MCC retired Posted August 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yes, old news indeed . Several of those Carnival Corp cruise lines would no longer be in business if Carnival Corp hadn't acquired them when they did , building them new ships . CCL Shareholders (100 shares) are eligible for OBC when sailing on those cruise lines (I believe all) , combinable with most all promo's and rates.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted August 6, 2016 #22 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Does McDonalds own anyplace that serves food? Actually, McDonalds only owns about 15% of McDonalds restaurants - about 85% are "owned" by franchisees - many of whom could "own" other businesses which serve food. And, who is McDonalds? If you see the stockholders of the corporation as the owners, many of them might own, directly or indirectly, other restaurants. So it is possible that a given McDonalds might own a place that serves food, and the McDonalds corporation might as well. There is no easy answer to your question.
