Is Cunard Retaining It’s Distinctiveness Within Carnival Cruise Lines?

…ilt without the resources of Carnival. As long as there is the demand from travelers for the “Britishness” and style of Cunard, I believe that it will flourish.

I think Carnival should be astute enough to understand the principles and need for having a portfolio of brands that offer different things to differe…
