Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The reporting person may be deemed a member of a Section 13(d) group that owns more than 10% of the trust shares ("Trust Shares") of beneficial interests in P&O Princess Special Voting Trust (the "Trust") and an interest in the Carnival plc special voting share. However, the reporting person disclaims such group membership, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is a member of a Section 13(d) group that owns more than 10% of the Trust Shares and an interest in the Carnival plc special voting share for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(2)	Represents Trust Shares of beneficial interests in the Trust. In connection with the dual listed company transaction between Carnival plc (formerly known as P&O Princess Cruises plc) and Carnival Corporation (the "DLC Transaction"), Carnival plc issued one special voting share to the Trust and, following a series of transactions, the Trust Shares were distributed to holders of common stock of Carnival Corporation (the "Carnival Corporation Common Stock"). Following the completion of the DLC Transaction, if Carnival Corporation issues Carnival Corporation Common Stock to a person, the Trust will issue an equivalent number of Trust Shares to such person. The Trust Shares are paired with shares of Carnival Corporation Common Stock and are represented by the same stock certificate. The Trust Shares represent a beneficial interest in the Carnival plc special voting share.
