Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

      Furnished as exhibit 99.1 to this joint Current Report on Form 8-K are the
"Carnival Corporation & plc Consolidated Statements of Operations," "Segment
Information" and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for each of the three months
ended February 28, 2006, February 28, 2005, May 31, 2005, August 31, 2005 and
November 30, 2005; for the six months ended May 31, 2005, for the nine months
ended August 31, 2005 and for the year ended November 30, 2005.

      These Carnival  Corporation & plc  Consolidated  Statements of Operations,
Segment  Information  and Non-GAAP  Financial  Measures are being  furnished for
informational purposes to reflect the retrospective application of the change in
our method of  accounting  for dry-dock  costs from the  deferral  method to the
direct expense method. In addition, they include the reclassifications made as a
result of our adopting a new chart of accounts in  conjunction  with our initial
implementation of a new worldwide  accounting system in the 2006 second quarter.
These   reclassifications   are  needed  primarily   because  of  the  different
classifications  in prior  periods for certain  revenue and expense  items.  The
implementation  of a global chart of accounts  identified these differences and,
accordingly,  we have recorded these  reclassifications  in the prior periods to
improve comparability.

      In addition on June 16, 2006, Carnival Corporation & plc issued a press
release entitled "Carnival Corporation & plc Reports Second Quarter Earnings." A
copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

      This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by
reference into any filing of either Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc,
whether made before or after the date of this report, regardless of any general
incorporation language in the filing.
