The Financial Times reports that Royal Caribbean Cruises has hinted it might walk away from the £4.8bn agreed merger with P&O Princess if the British cruise line acceded to requests by Carnival to postpone a shareholder meeting to agree the deal. Carnival, which has made a hostile bid for the UK company, is reported to have stepped up the pressure on P&O by renewing calls for a meeting with its management and for the postponement of the extraordinary meeting.
