The players

Lest you think that all the passenger ships at sea are owned by their various lines, healthy and happy in their individual and competitive business dealings, you should note this:

http://www.carnivalcorp.com/Sections/InvestorOverview/Brands.aspx

What ho! The gracious couple who have sailed a number of times from their home in England and who took me in tow as we went through the suites on board the ship yesterday were right.

“You know, lad,” the gentleman of the couple said, leaning close. “This is an American ship.”

Hard to argue with him, at least in part and at least in spirit. Take a look at that web site and notice all the lines that now sail under Carnival’s watchful eye.
