related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company, Carnival Corp. or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company and Carnival Corp., threatened.

(kk) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or Carnival Corp. delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company and Carnival Corp. to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby as of the date or dates indicated in such certificate.

2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company at the purchase price for the Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase price for the Securities does not reflect payment of an aggregate of €150,000 by the Company to the Co-Managers identified in Schedule IV.

3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made on the date and at the time specified in Schedule II hereto, which date and time may be postponed to a date not later than five Business Days after such specified date by agreement among the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 8 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in immediately available funds (unless another form of payment is specified in Schedule II hereto). Delivery of the Securities shall be made through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

4. Agreements. (i) The Company and Carnival Corp. agree with the several Underwriters that:

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, neither the Company nor Carnival Corp. will file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus) to the Base Prospectus unless the Company or Carnival Corp. has furnished you a copy for your review a reasonable amount of time prior to filing or will file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object on a timely basis (other than filings of documents pursuant to Section 13(a), 14 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act). Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company and Carnival Corp. will cause the Final Prospectus,

properly completed, and any supplement thereto, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company or Carnival Corp. will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information relating to the offering of the Securities, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company or Carnival Corp. of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. Each of the Company or Carnival Corp. will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of the Securities, in the form attached hereto as Schedule IV and the Company will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule. Any such final term sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If there occurs an event or development as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented and will promptly prepare, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement.

(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company and Carnival Corp. promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment, supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(e) As soon as practicable, the Company and Carnival Corp. will make generally available to their respective securityholders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of each of the Company and Carnival Corp. and their respective subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(f) Each of the Company and Carnival Corp. will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Securities to be duly authorized for listing or trading on the NYSE and to be registered under the Exchange Act.

(g) The proceeds of the offering of the Securities will be applied as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

(h) The Company and Carnival Corp. will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(i) The Company and Carnival Corp. will pay and bear all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits), the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, and the cost of furnishing copies thereof to the Underwriters, (ii) the preparation, printing and distribution of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities and any Blue Sky Survey, (iii) the delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s and Carnival Corp.’s counsel and the accountants required hereby to provide “comfort letters,” (v) the qualification of the Securities under the applicable securities laws in accordance with Section 4(j) and any filing for review of the offering with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with any Blue Sky Survey and any Legal Investment Survey, (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities, (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee, in connection with the Indenture and the Securities, (viii) the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Paying Agent, in connection with the Agency Agreement (ix) any expenses and listing fees in connection with the listing of the Securities on

the NYSE, (x) the cost and charges of any transfer agent or registrar and (xi) the costs of qualifying the Securities with Euroclear and Clearstream. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section and Section 6 hereof, the Underwriters shall, severally, pay the fees and disbursements of their counsel and the transfer taxes on the resale of any Securities by them in the same proportion as the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto.

(j) The Company and Carnival Corp. will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for distribution, offering and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities and will arrange for the determination of the legality of the Securities for purchase by institutional investors; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Carnival Corp. shall be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(j), (ii) file any general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject.

(k) The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus, other than (i) the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 4(b) hereto, (ii) a Free Writing Prospectus that contains only the preliminary terms of the Securities or their offering or information that is included in the Preliminary Prospectus or the final term sheet or (iii) term sheets containing customary pricing terms that are not required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule V hereto. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus other than any term sheets containing customary pricing terms referred to in clause (iii) above as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus other than any term sheets containing customary pricing terms referred to in clause (iii) above, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(l) The Company agrees to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1).

(m) The Company shall comply with the terms of any lock-up agreement specified in Schedule II hereto with respect to sales and dispositions of the underwritten Securities.

(n) In connection with the offering of the Securities, until the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters shall have notified the Company of the completion of the resale of the Securities, neither the Company nor any of its controlled subsidiaries has or will, either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase, for any account in which it or any of its controlled subsidiaries has a beneficial interest, any Securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any Securities; and neither it nor any of its controlled subsidiaries will make bids or purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or of raising the price of, the Securities.

(o) The Company and Carnival Corp. hereby authorize Citigroup Global Markets Limited in its role as stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing Manager”) to make adequate public disclosure of the information required in relation to such stabilization by any applicable law or regulation. The Stabilizing Manager for its own account may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and directives, over-allot and effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail, but in doing so the Stabilizing Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Company and Carnival Corp. and any loss resulting from overallotment and stabilization shall be borne, and any profit arising therefrom shall be beneficially retained, by the Stabilizing Manager. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) will undertake any stabilization action. Any such stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Securities is made, and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue of the Securities and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Securities. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed so as to require the Company to issue in excess of €600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities. Such stabilization, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and shall be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager in accordance with all applicable laws and directives.

(p) The Company and Carnival Corp. shall be liable to pay to and reimburse the Underwriters the amount of all stamp, transfer, issue, registration, documentary and other Taxes (excluding any Taxes imposed on the net income of any Underwriter) which may be payable upon or in connection with the creation, issue, offering and sale of the Securities to the Underwriters, and the execution and delivery of, this Agreement and the Company and Carnival Corp. shall agree to indemnify the Underwriters against any claim, demand, action, liability, damages, cost, loss or expense (including, without limitation, legal and other advisory fees (and any irrevocable value added tax thereon)) which the Underwriters may incur as a result of or arising out of or in relation to any failure to pay or delay in paying any of the same.

(q) The Company shall use all commercially reasonable endeavors to ensure that: (I) the Securities remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange (or other “recognised stock exchange” as defined in s.1005 of the United Kingdom Income Tax Act 2007 (“ITA”)); and (II) any other conditions required to benefit from the exemption set out in s.987 ITA are satisfied.

(r) All payments made by the Company or Carnival Corp., as applicable, under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction in which the Company or Carnival Corp., as applicable, is organized, resident, doing business or has an office or taxable presence, from which the payment is made or deemed to be made, excluding (i) any such Tax imposed solely by reason of an Underwriter having some connection with any such jurisdiction other than its participation as an Underwriter hereunder, and (ii) any income or franchise tax imposed on the overall net income of an Underwriter imposed as a result of such Underwriter being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, or any political subdivision thereof, (all such non-excluded Taxes, “Foreign Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Company and Carnival Corp. agree to pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the relevant Underwriter of such amount as would have been received by it if no such withholding or deduction for Foreign Taxes had been required. If the Company or Carnival Corp. pays any such additional amount and the relevant Underwriter subsequently obtains a refund of Tax or credit against Tax by reason of the Company or Carnival Corp. making the deduction or withholding which gave rise to that additional amount, the relevant Underwriter shall reimburse the Company or Carnival Corp. (as applicable) as soon as reasonably practicable with such amount as the relevant Underwriter shall determine in good faith to be such proportion of the said refund or credit as shall leave the relevant Underwriter after such reimbursement in no better or worse position (having regard to the time value of money) than it would have been in had no deduction or withholding been required.

(ii) The Underwriters agree with the Company that they will conduct the offering of the Securities in a manner that is consistent with the description of the offering contained in the Disclosure Package.

5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and Carnival Corp. contained herein (or the accuracy in all material respects with respect to any representation or warranty on the part of the Company and Carnival Corp. which has no materiality qualification) as of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company and Carnival Corp. made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by each of the Company and Carnival Corp. of its obligations hereunder, to the due execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Agency Agreement, to the absence of any event or condition which would give you the right to terminate this Agreement and to the following additional conditions:

(a) The Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the final term sheet contemplated by Section 4(b) hereto, and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and at the Closing Date no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued under the Act or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission.

(b) At the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to you the opinion of the General Counsel to the Company and Carnival Corp., or an Associate or Deputy General Counsel to the Company and Carnival Corp. that practices in the area of corporate and securities law, dated the Closing Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(d) The Underwriters shall have received from Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Company and Carnival Corp. shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(e) The Company and Carnival Corp. shall have furnished to the Underwriters a certificate of the Company and of Carnival Corp., signed by any two officers of the Company and Carnival Corp., each of whom is a Vice President, Senior Vice President or Executive Vice President of the Company and Carnival Corp., dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments to any of the foregoing and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company and Carnival Corp. in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and each of the Company and Carnival Corp. has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the Company has made all filings with the Commission and announcements, in either case required to be made by the Act or the Exchange Act.

(f) The Underwriters shall have received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm for the Company and Carnival Corp. at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, dated as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent auditors with respect to the Company and Carnival Corp. within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable published rules and regulations thereunder and containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountant’s “comfort letters” to underwriters, delivered according to Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72 (or any successor bulletin), with respect to the audited, unaudited and pro forma financial statements, as applicable, and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus.

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any decrease or increase specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 5 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business (including the results of operations or management) or

properties of the Company or Carnival Corp. and their respective subsidiaries taken as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(h) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package, subsequent to the Execution Time, (i) there shall not have been any downgrade in the credit ratings of any of the Company’s or Carnival Corp.’s debt securities by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives and such cancellation shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except to the extent provided in Sections 4 and 6. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

6. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated (i) because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied , (ii) because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or Carnival Corp. to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters or (iii) because this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9(i)(a) hereof, the Company and Carnival Corp. will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and including any applicable irrevocable value added tax) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

7. Indemnification. (a) The Company and Carnival Corp., jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including Tax), joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” approved or permitted by the Company and filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse any Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Carnival Corp. shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or Carnival Corp. on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein (it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished on behalf of any underwriter consists of such information as is indicated in Section 7(b) below).

Insofar as this Section 7 may permit indemnification for liabilities under the Act of any person who is a partner of Merrill Lynch International or who controls Merrill Lynch International within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and who, at the date of this Agreement, is a director or officer of the Company or Carnival Corp., or controls Company or Carnival Corp. within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, this Section 7 is subject to the undertakings of the Company and Carnival Corp. in the Registration Statement under Item 17 thereof.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Carnival Corp. against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or Carnival Corp. may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including Tax) (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

statements therein not misleading, or (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or Carnival Corp. on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein (it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters, the seventh, eighth and ninth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, concerning short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales by the Underwriters, and “and routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies” in the third sentence of the first paragraph and the fourth and fifth sentences of the first paragraph under the sub-caption “Other Relationships” in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, concerning hedging by the Underwriters); and will reimburse the Company or Carnival Corp., as applicable, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or Carnival Corp. in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except and then only to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or

compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise of or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any such action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Carnival Corp. on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable, such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Carnival Corp. on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and Carnival Corp. on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or Carnival Corp. on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, Carnival Corp. and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), an Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by it to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

FORM OF OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL

1. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

2. Carnival Corporation is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

3. To my knowledge, and subject to the assumption below, the issuance and sale of the Securities, the compliance by the Company and Carnival Corporation with all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of a lien or security interest under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company, Carnival Corporation or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company, Carnival Corporation or any Significant Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the property or assets used in the conduct of the business of the Company, Carnival Corporation or any Significant Subsidiary is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of Carnival Corporation, or the charter, by-laws or similar organizational documents of any Significant Subsidiary or any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, Carnival Corporation or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their properties.

4. Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company, Carnival Corporation or any of their Significant Subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company, Carnival Corporation or any of their Significant Subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company, Carnival Corporation or any of their Significant Subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect and, to the best of my knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

5. Each document filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and Final Prospectus (except in each case for the financial statements and other financial data included or incorporated therein, as to which I express no opinion) appeared on its face, as of its respective filing date, to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

FORM OF OPINION OF PAUL, WEISS, RIFKIND, WHARTON & GARRISON LLP

1. The Notes, when duly authenticated by the Trustee, and duly issued and delivered by the Company against payment as provided in the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except that the enforceability of the Notes may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and the Notes, when issued and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Description of Debt Securities of Carnival plc” and “Description of the Notes.”

2. When the Notes are duly issued and delivered by the Company against payment as provided in the Underwriting Agreement, each Guarantee of the Guarantor will be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except that enforceability of the Guarantee may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and the Guarantees, when issued and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Description of Debt Securities of Carnival plc” and “Description of the Notes.”

3. The Indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except that the enforceability of the Indenture may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and the Indenture conforms in all material respects to its description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the captions “Description of Debt Securities of Carnival plc” and “Description of the Notes.” The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

4. The Agency Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except that the enforceability of the Agency Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except to the extent that the indemnification provisions of the Agency Agreement may be unenforceable.

5. The statements in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the heading “Material U.K. Tax, U.S. Federal Income Tax, E.U. Tax and Panamanian Tax Consequences —United States” to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal law or regulation or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly summarize the matters described under that heading in all material respects.

6. The Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue times, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from any of them and the Form T-1, as to which we express no opinion.

7. The issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees by the Company and the Guarantor, the compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement, the Notes and the Guarantees and the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their obligations thereunder will not violate Applicable Law or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbitrator listed on Schedule II hereto, except where the violation could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, the Guarantor and their subsidiaries taken as a whole. For purposes of this letter, the term “Applicable Law” means those laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York, in each case which in our experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement, the Notes and the Guarantees except that “Applicable Law” does not include federal securities laws (except for purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 8 below) or state securities laws, anti-fraud laws, or any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company and the Guarantor, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Underwriting Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Underwriting Agreement or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

8. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made, is required by the Company or the Guarantor under any Applicable Law for the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees by the Company and the Guarantor or the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their respective obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement, the Notes and the Guarantees other than any filing with the Commission on Form 8-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this letter, the term “Governmental Authority” means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America.

9. The Company and the Guarantor are not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes, and the application of their proceeds as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” neither the Company nor the Guarantor will be required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

FORM OF OPINION OF FRESHFIELDS BRUCKHAUS DERINGER LLP

1. the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in Great Britain and registered in England and Wales as a public limited company with corporate power and authority to own and lease properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus or the Underwriting Agreement, and has the corporate power and authority to execute the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement and the Securities and to perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement and the Securities;

2. the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities have been duly authorised and executed by the Company;

3. no consents, licences, approvals, authorisations, orders, registrations or qualifications of or with any United Kingdom governmental or regulatory agency or body known to us are required to be obtained or made by the Company by English law on or prior to the date hereof for the execution and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement or the Securities or for the issuance and sale of the Securities;

4. the execution and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Agency Agreement or the Securities or the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company does not violate the Articles of Association or the laws of England and Wales applicable thereto;

5. a final judgment of the courts of New York in relation to the obligations of the Company under the Underwriting Agreement, Indenture, the Agency Agreement and Securities will not be automatically enforceable in England, but a final and conclusive judgment for a debt or definite sum of money will be recognised and enforced in England, provided that the party against whom the judgment was given properly submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of that State, which had jurisdiction under its own laws, (otherwise section 32 of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 prevents recognition and enforcement of a foreign judgment) and none of the following circumstances apply:

(a)	the judgment was procured by fraud;

(b)

the judgment was given contrary to the English rules of natural justice, in that a defendant was deprived of notice of, or an adequate opportunity to take part in the proceedings, or substantial justice, in that the defendant did not have the opportunity to correct procedural irregularities under the laws of the court giving judgment;

(c)	recognition of the judgment would be contrary to English public policy;

(d)	recognition of the judgment would violate the Human Rights Act 1998;

(e)	the judgment conflicts with an English judgment or a foreign judgment given earlier in time that is enforceable in an English court;

(f)	the proceedings that resulted in the judgment were brought in breach of a binding arbitration agreement;

enforcement of the judgment would contravene the Protection of Trading Interests Act 1980, section 5 of which precludes, amongst other things, the enforcement in the United Kingdom of any judgment given by a court of an overseas country which is a judgment for multiple damages which exceed the compensatory element of the judgment award; or

(i)	recognition or enforcement of the judgment would be contrary to the terms of the Administration of Justice Act 1920 or the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933;

6. the choice of law of New York to govern the Underwriting Agreement, Indenture, the Agency Agreement and Securities will be recognised and upheld by the English courts; and

7. as of the date hereof the statements contained in the Prospectus in the paragraph headed “United Kingdom” within the section entitled “Material U.K. Tax, U.S. Federal Income Tax, E.U.

EXHIBIT E

FORM OF OPINION OF TAPIA, LINARES & ALFARO LLP

The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the Republic of Panama, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own, lease, license and use its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement, the Indenture (including the Guarantee), and the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture (including the Guarantee) and the Agency Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Company.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Indenture (including the Guarantee) do not violate the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or the laws of the Republic of Panama applicable thereto.

Assuming that the Guarantee is given under the circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, no consent or action of, or filing or registration with, any governmental or public regulatory body or authority in the Republic of Panama, is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of, the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Indenture (including the Guarantee).

Because the Company conducts its operations outside Panama, there is no withholding or other tax, assessment, or governmental charge imposed by Panama or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein on account of the Underwriting Agreement, or any payments thereon or thereunder. The Underwriting Agreement is not subject to any stamp or documentary tax or other similar charge imposed by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company, including but not limited to any registration or stamp tax of the Republic of Panama or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with the execution, issuance, delivery, performance, enforcement or introduction into evidence in a court of the Republic of Panama of the Underwriting Agreement, save for a stamp tax at the rate of US$0.10 for each US$100.00 of the face value of the obligations evidenced in such documents which may be levied in the event that they are submitted for enforcement before any administrative or judicial authority in the Republic of Panama.

6.	Interests paid on the Notes will not be subject to taxation under the laws of Panama. Also, the Company’s income will not be subject to significant taxation under the laws of Panama, as long as the Company’s income is produced outside the territory of the Republic of Panama.

Neither the Company nor any of its property has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) under the laws of the Republic of Panama, with respect to its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Indenture (including the Guarantee).

8.	The choice of New York law to govern the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Indenture (including the Guarantee) is, under the laws of the Republic of Panama, a valid, effective and irrevocable choice of law.

Any final judgment rendered by any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York in an action to enforce the obligations of the Company under the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Indenture (including the Guarantee) is capable of being enforced in the courts of the Republic of Panama without retrial of the originating action, by instituting exequatur proceedings in the Supreme Court of Panama upon determination by such court that:

the courts of the judgment country would in similar circumstances recognize a final and conclusive judgment of the Courts of Panama;

ii.

the judgment has been issued as a consequence of an action “in personam”;

iii.

the judgment was rendered after personal service on the defendant, having the court of jurisdiction ordered the same, except in the case where the exequatur is being sought by the defendant in contempt of court;

iv.

the cause of action upon which judgment was based does not contravene the public policy of Panama; and

the documents evidencing the judgment are in authentic form according to the laws of the judgment country and have been duly legalized by Consul of Panama or with the Apostille.

10.

To our knowledge, the Company is not in violation of, or in default with respect to, any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree of the Republic of Panama, except as may be properly described in the Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference therein or such as in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

11.

We qualify our opinion to the extent that enforceability of rights and remedies provided for in the Underwriting Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Indenture, may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles to the extent equitable remedies are sought.
