    Good ol' websters dictionary says it can be pronounced either way. In WI you hear both, but care-a-bee-an most often.

    There is that good old pirate musical (isn't it The Pirate?) with I think Judy Garland where they even have a song that ends like "in the Care ib Bee.. or the Ca RIB ian sea"

    Must be a geographical pronounciation because I only ever hear Ka-rib-be-an.

    I pronounce it both ways, but use Care-a-bee-an more.
