Carnival Corporation, like many other companies, has had its ups and downs throughout the years of its existence. Their "first cruise ship, the TSS Mardi Gras, ran aground on a sandbar during its inaugural voyage." (Business Insider, p.1) In 1998 one of the company’s cruise ships had a fire in the laundry room that led to the ship losing its course.

In their 2012 Annual report, the company states “revenues declined $410 million primarily as a result of the direct and indirect consequences of the Costa Concordia incident”.

Carnival Cruise Lines is one of the most profited and vacationed cruise line. All over the world, tourists venture this billion-dollar cooperation and have never thought their business strategy to keep them profitable every year. With all the fun it comes, it has a big price tag to operate these liners.
