees under an employee benefit plan,
or in connection with a business combination) relating to our common stock or
any class of securities convertible into our common stock, either of the
Trusts may register its Shares pursuant to such registration statement,
subject to certain limitations. We have agreed to bear all expenses relating
to such demand and piggyback registrations, except for fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Trusts, underwriting discounts and applicable filing fees.
Under a registration rights agreement (the "Arison Registration Rights
Agreement"), we granted certain registration rights to Ted Arison with respect
to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by him (the "Arison Shares")
in consideration for $10,000. The registration rights were held by the Estate
of Ted Arison. The Estate of Ted Arison subsequently transferred the Arison
Shares to The 1997 Irrevocable Trust of Micky Arison, the Ted Arison 1992
Irrevocable Trust for Lin No. 2, the Ted Arison 1994 Irrevocable Trust for
Shari No. 1 and the Michael Arison 1999 Irrevocable Delaware Trust
(collectively, the "Family Trusts"). The registration rights specified in the
Arison Registration Rights Agreement apply to the Arison Shares that were
transferred to the Family Trusts and can be exercised by the Family Trusts.
If, at any time, a Family Trust makes a written demand for the registration
of any number of the Arison Shares, subject to a minimum amount of 2,000,000
shares, we will within 90 days prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a registration statement, subject to certain limitations.
In addition, if we determine to file a registration statement on our behalf
or on behalf of any security holders (other than a registration statement
filed for the purpose of registering shares issuable to employees under an
employee benefit plan or in connection with a business combination) relating
to our common stock or any class of securities convertible into common stock,
a Family Trust may register its Arison Shares pursuant to such registration
statement, subject to certain limitations. We have agreed to bear all
expenses relating to such demand and piggyback registrations, except for fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Family Trusts, selling costs,
underwriting discounts and applicable filing fees.
Transactions with Cruise Specialists. Janet Olczak Lanterman, the wife of A.
Kirk Lanterman, one of our executive officers and a director, is the owner of
a travel agency located in Seattle, Washington, named Cruise Specialists.
Under the laws of the State of Washington, Ms. Lanterman's ownership interest
in Cruise Specialists is her separate property and, accordingly, Mr. Lanterman
does not have any ownership interest in the agency. Cruise Specialists sells
cruises and other similar products for various travel providers, including us,
under arrangements that are common throughout the travel industry whereby
Cruise Specialists receives a commission based on sales generated. In fiscal
2002, Cruise Specialists generated approximately $16.6 million of gross
revenues (before commission) for us. In connection with such revenues, Cruise
Specialists received commissions of approximately $2.6 million from us. We
believe that the commissions paid to Cruise Specialists are comparable to
those paid to other travel agents for comparable services.
Loan to Pamela C. Conover. On July 22, 2002, we entered into a loan agreement
with Pamela C. Conover, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cunard Line
Limited. The loan is set up as a line of credit for $250,000. Repaid amounts
may not be reborrowed. Interest on amounts borrowed accrues at 2.82% per
annum. Principal and accrued interest due under the loan are payable upon
demand.
Transaction with Trustees. James M. Dubin is the sole shareholder of JMD
Delaware, Inc., JMD Protector, Inc. and Balluta Limited, which act either as
trustee or protector of certain Arison family trusts. By virtue of being the
sole shareholder of JMD Delaware, Inc., JMD Protector, Inc. and Balluta
Limited, Mr. Dubin may be deemed to own the aggregate of 142,111,562 shares
of our common stock beneficially owned by such entities, as to which he
disclaims beneficial ownership. He is a partner in the New York law firm of
Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, which firm serves as counsel to
us, Micky Arison and Shari Arison.
Other Transactions. Certain transactions involving Sherwood M. Weiser and Uzi
Zucker are described in in "Item 11. Executive Compensation-Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation."
Transactions with Affiliated Entities. We have adopted a policy of dealing
with affiliated entities on an arms-length basis and we may not engage in
business transactions with any affiliate on terms and conditions less
favorable to us than terms and conditions available at the time for comparable
transactions with unaffiliated persons.
