Carnival Corporation established a commercial paper program on November 3, 2026, allowing it to issue short-term, unsecured notes with an aggregate outstanding limit of $2.0 billion. The notes carry maturities of up to 180 days and are guaranteed by Carnival UK Ltd., with proceeds expected for general corporate purposes. The filing gives no pricing, usage amounts, or changes to earnings, so the program's direct effect on shareholders depends on how much the company borrows under it.

- Notes mature in up to 180 days and rank equally with the company's other unsecured, unsubordinated debt.
- The company plans to use its revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for borrowings under the program.
- Dealer agreements and an issuing and paying agent agreement govern the program; the form of dealer agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1.
