Schindler Destination Dispatch on Carnival’s New, Largest Ship

Florida-headquartered Carnival Cruise Lines’ Horizon, the largest vessel in its fleet, is the first to be outfitted with a destination-dispatch elevator system, Travel Weekly reported. Carnival tells ELEVATOR WORLD Schindler provided the system. Carnival officials told the source passengers are “curious and cautious” with the system for the first few days, then find it very user friendly. Horizon embarks approximately 1,800 people an hour on embarkation days, when the system is reprogrammed to stop only at certain decks. The ship had its maiden voyage out of Barcelona earlier this year. Horizon is scheduled to begin cruising to the Caribbean out of Miami in September
