Who is the best business contact at Carnival Cruise Lines or Princess
or Royal Carribean to discuss the idea of deploying an application on
the cell phone that will provide passengers with any information about
the cruise at any time they want it.  The application will be written
in Java and run on cell phones with full color screens and sound
capabilities.  This allows the cruise line to extend the experience of
the cruise on to the cell phone while also being informational and
entertaining.  Please include the business title of the contact, name,
phone number, email, and location.  Thank you.

I have names, titles, locations and phone numbers of the executives
that you would want to speak with at Princess and RCCL, but no email
addresses.  Would this suffice?

Yes.  Please include as much information about each person as possible
so that I may approach them in the best manner.  Any suggestions on
how to approach them are also appreciated.  Thank you.

Thanks for your question.  Your idea sounds like a great concept! 
Here are some contacts that may help you get in front of the right
people.  I have included the US addresses in Florida as the contact
information. From a sales perspective, I would call and ask for the
contacts listed.  Chances are you are not going to get right through
to them.  You may get a receptionist/"gate keeper".  Ask for their
email address and let that person know basically what you want to
discuss.  You may even get a different contact, but I am a firm
believer that starting from the top down is the best shot:
