 Exhibit 10.2 
 CARNIVAL CORPORATION 
 2011 STOCK PLAN 

FORM OF EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
 THIS EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [GRANT DATE] (the “Date of Grant”) is made by and between Carnival Corporation, a corporation organized under
the laws of Republic of Panama (the “Company”), and [NAME] (“Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Carnival
Corporation 2011 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which awards of restricted Shares may be granted; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the restricted Shares provided for herein to Executive subject to the terms set forth
herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Grant of Restricted Stock. 


Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to Executive a Restricted Stock
Award consisting of [NUMBER] Shares (the “Restricted Stock”). The Restricted Stock is subject to the restrictions described herein, including forfeiture under the circumstances described in Section 5 hereof (the
“Restrictions”). The Restrictions shall lapse and the Restricted Stock shall become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 and Section 5 hereof. 

 

	2.	Incorporation by Reference, Etc.  

 The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and
any interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Committee
shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon Executive and his legal representative in respect of any
questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. 
  

	3.	Lapse of Restriction. 


Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, the Restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock shall lapse on the third
anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority to remove the Restrictions on the Restricted Stock whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in
circumstances arising after the Grant Date, such action is appropriate. 
 Any shares of Restricted Stock for which the
Restrictions have lapsed or been removed shall be referred to hereunder as “released Restricted Stock.” 
  

	4.	Certificates. 


Certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be issued by the Company and shall be registered in Executive’s name on the stock
transfer books of the Company promptly after the date hereof. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the certificates or book-entry evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the 







 
custody and/or subject to the control of the Company at all times prior to the date such Restricted Stock becomes released Restricted Stock. Pending the release of the Restrictions, the Committee
may require Executive to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock. 

 

	5.	Effect of Termination of Employment. 

 (a) Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate, the Restrictions on the unreleased Restricted Stock shall be released according to the following:

 (i) In the event Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Restrictions on
the Restricted Stock shall lapse on the date of Executive’s death or Disability and the Restricted Stock shall become released Restricted Stock. 
 (ii) In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Combined Group and its Affiliates other than for Cause (as defined below) (and other than by reason of Disability), the Restrictions on
the Restricted Stock shall lapse (and the Restricted Stock shall vest and become released Restricted Stock) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 3 (without regard to the requirement that Executive remain employed by a member of
the Combined Group or an Affiliate); provided, that all unreleased Restricted Stock issued hereunder and all rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited upon Executive’s violation of the provisions of Section 10 (Non-competition)
or Section 11 (Non-disclosure) of this Agreement. 
 (iii) In the event Executive voluntarily terminates
employment as a direct result of Executive being diagnosed with a terminal medical condition, the Restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall lapse (and the Restricted Stock shall vest and become released Restricted Stock) on the earlier of
Executive’s death or the schedule set forth in Section 3; provided, that all unreleased Restricted Stock issued hereunder and all rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited upon Executive’s violation of the provisions of
Section 10 (Non-competition) or Section 11 (Non-disclosure) of this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event Executive attains
Retirement Age while in the employ of the Combined Group or an Affiliate, the Restrictions on 50% of the Restricted Stock shall lapse (and such portion of the Restricted Stock shall vest and become released Restricted Stock) on the date Executive
attains Retirement Age. The Restrictions on the remaining 50% of Restricted Stock shall lapse in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 3. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 5(a) above, no release of Restricted Stock shall be made, and all unreleased Restricted Stock issued hereunder and all
rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited, if any of the following events shall occur: 
 (i)
Executive’s employment with the Combined Group or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause; 
 (ii) Executive
voluntarily terminates employment with the Combined Group and its Affiliates prior to attaining Retirement Age unless such voluntary termination is directly related to death, Disability or Executive being diagnosed with a terminal medical condition;

 (iii) Executive shall engage in competition, as more particularly described in Section 10 hereof, in
violation of the provisions of Section 10, either (A) during the term of his employment with the Combined Group and its Affiliates; (B) following Executive’s voluntary termination of his employment with the Combined Group and its
Affiliates; or (C) following the termination by the Combined Group and its Affiliates of Executive’s employment for any reason; or

	6.	Rights as a Shareholder. 


Executive shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Restricted Stock unless and until (i) the Company shall have
issued the Restricted Stock in accordance with Section 4 hereof and (ii) Executive’s name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record with respect to the Restricted Stock on the books of the Company. Upon the fulfillment of the
conditions in (i) and (ii) of this Section 6, Executive shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock unless and until such shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 5 hereof or sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record
owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive currently the dividends, if any, with respect to the Restricted Stock; provided, that the Restricted
Stock shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth in this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the lapse or removal of Restrictions on any Restricted Stock, the Company shall deliver the released Restricted Stock
to Executive with the restrictive legend removed. In the event the Restricted Stock is forfeited pursuant to Section 5 hereof, Executive’s name shall be removed from the stock transfer books of the Company and all rights of Executive to
such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, the right to any cash dividends and stock dividends, shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. 

 

	7.	Restrictive Legend; Compliance with Legal Requirements. 

 All certificates representing Restricted Stock shall have affixed thereto a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state
securities laws: 
 TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS RESTRICTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE
CARNIVAL CORPORATION 2011 STOCK PLAN, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND AN EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [GRANT DATE], BETWEEN CARNIVAL CORPORATION AND [NAME], COPIES OF SUCH PLAN AND AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE AT THE OFFICES
OF CARNIVAL CORPORATION. 
 The granting and delivery of the Restricted Stock, and any other obligations of the Company under
this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. If the delivery of the Restricted Stock would be
prohibited by law or the Company’s dealing rules, the delivery shall be delayed until the earliest date on which the delivery would not be so prohibited. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period of any Restricted Stock, Executive agrees to
enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with the Plan or this Agreement. 

 

	8.	Transferability. 

 The
Restricted Stock may not, at any time prior to becoming released Restricted Stock, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by Executive, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge,
attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; provided, that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or
encumbrance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unreleased Restricted Stock may be transferred by Executive, without consideration, to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 15(b) of the Plan. 

 

	9.	Withholding; Section 83(b) Election. 

 All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and the Committee may condition the grant and/or delivery of Restricted Stock on
satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Company, Carnival plc or any Affiliate of the Company or Carnival plc has the right, but not the obligation, to withhold or retain any Restricted Stock or other property deliverable to
Executive in connection with the Award of Restricted Stock or from any compensation or other amounts owing to Executive the amount (in cash, Shares or other property) of any required tax withholding in respect of the Restricted Stock and to take
such other action as may be 

  
 3 








 
necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. Executive may make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code in respect of the
Restricted Stock and, if he does so, he shall timely notify the Company of such election and send the Company a copy thereof. Executive shall be solely responsible for properly and timely completing and filing any such election. 

 

	10.	Non-Competition. 

 The
services of Executive are unique, extraordinary and essential to the business of the Combined Group or its Affiliate, particularly in view of Executive’s access to the Combined Group’s or its Affiliates’ confidential information and
trade secrets. Accordingly, in consideration of the Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, Executive agrees that he will not, without the prior written approval of the Board, at any time during the term of his employment with the Combined Group or its
Affiliates and (except as provided below) for the then remaining duration of the Restricted Period on the Restricted Stock, if any, following the date on which Executive’s employment with the Combined Group and its Affiliates terminates,
directly or indirectly, within the cruise industry wherever located, engage in any business activity directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, or serve as an officer, director, owner, consultant,
or employee of any organization then in competition with the Combined Group or its Affiliates. In addition, Executive agrees that during such Restricted Period following his employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates, he will not solicit,
either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, or their respective subsidiaries or divisions, who was such at the time of Executive’s separation from employment. In the event that the provisions of this
Section 10 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic or
other limitations permitted by applicable law. 
  

	11.	Non-Disclosure. 


Executive expressly agrees and understands that the Combined Group or its Affiliates own and/or control information and material which is
not generally available to third parties and which the Combined Group or its Affiliates consider confidential, including, without limitation, methods, products, processes, customer lists, trade secrets and other information applicable to its
business and that it may from time to time acquire, improve or produce additional methods, products, processes, customers lists, trade secrets and other information (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Executive hereby
acknowledges that each element of the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, and that certain items of the Confidential Information have been acquired from third parties upon the
express condition that such items would not be disclosed to the Combined Group or its Affiliates and its officers and agents other than in the ordinary course of business. Executive hereby acknowledges that disclosure of the Combined Group or its
Affiliates’ Confidential Information to and/or use by anyone other than in the Combined Group’s or its Affiliates’ ordinary course of business would result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Combined Group or its Affiliates.
Accordingly, Executive agrees to hold the Confidential Information in the strictest secrecy, and covenants that, during the term of his employment with Combined Group and its Affiliates (or any member of the Combined Group or its Affiliates) or at
any time thereafter, he will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, allow any element of the Confidential Information to be disclosed, published or used, nor permit the Confidential Information to be discussed,
published or used, either by himself or by any third parties, except in effecting Executive’s duties for the Combined Group or its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Executive agrees to keep all such records in connection with
Executive’s employment as the Combined Group or its Affiliates may direct, and all such records shall be the sole and absolute property of the Combined Group or its Affiliates. Executive further agrees that, within five (5) days of the
Combined Group or its Affiliates’ request, he shall surrender to the Combined Group or its Affiliates any and all documents, memoranda, books, papers, letters, price lists, notebooks, reports, logbooks, code books, salesmen records, customer
lists, activity reports, video or 

  
 4 








 
audio recordings, computer programs and any and all other data and information and any and all copies thereof relating to the Combined Group or its Affiliates’ business or any Confidential
Information. 
  

	12.	Clawback/Forfeiture. 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material restatement of the Company’s issued financial
statements, the Committee shall review the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement (including, without limitation any potential wrongdoing by Executive and whether the restatement was the result of negligence or intentional or gross
misconduct) and may in its sole discretion direct the Company to recover all or a portion of any income or gain realized on the vesting of the Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of shares of released Restricted Stock with respect to any fiscal
year in which the Company’s financial results are negatively impacted by such restatement. If the Committee directs the Company to recover any such amount from Executive, then Executive agrees to and shall be required to repay any such amount
to the Company within 30 days after the Company demands repayment. In addition, if the Company is required by law to include an additional “clawback” or “forfeiture” provision to outstanding awards, under the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or forfeiture provision shall also apply to this Agreement as if it had been included on the Grant Date and the Company shall promptly notify Executive of such additional
provision. 
  

	13.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other
right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach
or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach. 
 (b) Notices. Any written notices provided for in
this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business
days after mailing but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to Executive, at Executive’s address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal
executive office. 
 (c) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. 

(d) No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive any
right to continue to serve in the employ of the Company or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge Executive at any time for any reason whatsoever,
with or without Cause. The rights and obligations of Executive under the terms and conditions of Executive’s office or employment shall not be affected by this Agreement. Executive waives all and any rights to compensation and damages in
consequence of the termination of Executive’s office or employment with any member of the Combined Group or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever (whether lawfully or unlawfully) insofar as those rights arise, or may arise, from
Executive’s ceasing to have rights under or Executive’s entitlement to the Restricted Stock under this Agreement as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. In the event of
conflict between the terms of this Section 13(d) and the Participant’s terms of employment, this Section will take precedence. 
 (e) Beneficiary. The Executive may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such
designation. If no designated beneficiary survives Executive, Executive’s estate shall be deemed to be Executive’s beneficiary.

successors and assigns, and on Executive and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of Executive. 
 (h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior
communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted
without consent in accordance with the Plan. 
 (i) Governing Law; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. This Agreement shall
be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT ANY ACTION ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS LITIGATED OR HEARD IN ANY COURT. 

(j) Data Protection. By accepting the grant of the Restricted Stock Executive agrees and consents:
