those kinds of incidents -- the concordia, that was an accident and a tragedy, and that was more serious, but it happens once in 100 years. betty: a relative newcomer to the captain's chair, donald only became the ceo of carnival corporation in 2013, appointed by carnival's founding family, the arisons. and he is charting a new course for the biggest name in the industry. under the banner of the cruise line industry association, or clia, there are 62 cruise lines worldwide servicing more than 21 million passengers, with big names like disney and norwegian joining carnival and royal caribbean. carnival is the largest with eight other brands. with more than 120,000 employees across the world, and 10 million passengers last year, nearly half of the cruising population. that bigger market share also means a bigger spotlight when things go wrong. there's one professor who came out with statistics and found that between 2009 to 2013 there were 300 plus incidents on cruise ships, whether very small or very large, the ones that make it onto national networks. so the perception that these are hap
