It's like General Motors making Chevrolets and Cadillacs - and owning German Opel and British Vauxhall - along with other brands --- to go after all segments of the market they are in.

It's old news.

Not to be confused with old gnus. Which would be very different indeed.

I guess old gnus are the lucky ones who successfully avoided the crocodiles on many of their migrations on the Kalahari.

It would absolutely be more interesting.

[MCC retired]

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.:)

Now, if they could just unload Carnival.

Just kidding (or am I?).

[GUT2407]

Happens in so many other fields too, retail automotive, food just a few that spring to mind.

I hope you weren't actually expecting a reply. ;)

[navybankerteacher]

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.

Ha! True. It would have been a first. ;)

Whether it's combinable or not depends on the cruise line I believe.
