| Carnival Ecstasy and Carnival Fantasy were
the first ships to call at Puerta Maya, Carnival Corp's new pier at
Cozumel, which reopened today (October 16, 2008). The three-year
reconstruction project replaced the previous facility which was
destroyed by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Other Carnival brands and
additional Carnival Cruise Lines ships will also continue to utilize
Cozumel's other piers. Carnival Legend (at right) can be seen berthed at
an adjacent pier. |

| Carnival Ecstasy (at left) was the first to
dock, followed by Carnival Fantasy. The new two-berth pier can
accommodate any ship currently in the Carnival Corp fleet, and is built
to withstand a threshold category 5 hurricane. |

| The nine-acre cruise center at Puerta Maya
has a variety of shops, restaurants and bars. There is an adjacent
excursion pier and a four-acre transportation hub. |
