Shareholder's Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholder's Equity | Shareholders’ Equity On April 10, 2018, the Boards of Directors approved a modification of the general authorization to repurchase Carnival Corporation common stock and/or Carnival plc ordinary shares (the “Repurchase Program”), which replenished the remaining authorized repurchases at the time of the approval to $1.0 billion. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, we repurchased 4.7 million shares of Carnival plc ordinary shares and 3.1 million shares of Carnival Corporation common stock for $312 million and $201 million, respectively, under the Repurchase Program. At May 31, 2018, the remaining availability under the Repurchase Program was $827 million. During the three months ended May 31, 2018, our Boards of Directors declared a dividend to holders of Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ordinary shares of $0.50 per share, which was an increase from the prior dividend of $0.45 per share.
