Editorial Summary

Host Doug Parker provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the Carnival Horizon, a Vista class ship launched in April 2018. The tour begins with an overview of the ship's capacity and its homeport in Miami. Parker details specific deck layouts, starting with the family harbor area on deck two which features specialized staterooms and a private lounge. He navigates through various dining options, ranging from the complimentary buffet and pizzeria on deck ten to specialty venues like Fahrenheit 505 steakhouse, Banzai sushi, and the Guy Fieri branded Pig and Anchor smokehouse. The guide also covers entertainment hubs including the Liquid Lounge, the Punchliner Comedy Club, and the IMAX theater. Parker offers practical advice regarding the ship's unique touchscreen elevator system and suggests timing for popular activities like the Sky Ride and ropes course.
