            Dear [DIRECTOR FIRST NAME]:

            I am pleased to confirm your re-appointment (the “Appointment”) as an executive director of each of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc (collectively, the “Companies”). The terms of the Appointment are set forth below. The Appointment is subject to applicable law and the provisions of the organizational documents of each of the Companies, being the Articles of Incorporation

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

            
                	
                            1.

                        	
                            Term of Appointment

                            The Appointment shall terminate after your resignation, removal, disqualification or death as set forth in the Organizational Documents. It is understood that the Appointment will terminate immediately without any entitlement to further compensation if you are not, re-elected at the annual general meetings of shareholders of the Companies; or are

                            1.2

                        	
                            Upon the termination of the Appointment, you shall (a) cease to be a director of each of the Companies, (b) cease to have any entitlement to compensation other than compensation accrued and unpaid on the date of termination, and (c) deliver to an authorized representative of the Companies all correspondence, documents (including, without limitation,

            “Group”) made or received by you in the course of your directorship (whether before or after the date of this letter).

            
                	
                            1.3

                        	
                            You will at the request of either of the Companies immediately resign (in writing) from the office of executive director of both Companies and any other office with a Group company and you irrevocably authorize the Companies as your attorney in your name and on your behalf to sign all documents and do all things necessary to give effect to
                            this.

                        

            

            
                	
                            2.

                        	
                            Duties

                        

            

            
                	
                            2.1

                        	
                            You shall carry out such duties as set forth in the Organizational Documents and as otherwise agreed to by the Boards (the "Duties"). You shall have all the usual Duties of a executive director under applicable law. In carrying out the Duties, you shall have particular regard to your role as a director in light of the Listing Rules of the UK Listing
                            Rules and Combined Code contained in the Listing Rules from time to time in effect in England and to similar rules, regulations and laws in the United States.

                        

            

            
                	
                            2.2

                        	
                            You are expected to attend all meetings of the Boards of Directors and committees upon which you serve, as well as the annual general meetings of shareholders. In addition, you are expected to devote appropriate preparation time ahead of each meeting. You have been provided with the calendar of Board meetings for the remainder of 2008 and 2009,
                            including the location of each meeting. By accepting the Appointment, you have confirmed that you are able to allocate sufficient time to attend the meetings and otherwise meet the expectations of your role. The agreement of the Chairman and the Presiding Director should be sought (which will not be unreasonably withheld) before accepting additional directorships that might affect the time you are able to devote to your role as an executive director of the
                            Companies.

                        

            

            The Companies acknowledge that you have business interests other than those of the Companies and that you have declared any conflicts that are apparent at present. In the event that you become aware of any potential conflicts of interest, these should be disclosed to the Chairman and the Company Secretary of each of the Companies as soon as they become apparent to you.

            
                	
                            2.3

                        	
                            You will not receive any additional remuneration from the Companies in respect of the Duties or the Appointment.

                        

            

            
                	
                            2.4

                        	
                            You will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of the Duties in accordance with the travel expense reimbursement policy in effect from time to time with your employer. You may be required to submit receipts or other evidence of expenditure prior to any reimbursement pursuant to this clause 2.4.

                        

            

            
                	
                            3.

                        	
                            Confidential Information

                        

            

            
                	
                            3.1

                        	
                            You agree that, during the continuance of the Appointment and afterwards (unless authorised to do so by the Boards or by a court of competent jurisdiction), you will not use for your own or another's benefit or disclose or permit the disclosure of any confidential information of any member of the Group which you have obtained by virtue of the
                            Appointment or your employment by the Companies or in respect of which the

            Companies are bound by an obligation of confidence to a third party. Confidential information shall include, without limitation, lists or details of customers, information relating to the working of any product, process, invention, improvement or development carried on or used by any member of the Group, information relating to research projects, know-how, prices, discounts,
            mark-ups, future business strategy, marketing, tenders, any price sensitive information and information concerning the intellectual property portfolio and strategy of the Companies.

            
                	
                            3.2

                        	
                            The restrictions contained in this clause shall cease to apply to any confidential information which may (other than by reason of your breach of these terms or your general duty of confidentiality) become available to the public generally, but any such use will be subject to any restrictive covenants to which you are a party.

                        

            

            
                	
                            3.3

                        	
                            Your attention is drawn to the requirements under both legislation and regulation as to the disclosure of price-sensitive information. Consequently, you should avoid making any statements that might risk a breach of these requirements without prior clearance from the Chairman or Company Secretary.

                            Indemnity

                        

            

            In the event that you (or your heirs, executors or administrators) are made a party or are threatened to be made a party to or witness in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that you are or were a director of either of the Companies, Carnival Corporation shall (i) indemnify
            you against all expenses of any kind whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and expenses to enforce this indemnity), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred by you in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) pay or advance to you in advance of final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, within 20 days of the submission of an invoice therefore, all such expenses incurred in connection therewith, in each case of (i) and (ii) to
            the fullest extent and in the manner set forth in and permitted by the General Corporation Law of the Republic of Panama and any other applicable law, as from time to time in effect. Such right of indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which you may be entitled apart from the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this Section 4, and Section 5 below, shall survive the termination of the letter and shall continue to be
            binding on Carnival Corporation until the later of (a) six years after the date that you cease to serve as a director of either of the Companies and (b) the final termination of all proceedings pending or threatened on the sixth anniversary of your termination of service to which you are entitled to indemnification hereunder.

            
                	
                            5.

            To the extent possible, Carnival Corporation will maintain appropriate directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for your benefit in an amount which is not less than the current coverage as of the date of this letter for directors of each of the Companies in respect of events occurring in respect of your service as a director of each of the Companies or its
            subsidiaries, unless Carnival Corporation in good faith determines (and

             

            3

             

            
            

            

             

            so notifies you reasonably in advance) that such insurance is not reasonably available or that the premiums therefore are disproportionate to the benefits.

            
                	
                            6.

                        	
                            Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

                            7.

                    (a)          Consultant
expressly covenants and agrees that Consultant will not, during the Term and
for a period of one (1) year thereafter, directly or indirectly, as owner,
partner, joint venturer, stockholder, employee, broker, agent, principal,
trustee, corporate officer or director, licensor or in any capacity whatsoever
engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by, render consulting
services to, or have any connection with, any business engaged in the design,
development, marketing, installation or support of warehouse management systems
or other computer integrated or turnkey systems or any business which provides
products or services which are directly competitive with the Company’s products
or services as they exist on the date of this Agreement in the United States; provided,
however, that Consultant may own any securities of any corporation which
is engaged in such business and is publicly owned and traded but in an amount
not to exceed at any one time three percent (3%) of any class of stock or
securities of such company.

                    (b)          If
any portion of the restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) should, for any
reason whatsoever, be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such restrictions shall not
thereby be adversely affected.

                    (c)          Consultant
declares that the foregoing time limitations are reasonable and properly
required for the adequate protection of the business of the Company. In the
event any such territorial or time limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant agrees to the reduction of either
said territorial or time limitation to such area or period which said court
shall have deemed reasonable.

                    (d)          The
existence of any claim or cause of action by Consultant against the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company other than under this Agreement shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company or any such subsidiary
of the foregoing restrictive covenants, but such claim or cause of action shall
be litigated separately.

                    (e)          Subject
to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Consultant from
accepting any employment or consulting engagements of any kind or from
otherwise accepting any business opportunity.
