I first watched this show after we booked a cruise on Carnival Horizon, which is the ship featured in this show. I found it fascinating to see how things work and all of the behind the scenes action that never really crossed my mind. Due to Covid, our cruise was cancelled but we’ve rebooked on the Horizon. I’ve since watched this show a few times and find it interesting every time.
