CONFLICTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH
Africa, coupled with the nuclear disaster in
Japan, have resulted in nearly 300
deployment changes for the 100 vessels
under the Carnival Corporation banner.
The figures were released as part of the
company’s revised March Guidance, in
which Carnival said it had underestimated
the “full impact of these events on its
second half earnings” (with the March
Guidance coming only one week after the
bulk of itinerary changes and a few days
after the Japanese earthquake).
As a result, Carnival said it expects the
deployment changes to cost the company an
additional $0.15 per share for the second
half of 2011.
