Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
General | General The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc and their respective subsidiaries. Together with their consolidated subsidiaries, they are referred to collectively in these consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this joint Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “Carnival Corporation & plc,” “our,” “us” and “we.” The Consolidated Balance Sheet at May 31, 2014, the Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and, in the opinion of our management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Carnival Corporation & plc 2013 joint Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2014. Our operations are seasonal and results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation. Cruise passenger ticket revenues include fees, taxes and charges collected by us from our guests. The portion of these fees, taxes and charges included in passenger ticket revenues and commissions, transportation and other costs were [$125 million] and $116 million and [$262 million] and $255 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, repairs and maintenance expenses, including minor improvement costs and dry-dock expenses, were [$266 million] and $239 million and [$514 million] and $464 million, respectively, and are substantially all included in other ship operating expenses
