AVAILABLE IN CONJUCTION WITH CARNIVAL MIRACLE CRUISES

Top Courses, Professional Instruction Featured Within Comprehensive Golf
Program Aboard Carnival's Newest 'Fun Ship'

MIAMI (11/18/03) - Carnival Miracle's diverse schedule for 2004 - which includes cruises to the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico and Florida from four convenient U.S. departure points - not only provides guests the opportunity to visit spectacular destinations but also to play some of the regions' most beautiful and challenging golf courses.
Currently under construction in Helsinki, Finland, the new 2,124-passenger "Fun Ship" is slated to debut Feb. 27, 2004 with the first in a series of 12 three- to six-day voyages from Jacksonville, Fla. Following these cruises, Carnival Miracle will operate week-long round-trip cruises from Baltimore and New York then launch year-round seven-day service
from Tampa Nov. 7, 2004.

The golf courses featured within Carnival Miracle's itineraries are part of the line's comprehensive golf academy offering professional instructors who provide lessons aboard ship and escort golfers during shoreside golf excursions. The program is managed by Sunrise, Fla.-based Elite Golf Cruises LLC. Featured courses in the Carnival Miracle's golf program include:

Key West Country Club - Key West (Jacksonville and Baltimore departures) - The southernmost golf course in the continental U.S. is built upon more than 200 acres of native foliage with stately palms, dense mangroves, and rolling hills, which, combined with its challenging layout, adds up to an unforgettable golf outing.

Cable Beach Golf Course - Nassau (Jacksonville, Baltimore and New York departures) - This newly renovated "resort friendly" course is perfectly suited to golfers of all levels, including beginners, with spacious fairways, large greens and a minimum of sand bunkers. Although Cable Beach is a relatively short 6,453 yards, it encourages strong hitters
to shave strokes with long, well-placed drives.

Cozumel Country Club - Cozumel (Jacksonville and Tampa departures) - Created by the Nicklaus design team, this is the island's first and only championship-caliber course. Incorporating the natural habitat of the island, the 6,724-yard course was built around native trees, mangroves and wetlands, creating a truly spectacular golf venue. A "must
play" for the vacationing golfer.

Lucayan Country Club - Freeport (Jacksonville, Baltimore and New York departures) - With elevated greens, tight doglegs, narrow fairways and deep rough, this 6,824-yard course is a test of precision rather than distance. This Bahamian beauty is affiliated with the Audubon Society and designed by Dick Wilson, creator of the famed Bay Hill in Orlando and Doral's legendary Blue Monster.

Savannahs at Sykes Creek - Port Canaveral, Fla. (New York departures) - Nestled among a majestic hardwood forest and serene lakes, Savannahs provides a formidable challenge that emphasizes and rewards accuracy. Notable holes include #7, where golfers tee off over water and onto a two-tiered green, and #11, which requires a long accurate drive to make par.

The Links at Safe Haven - Grand Cayman (Tampa departures) - The island's only full-length 18-hole championship course, The Links at Safe Haven features undulating greens, natural trade winds, and a lay-out reminiscent of old Scottish courses. The site of the 1997 Caribbean Open, the course has been named the "Caribbean's Best Golf Course" by Caribbean World Magazine five times.

Caye Chapel Golf Resort - Belize (Tampa departures) - This spectacular 6,800-yard championship course offers ocean views at virtually every turn and has received international acclaim for its creative yet challenging lay-out, beautifully manicured greens and fairways, and Caribbean Sea vistas. Adding to the day's fun is an exhilarating plane
transfer, which is included in the price.

Playacar Club de Golf - Playa del Carmen (Jacksonville departure of March 6 only) - Designed by renowned course architect Robert Von Hagge, this 7,202-yard course meanders through the lush Mayan jungle with tight fairways and many doglegs. A unique feature is the many large depressions throughout the course that makes for a memorable round. Price includes on-course food and beverages.

Private or group shipboard lessons are available in 30- and 60-minute increments and conducted by a certified golf professional who utilizes state-of-the-art "V1" teaching software featuring side-by-side comparisons to golf legends and top tour players. Shipboard lessons take place in covered "learning centers" which are lighted for daytime and evening instruction. Golfers can purchase a personalized video recap of their
lessons and even continue their instruction when they return home with customized "V1" Web-based software. Shipboard golf professionals also conduct complimentary putting contests on sea days; specialty clinics and group demonstrations are available for a
nominal fee.

All-inclusive golf excursions include priority tee times, round-trip transportation to and from course, and all cart and green fees. Equipment rental, including golf clubs and soft-spike shoes, are available, along with golf accessories such as golf balls, gloves and apparel.
