MIAMI (February 25, 2009) - On February 24, 2009, Bedell Trustees Limited (the
"Trust") announced that David Dingle, Chief Executive Officer of Carnival UK,
exercised 3,441 share awards over plc Shares granted under the Carnival plc
Deferred Bonus and Co-Investment Matching Plan ("Deferred Bonus Plan") and the

Following the above transaction, Mr. Dingle continues to have an interest in
share awards over 4,046 plc Shares granted to him pursuant to the rules of the
Deferred Bonus Plan.

granted under the Deferred Bonus Plan. Despite the technical interest in the
plc Shares, Mr. Dingle is only entitled to receive from the Trust the number of
plc Shares to which he would be entitled on exercise of an award which has been
granted to him.

This notification relates to disclosures made in accordance with 3.1.4(R)(1)(a)
