Links and Resources
As anyone who has studied the cruise industry has
found, there is lots of information out there to be read, but it is
sometimes difficult to tease out that which is important and that which
is a waste of time to look at. This page attempts to provide
links to useful resources and key information. If there are links
that need to be added, please let us know by writing to: ross@cruiseresearch.org

For other corporate information, see the respective company's filings
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. These are
available at each company's website (i.e., Carnival
Corp and RCCL).
Of particular interest are quarterly and annual reports (Forms 10Q and
10K for Carnival; 20F and 6K for RCCL), as well as reports to annual
meetings of shareholders (e.g., Form 14A for Carnival). In
addition to financial information, these filings include details about
the Board of Directors, about remuneration received by officers and and
board members, about law suits and other legal issues having financial
implications for the company, about the ships owned by the corporation
and its divisions and constituent companies, and much much more.
Though they can be at times laborious to read, the information garnered
is often invaluable depending on the nature of reserach being
undertaken.
