This is Cruise Radio.

Hey, how's it going? My name is Doug Parker.

Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here.

Going to do things a little bit different this week as we have been the past few weeks as the cruise lines ramp up and begin to put their ships back into service.

Coming up on this show, we'll talk to Carnival Cruise Lines, President Christine Duffy, Carnival's brand ambassador, John Heald, and the drink guy.

Yeah, the vice president of beverage operations, Eddie Allen.

They'll all join us later on in this show, had a chance to speak with them while on the sixth night sailing.

But before we get to the important people, we're going to talk with staff writer Richard Sims.

He has about five or six questions to ask me about the sailing and some thoughts, and I'm going to kind of kick around some ideas and my experience with him. By the way, if you're looking for the news, Cruise Radio News, it's opposite of this, the daily three things you need to know. You could also find that on YouTube as well on the Cruise Radio YouTube channel. All right, staff writer Richard Sims is here. Hello, Richard.

Hey, Doug. All right, man, as always, it's all yours. Ah, this is my favorite part when I get to finally take over. So I think I speak on behalf of most people when I say, you know, we're all

incredibly jealous of you because since cruising has returned, you've done two cruises in a row.

Last time was Edge. Now we're going to be

talking about Carnival Horizon. You did a series of really awesome trip reports that people can go

to the site and see, and I'm sure you'll link them in the comments as well. So let's focus today

a little bit on some of the things that people are most interested in, the things that people are most talking about as far as what's changed and what's not changed with the return to service.

And I think the first thing that comes to mind really probably is the muster drill.

So how was that handled on Carnival Horizon?

Yes, this is probably, as I said on Celebrity Edge last week when I was sailing and I was saying that everything felt so normal.
